About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the effects of QR code-based video-supported anesthesia information on preoperative anxiety, comprehensibility of information, and patient satisfaction in adult patients undergoing elective surgery.

Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either a control group receiving standard written informed consent and routine verbal anesthesia information or an intervention group receiving the same standard information plus a standardized video-based educational intervention accessed through a QR code.

The primary outcome is the change in the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) anxiety score before and after the information process. Secondary outcomes include comprehensibility of information and patient satisfaction assessed using a structured Likert-type questionnaire.

The findings may contribute to the standardization of patient information processes in anesthesia outpatient clinics through a low-cost and easily implementable digital educational approach.

  • QR Code-Based Video-Supported Anesthesia Information

    Behavioral

    Participants receive standard written informed consent and routine verbal anesthesia information plus a standardized QR code-based video-supported educational intervention. The video includes information regarding anesthesia types, fasting requirements, perioperative preparation, potential complications, common side effects, patient rights, and informed consent.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in APAIS Anxiety Score

Change in the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) anxiety subscale score from before the information process (T1) to after completion of the information process (T2). The APAIS anxiety subscale ranges from 4 to 20, with higher scores indicating greater preoperative anxiety.

Time frame
Immediately before and immediately after completion of the information process (same study visit)

Secondary outcomes

1

Information Comprehensibility Score

Comprehensibility of anesthesia information assessed using a structured 10-item Likert-type questionnaire. Total scores range from 10 to 50, with higher scores indicating better understanding and comprehensibility of the information provided.

Time frame
Immediately after completion of the information process
2

Patient Satisfaction Score

Patient satisfaction with the anesthesia information process assessed using a structured 10-item Likert-type questionnaire. Total scores range from 10 to 50, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction with the information process.

Time frame
Immediately after completion of the information process
