Evaluation of Interventions Based on Behavioral Sciences to Reduce Episiotomy Use

"The healthcare professionals in the intervention arm will be exposed to feedback and information behavioral strategies. Namely, interns, residents, obstetricians/gynecologists, and nurses will receive written feedback about the episiotomy rates in the hospital each month during the study period. Moreover, at least two academic sessions will be designed to outline the indications, surgical technique, complications, and surgical ethics for the procedure (i.e., episiotomy). Likewise, each session will also include a patient testimonial about their experience during delivery and their follow-up when an episiotomy was performed.~The feedback intervention will be provided for 2 months, and the feedback intervention + the information intervention will be provided for 2 additional months."
