Such labor induction\u00a0protocols focus on active management with recommendations for frequent cervical exams, early amniotomy, and intervention when no cervical change is made (e.g., oxytocin or intrauterine pressure catheter). Here, we aimed to characterize the clinician perspective on the feasibility and acceptability of each of these components of a standardized labor induction protocol to improve implementation of standardized labor induction practices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This sequential mixed\u2010methods study first surveyed clinicians after implementation of a standardized labor induction protocol at two sites in 2021. We used the four\u2010question validated Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM; total 4\u201320) as well as a single acceptability item (1\u20135) for each of eight specific protocol components. Total AIM scores were grouped into tertiles. Clinicians in the top (\u201cHigh\u201d Acceptability) and bottom (\u201cLow\u201d Acceptability) tertiles were purposively sampled to participate in a semi\u2010structured interview. Topics included (1) acceptability of protocol components, (2) barriers\/facilitators to adherence, and (3) strategies for overcoming barriers. Interviews were coded using an integrated approach with high inter\u2010rater reliability (\n                      <jats:italic>k<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.83).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 104 clinicians (57 physicians, 43 RNs, 4 CNMs) completed the survey. Median total AIM score was 15\/20 [IQR 12\u201319]. Protocol components with the highest scores on the individual acceptability item focused on not continuing \u201cfutile\u201d cervical ripening, as well as interventions for active labor dystocia. Components with low acceptability included frequent cervical exams and early amniotomy. A total of 24 clinicians were interviewed (12 \u201cHigh\u201d and 12 \u201cLow\u201d Acceptability). Clinicians described barriers to implementation of less acceptable components of the protocol, including staff\/time constraints, best\u2010practice disagreements, and concerns around patient satisfaction. Clinicians recommended more education around the protocol's safety\/efficacy and communication about anticipated labor induction\u00a0steps to overcome these barriers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This work describes the clinician perspective on specific labor induction interventions and provides concrete recommendations to overcome implementation barriers of a standardized labor induction protocol.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/pmf2.70117","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,27]],"date-time":"2025-09-27T00:14:06Z","timestamp":1758932046000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Standardization of labor induction management: A mixed\u2010methods evaluation of the clinician perspective"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"1","author":[{"given":"Jessica K.","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rinad S.","family":"Beidas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Social Sciences Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine  Chicago Illinois USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julia E.","family":"Szymczak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine University of Utah Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine  Salt Lake City Utah USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sindhu K.","family":"Srinivas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pregnancy and Perinatal Research Center Division of Maternal\u2010Fetal Medicine Department of Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"},{"name":"Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samuel","family":"Parry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pregnancy and Perinatal Research Center Division of Maternal\u2010Fetal Medicine Department of Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lisa D.","family":"Levine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pregnancy and Perinatal Research Center Division of Maternal\u2010Fetal Medicine Department of Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"},{"name":"Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rebecca F.","family":"Hamm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pregnancy and Perinatal Research Center Division of Maternal\u2010Fetal Medicine Department of Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"},{"name":"Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,26]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Births: Final Data for 2022","volume":"73","author":"Osterman M.
