For the statistical analysis, a two by two between-group design was applied including the following group factors: the repeat factors included patients, who presented to our centre of dysplasia for the first time (new) and patients who have had an examination in our centre before (repeat). Further, the factor diagnosis included two groups: first, patients with cervical dysplasia and second, patients with vulva diseases.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The analysis of the STAI results showed that patients presenting with cervical dysplasia for the first time had the highest levels of anxiety, directly followed by new patients in the vulva group. The ANOVA revealed a main effect of the repeat factor, <jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic>(1,140)\u2009=\u20097.53, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.007.

The prospect of a potentially painful examination seems to be a key factor. Only a scientific evaluation of the new cervical cancer screening will be able to show if the rising numbers of colposcopic examinations is really worth the risk of exposing so many more women to the emotional distress of a colposcopy.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00404-021-06337-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,26]],"date-time":"2021-11-26T15:02:56Z","timestamp":1637938976000},"page":"625-630","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Anxiety in women referred for colposcopy: a prospective observational study"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"305","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1841-4207","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julia","family":"Wittenborn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa","family":"Wagels","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tomas","family":"Kupec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Severine","family":"Iborra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laila","family":"Najjari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elmar","family":"Stickeler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"6337_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"755","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1018435522475","volume":"8","author":"L Gustafsson","year":"1997","unstructured":"Gustafsson L, Ponten J, Zack M et al (1997) International incidence rates of invasive cervical cancer after introduction of cytological screening.
