Engaging Patients for Physical Exams During Virtual Care Visits

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Self-preformed Hand Examination

• Registration Number: NCT05790811
• Lead Sponsor: Henry Ford Health System

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to validate patient-oriented edits to a guided video on self-performed hand examination in participants with no prior hand diagnoses or medical background. The study aims to:

* examine the effect of adding interactive components to an existing orthopedic provider video

* determine if these changes enhance patients' understanding of hand and wrist anatomy as well as carpal tunnel syndrome

* determine if patients are able to use this video to perform an effective physical exam Participants will watch an original physician-oriented training video and a second version (patient-oriented video), which was edited with the input of a patient advisory committee to include interactive elements and a slower speed. The order in which the participants will watch the video will be randomized.

If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare knowledge scores and general patient preference between the two videos being examined.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Knowledge Score immediately following the viewing of a video presenting the knowledge	10 minutes after viewing the video	Score of the quiz examining the understanding of the contents of the video by the participants. Scoring was a likert scale of 1-5 where 5 represented easy to understand and 1 was very difficult to understand. Separate questions scored as a 1 or 0 where 1 equated to answering the knowledge question correctly and 0 was answering the question incorrectly.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Knowledge Score immediately prior to the viewing of a video presenting the knowledge	10 minutes before viewing the video	Score of the quiz examining the participants' understanding prior to watching the video. Scoring was a likert scale of 1-5 where 5 represented easy to understand and 1 was very difficult to understand. Separate questions scored as a 1 or 0 where 1 equated to answering the knowledge question correctly and 0 was answering the question incorrectly.
