Summary

Thorough, understandable discharge instructions empower caregivers, allowing them to provide optimum care of their children during illness. Unfortunately discharge instructions are often incomplete and difficult to understand. The use of video discharge instructions has been shown to increase patient understanding of their illness. The investigators would like to know if using video discharge instructions for caregivers of children with middle ear infections helps to better understand how to take care of children at home, potentially allowing the child to feel better faster. The investigators will be comparing video discharge instructions to a paper handout to see if the former leads to improved well-being of the child and improved caregiver knowledge, satisfaction and anxiety.
