Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates whether rapid sequence animation videos (RSAV) are of use as an additional learning resource for the elective pre-operative patient. The investigators aimed to do this by comparing the change in knowledge and anxiety in two groups; Half of the patients were allocated to the normal patient pathway and the other half received the educational video as an additional preoperative learning resource.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This single centre single-blinded randomised controlled study evaluates whether rapid sequence animation videos (RSAV) are of use as an additional learning resource for the elective pre-operative patient. The investigators aimed to do this by comparing the change in knowledge and anxiety from baseline to immediately preoperatively. Patients were block randomised to either the normal patient pathway or to receive the educational video as an additional preoperative learning resource.

Patients over 18 years of age electively listed for lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) and transobturator / transvaginal tape (TVT/TOT) were included.

Two RSAV were created explaining LSCS and TVT/TOT. Participants were block-randomised in groups of 10 to either control (no video) or intervention (video). Two questionnaires assessing anxiety were completed at baseline and immediately preoperatively using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and a State- Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Patient knowledge was assessed using a custom questionnaire. Primary outcome measures were the change in knowledge and anxiety scores.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Two RSAV were created explaining LSCS and TVT/TOT. Participants were block-randomised in groups of 10 to either control (no video) or intervention (video). Target recruitment was 60 patients per group; 30 patients per arm.
Primary Study Purpose

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Caregivers Outcome Assessors
Patients were block randomised in groups of 10 participants to either control (no video) or intervention (video), using opaque envelopes. Both control and intervention arms received standard pre-operative face to face counseling and written information. Clinicians were blinded to allocation. A research nurse blinded to allocation performed data entry.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

LSCS Control Arm

Patients undergoing elective LSCS allocated to this arm underwent the normal preoperative educational pathway. This typically included face-to-face consultation and written information leaflets.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

LSCS Intervention ArmIntervention Arm

Patients undergoing elective LSCS allocated to this arm underwent the normal preoperative educational pathway, but prior to the operation were shown the educational RSAV (LSCS Video) as an additional educational resource.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

LSCS Video

Intervention Type OTHER

LSCS video created depicting the patient journey for elective LSCS patients.

TVT/TOT Control Arm

Patients undergoing elective TVT/TOT allocated to this arm underwent the normal preoperative educational pathway. This typically included face-to-face consultation and written information leaflets.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

TVT/TOT Interventional Arm

Patients undergoing elective TVT/TOT allocated to this arm underwent the normal preoperative educational pathway, but prior to the operation were shown the educational RSAV (TVT/TOT Video) as an additional educational resource.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

TVT/TOT Video

Intervention Type OTHER

TVT/TOT video created depicting the patient journey for elective TVT/TOT patients.
