چکیده

Background & aim: The intrauterine device (IUD) is a widely used reversible contraceptive with risks such as expulsion or infection, necessitating informed consent. There is a gap in studies on informed consent forms for IUD placement. This study uses the Delphi method to create a comprehensive consent form tailored for IUD insertion.Methods: This research was conducted at Yazd University of Medical Sciences (۲۰۱۹-۲۰۱۸) using the Delphi technique. Thirty experts, including gynecologists, midwives, and reproductive health specialists, participated in three Delphi rounds. A draft consent form was prepared based on literature studies, previous research, and expert opinions. The Delphi rounds aimed to establish necessity, determine item importance, and gauge expert agreement.Results: Three Delphi rounds were conducted with ۲۸, ۲۴, and ۲۴ participants, respectively. The consent form, designed in nine areas, was reviewed and refined. Items with ۷۵% agreement or more were accepted in the first round, while those with ۲۵% agreement or less were removed. The second and third rounds considered agreement levels above ۷۵% and change rates below ۱۵%. An acceptable consensus above ۵۱% was reached, resulting in a finalized consent form with five sections: demographic characteristics, general IUD placement features, contraindications, patient responsibilities, and declaration of consent.Conclusion: Implementing the informed consent form in the clinical process of IUD placement is essential for respecting client autonomy, minimizing risks, addressing clinical consequences, and fulfilling legal responsibilities. Research on the use of the designed form in patients desiring an IUD is suggested.
