Summary

The communication of an altered Pap smear or positive HPV test has a strong impact on patients on a psychological level. HPV positive women are more likely to have higher level of stress, anxiety, depression and impaired sexual life. The examiner want to establish this impact through different surveys (DASS-21 (Depression Anxiety Stress Scales); PCL-5 (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist); DTS (Dyadic Trust Scale), CDDQ (Cervical Dysplasia Distress Questionnaire) and MPI (Match Patient Inventory) from the moment the patient receives the news until after completing treatment for her intraepithelial neoplasia.
