- Patient knowledge questionnaire (investigator-created) [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]The change in participant knowledge as measured with a patient knowledge questionnaire. This questionnaire was created by the study investigators and piloted by physicians within our institutions. It was submitted to and approved by our IRB for use in this study. This is a 15-point questionnaire (true/false/unknown answer choices) in which 1 point is given for each correct response and 0 points given for incorrect or unanswered questions (minimum score: 0/15, maximum score: 15/15). The questions pertain to the risks, benefits, and procedure of the mid-urethral sling surgery. Higher scores indicate better participant knowledge. A subscale of mesh-related questions will also be examined. This subscale reports the participant knowledge pertaining to complications and procedural knowledge specific to the use of mesh in the mid-urethral sling. The scale of this subset ranges from 0/5 to 5/5, with higher scores indicating greater participant knowledge.
