Impact of a Preoperative Instructional Video on Patient Preparedness

NCT07364968 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 57

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In this study, the investigators will evaluate the impact of a pre-operative instructional video for patients undergoing minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. The video will educate patients to understand what to expect and how to take care of themselves after the procedure. The effectiveness of the video will be evaluated via a questionnaire to see if patients who watched the video had better recovery outcomes, greater understanding, and less anxiety when compared to the group of patients who did not watch the pre-operative video.

The two questions the investigators wish to address are:

1. Will the patients who watch the pre-operative will show decreased anxiety and uncertainty about their procedure when compared to the control group?
2. Will increased understanding of the information shared in the video result in less pain medication usage, less ambiguity and thus increased compliance with post-operative care instructions, and quicker recovery?
