- NCT05522686
- Lead Sponsor
- Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi
- Brief Summary
Aim: This study was carried out to compare the effects of different education methods utilized before a urodynamic testing procedure on patients' pain, anxiety, readiness for the procedure, and satisfaction.
Background: Urodynamic testing is an invasive procedure that causes pain and anxiety. Patient education is an evidence-based nursing intervention that relieves pain and anxiety and increases patient satisfaction.
Design: The study is a single-center, randomized controlled clinical trial. Method: Participants (n=80) were randomly assigned to four groups. While patients in the control group were provided with routine clinical information, patients in the intervention group were given education with brochures, videos, and brochure-supported videos. The research data were collected by using a Data Collection Form with items about participants' descriptive characteristics, the State Anxiety Inventory, and the Visual Analog Scale.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Satisfaction management immediately after urodynamics This form, which has three sections, namely pre-education, post-education/pre-procedure, and post-procedure, includes the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and a recording table for some physiological parameters (blood pressure, pulse, respiration). The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a valid, reliable, and usable measurement tool for repeated measurements. The VAS has been used in many studies to evaluate readiness for the urodynamic procedure, satisfaction, pain, procedure-related expectation of pain, and willingness to have the procedure again if necessary (Shim, 2017; Warda, 2019; Öztürk, 2019). In this study, readiness for the procedure, satisfaction, procedure-related expectation of pain, and willingness to have the procedure again if necessary, which are among parameters that are thought to affect the subsequent health behaviors of patients, were evaluated by using the VAS.
Change from Pain baseline (before education), pre-urodynamics and immediately after urodynamics This form, which has three sections, namely pre-education, post-education/pre-procedure, and post-procedure, includes the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and a recording table for some physiological parameters (blood pressure, pulse, respiration). The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a valid, reliable, and usable measurement tool for repeated measurements. The VAS has been used in many studies to evaluate readiness for the urodynamic procedure, satisfaction, pain, procedure-related expectation of pain, and willingness to have the procedure again if necessary (Shim, 2017; Warda, 2019; Öztürk, 2019). In this study, readiness for the procedure, satisfaction, procedure-related expectation of pain, and willingness to have the procedure again if necessary, which are among parameters that are thought to affect the subsequent health behaviors of patients, were evaluated by using the VAS.
Change from Anxiety baseline (before education), pre-urodynamics and immediately after urodynamics This is a questionnaire consisting of short statements developed by C.D. Spielberger et al. in 1970. The inventory, which consists of 20 items in total, is used to determine how an individual feels at a certain time and under certain conditions. Scores that can be obtained on the scale range between 20 and 80. A high score indicates a high level of anxiety, and a low score indicates a low level of anxiety (Spielberger, 1983).
Change from Readiness for the Procedure baseline(before education) and pre-urodynamics. In this study, readiness for the procedure which are among parameters that are thought to affect the subsequent health behaviors of patients, were evaluated by using the VAS.
