Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

STAI questionnaire score

This is a validated questionnaire for the assessment of state anxiety called the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). It includes 20 items presenting feelings characteristic of anxiety. Participants will be asked to rate how much each of the described feelings characterizes them at the moment on a scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much so). The final score on each questionnaire is obtained by summing all the ratings, after reversing the scale on the positively worded items. A higher score indicates a higher level of anxiety.

Time frame
Patient in both the study and the control groups will be asked to complete the STAI questionnaire twice as detailed below: • Prior to labor induction • After completion of IOL (either immediately after insertion of EAB or first PGE2 tablet).

Secondary outcomes

1

satisfaction questionnaire

Participants in both groups will be asked to complete a satisfaction questionnaire after IOL on a scale of one to five (1 - very low satisfaction, 2 - low satisfaction, 3 - moderate satisfaction, 4 - high satisfaction, 5 - very high satisfaction).

Time frame
After completion of IOL (either immediately after insertion of EAB or first PGE2 tablet).
