Comparison of Written and Visual Patient Education Methods Before Urodynamic Studies: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of written versus visual patient education methods on anxiety, comprehension, hemodynamic parameters, and satisfaction in patients undergoing urodynamic studies. The results indicated that visual education methods, particularly video demonstrations, significantly reduced anxiety and improved procedural comprehension compared to written methods, while also enhancing patient satisfaction. The findings suggest that incorporating video-based education into patient preparation could be beneficial in clinical practice.
