Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create and evaluate an educational video designed to encourage women with pelvic organ prolapse to use vaginal pessaries.
- The video went through various production stages, including script development and technical evaluations by experts, achieving high validation scores of 0.99 for content and 91.1% to 100% agreement among judges.
- Ultimately, the video was found to effectively promote the use of pessaries, with an impressive assessment rating of 96% to 100% from the target audience.
