    (Elsevier Espana, 2024) Can, O.; Bozkurt, M.; Danis, E.; Keskin, E. Taha; Kandemir, E.; Canat, H. Lutfi
    Objective: Our objective was to assess the impact of video-animated information on the anxiety levels of patients undergoing ureteral stent removal under local anesthesia. Method: The study was designed as a randomized prospective trial. The one group received only verbal and written information before the surgery, while the other group received video-animated information in addition to the written and verbal instructions. The patients' anxiety levels were assessed using the STAI-S and STAI-T questionnaires, while their pain scores were evaluated using VAS scores. Tolerability and satisfaction scores were also evaluated on a 5-point Likert scale. Results: The video-group (Group 1) consisted of 74 patients, while the non-video group (Group 2) consisted of 82 patients. The mean pre-information STAI-T score was 34.4 +/- 3.7 in Group 1 and 35.2 +/- 3 in the Group 2 (p = 0.113). In the video group, pre-information STAI-S scores was 34.8 +/- 3.3 and post-information STAI-S scores was 33.8 +/- 3 (p < 0.001). In the non-video group, pre-information STAI-S score was 35.6 +/- 2.6 and post-information STAI-S score was 35.5 +/- 2.7 (p = 0.260). The mean VAS score of Group 1 is 5.7 +/- 1.2 and Group 2 is 5.7 +/- 1.4 (p = 0.608). The mean tolerability scores of Group 1 and Group 2 were 3.7 +/- 0.9 and 2.7 +/- 1, respectively. The mean satisfaction scores of Group 1 and Group 2 were 4.1 +/- 0.9 and 2.6 +/- 1, respectively. Both tolerability score and satisfaction score improved statistically significantly after video information (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Providing video-animated information in addition to written and verbal information before removing the ureteral stent reduces patients' preoperative anxiety. Furthermore, patient tolerance and satisfaction are higher when informative videos are included.
