Towards reducing diagnostic delay in endometriosis in primary care: a qualitative study.

Background: Due to a heterogeneity of symptoms, a lack of an adequate diagnostic test, and a lack of awareness, diagnostic delay in endometriosis in primary care on average amounts to 35 months.

Aim: To determine which interventions are most feasible to reduce time to diagnosis in primary care, focusing on GPs' preferences, the intervention's content, design, and implementation.

Design & Setting: We conducted a qualitative study by performing focus groups with GPs and GP trainees between July and October 2021.

Determining the effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy in improving quality of life in patients undergoing endometriosis surgery: a study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Endometriosis can cause chronic pain and subfertility thereby negatively affecting quality of life (QoL). Surgical removal of endometriosis lesions leads to improved health-related QoL, although not to the level of QoL of healthy controls. Pain intensity and cognitions regarding pain can play a crucial role in this health-related QoL following surgical treatment.

Patients' perspective on cognitive behavioural therapy after surgical treatment of endometriosis: a qualitative study.

Research Question: Would adding cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to the treatment of endometriosis improve the quality of life of patients suffering from endometriosis-associated pain? The aim of this study was to identify if patients believed CBT should be added to endometriosis treatment and which form of CBT they would prefer: face-to-face individual or group, or web-based individual, sessions.

Design: Between November 2019 and January 2020, semi-structured focus groups were conducted using an interview guide to ensure all topics were discussed. Data collection was continued until saturation was obtained.
