Purpose.
To investigate whether adding video assistance to traditional verbal informed consent advisement improved satisfaction among cataract surgery patients.
Methods.
This trial enrolled 80 Chinese patients with age-related cataracts scheduled to undergo unilateral phacoemulsification surgery.
Patients were randomized into two groups: the video group watched video explaining cataract-related consent information and rewatched specific segments of the video at their own discretion, before receiving traditional verbal consent advisement; the control group did not watch the video.
Outcomes included patient satisfaction, refusal to consent, time to complete the consent process, and comprehension measured by a ten-item questionnaire.
Results.
All 80 enrolled patients signed informed consent forms.
Compared with the control group, members of the video group exhibited greater satisfaction (65% versus 86%, p=0.035) and required less time to complete the consent process (12.3±6.7 min versus 5.6±5.4 min, p<0.001), while also evincing levels of comprehension commensurate with those reported for patients who did not watch the video (accuracy rate, 77.5% versus 80.2%, p=0.386).
Conclusion.
The video-assisted informed consent process had a positive impact on patients’ cataract surgery experiences.
Additional research is needed to optimize patients’ comprehension of the video.
