Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol
December 2024
Aims: The Antwerp Pelvic Floor Knowledge Questionnaire (APFK-Q) is a self-administered tool used for assessing women's knowledge of the pelvic floor, an essential element of pelvic health education initiatives. The aim of this study was to validate the French version of the APFK-Q and to assess its psychometric properties.
Methods: Acceptability of the cultural adaptation of APFK-Q in French (translation/back-translation) was assessed in two groups of women: one group not working in the healthcare sector (non-healthworkers, n = 112), and another of student midwives (n = 29).
Objective: Pelvic floor health education workshops for women appear to improve women's knowledge and pelvic floor symptoms. Our aim was to obtain expert consensus on the content and format of a pelvic floor health education program using the Delphi method.
Material And Methods: A two-round Delphi study was conducted involving French-speaking multidisciplinary experts in pelvic floor dysfunction management.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of group pelvic floor education workshops on participants' knowledge, satisfaction, and changes in urinary and digestive habits, while also comparing healthcare providers' knowledge to that of the general population.
- The workshops were conducted online from May 2021 to June 2022 and included discussions on pelvic floor anatomy, physiology, risk factors for pelvic floor disorders, and preventive measures; participants filled out questionnaires before and after to measure changes in knowledge and behavior.
- Results indicated a significant increase in pelvic floor knowledge for both healthcare providers and non-providers, with many participants reporting improved understanding and a willingness to change their urinary and digestive behaviors after the workshops.

Currently, little is known concerning post-partum perineal symptoms in cases of a subsequent vaginal delivery. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of perineal functional symptoms following a vaginal delivery after OASIS while comparing them to patients who did not have a subsequent delivery.
