However, many oral contraceptive side\u2010effects may be the result of a psychological nocebo effect. In this preliminary study, we investigate whether correlates of nocebo effects are associated with oral contraceptive side\u2010effect experience.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An exploratory online cross\u2010sectional survey of 275 female, predominantly young, White respondents was conducted. Associations between psychological factors previously implicated in nocebo responses (beliefs about medicines, perceived sensitivity to medicines, side\u2010effect expectations, medicine information seeking, anxiety and trust in medicines), and oral contraceptive side\u2010effect experience were assessed using regression analyses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Increased side\u2010effect expectations, stronger beliefs that medicines cause harm and are overused, increased perceived sensitivity to medicines, and decreased trust in medicine development were associated with increased attribution of symptoms to the oral contraceptive. Higher side\u2010effect attribution scores were also associated with discontinued oral contraceptive use.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These preliminary findings demonstrate a potential role that nocebo\u2010related factors may have in impacting oral contraceptive side\u2010effect experience. Importantly, these factors are amenable to psychological interventions which could be employed to reduce oral contraceptive side\u2010effect experience and, as a result, unnecessary discontinuation. Future research must first assess such relationships using a prospective design to confirm the direction of the associations identified using more diverse samples of oral contraceptive users to increase the generalisability of findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/psrh.70012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,27]],"date-time":"2025-05-27T03:24:53Z","timestamp":1748316293000},"page":"133-137","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Exploring the Relationship Between Medicine Related Beliefs and Side\u2010Effect Experience Among White Oral Contraceptive Users in the\n                    <scp>UK<\/scp>"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Lorna","family":"Reid","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology University of Sheffield, ICOSS  Sheffield UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebecca K.","family":"Webster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology University of Sheffield, ICOSS  Sheffield UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2006.12.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0b013e3182a91f45"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0b013e31821188ad"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.contraception.2010.06.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","volume-title":"Contraceptive Methods Women Have Ever Used: United States, 1982\u20132010","author":"Daniels K.","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mehy.2004.02.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/postgradmedj-2012-131730"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.287.5.622"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/hea0000416"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.paid.2006.07.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpsychores.2019.109866"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/hex.13059"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bjhp.12298"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/acr.20160"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1348\/135910704322778759"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.12637"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cncr.20423"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.32872\/cpe.v1i1.29642"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_20_1","unstructured":"Qualtrics. 2020 ed.
