Wang Z, Yuan W, Tu X, et al. - Researchers conducted a self-administered survey at 2 Chinese national academic conferences in 2015 in order to examine the knowledge and beliefs concerning the use of intrauterine devices (IUDs) for nulliparous women among Chinese healthcare providers. Further, they investigated the potential factors associated with their misconceptions and conservative beliefs. Analysis of questionnaire data collected from 103 healthcare providers revealed the common existence of misconceptions about the complications associated with IUD use among these respondents. These respondents less frequently knew that IUDs do not raise the risk of developing pelvic inflammatory disease (26/97) or ectopic pregnancy (23/102) (22.5%-26.8%). There were only about 10% of providers who accepted that adolescents (9/94) or unmarried nulliparas (10/95) could be candidates for IUDs. Insufficient knowledge concerning IUDs seemed to contribute to the outdated and conservative beliefs among healthcare providers about the suitability of IUDs for nulliparous women. Further, the providers’ beliefs regarding IUD use for married and unmarried nulliparous women differed reflecting the stigma linked with premarital sex in Chinese traditional culture.
