The Effect of Watching Short Videos on Preoperative Anxiety

Completed

• Conditions: Anesthesia; Anxiety

• Registration Number: NCT06602791
• Lead Sponsor: Samsun University

Brief Summary

Preoperative anxiety is a common issue observed in pediatric patients prior to endoscopic procedures, and it can negatively affect the patient's overall experience. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether watching short videos on platforms such as YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or TikTok has an impact on preoperative anxiety levels in pediatric endoscopy patients.

Detailed Description

The study was designed as a prospective randomized trial. Patients aged 6-12 years undergoing endoscopy and/or colonoscopy in the pediatric endoscopy unit will be divided into the video and the control groups. Patients will be taken to the preoperative preparation unit, where those in the video group will watch short videos of their choice on a phone/tablet for 20 minutes under the supervision of their parents. The control group will receive standard preoperative preparation. Anxiety levels will be assessed using the Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS) at six different time points: upon entry to the pre-procedural preparation room (T1), upon exiting the pre-procedural preparation room (T2), in the procedure room (T3), upon entry to the recovery unit (T4), at the 15th minute in the recovery unit (T5), and upon exiting the recovery unit (T6). Additionally, the indication for the procedure (e.g., celiac disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), history of prior endoscopy/colonoscopy, oxygen saturation (SPO2%), heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP) during the procedure, and the duration of monitoring in the recovery unit will also be recorded.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS) scores	1 hour	Anxiety scores assessed and recorded at six distinct time points-namely, entry to the pre-procedural preparation room (T1), exit from the pre-procedural preparation room (T2), in the procedure room (T3), entry to the recovery unit (T4), at the 15th minute in the recovery unit (T5), and exit from the recovery unit (T6)-constitute the primary outcome of the study.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Recovery Time	1 hour	The duration of patient monitoring in the recovery unit post-procedure, as assessed by the Modified Aldrete Score, is designated as the secondary outcome.
