This is a qualitative research on the experiences of women undergoing pelvic examination (PE) in a teaching hospital in Taiwan. The study used purposive sampling to recruit 20 participants who met the study criteria. Data was collected through direct patient interview, observation and telephone interviews. The primary investigator used content analysis to categorize data. Four themes derived from the text were: (1) sense of uncertainty in the waiting room, (2) sense of vulnerability on the examination table, (3) self-adjustment during the process of the examination, and (4) emotional changes at the end of the examination. The results may be used to provide better support for women undergoing pelvic examinations.
