NH AIM/ERASE MM Webinar: Beyond Kegels: Understanding the Mental Health Implications of Childbirth-Related Pelvic Floor Injuries and Conditions

This session will provide a general introduction and overview of pelvic floor injuries and conditions, including rates of occurrence and risk and protective factors. Our AIM implementation team and the NHPQC will briefly share administrative updates and relevant elements from New Hampshire's active Patient Safety Bundles. We will then hear from Kimberley Johnson, PhD, Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Community and Family Medicine and Department of Psychiatry at DHMC, who will discuss the mental health and quality of life implications of childbirth-related pelvic floor injuries (including presentation of her dissertation data) and provide practical tools including screening, treatment resources, and example scripts for use in patient settings. We will end the hour with an interactive Q&A session.
