研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this research is to look at how educational videos provided by doctors might affect patients knowledge, satisfaction, confidence, and anxiety with post-operative Mohs surgery care. Patients will be randomized to either: 1) a group that receives educational videos in addition to standard-of-care written and verbal instructions or 2) a group that receives only standard-of-care written and verbal instructions.
详细描述
The Primary Objective of this study is to determine if video discharge instructions, when added to standard of care written and verbal instructions, lead to a decrease in unnecessary phone calls from patients in a Mohs dermatology clinic.
The Secondary Objectives of this study are to determine if video discharge instructions, when added to standard of care written and verbal instructions, help to improve patients' satisfaction with education materials provided by the clinic, improve patients' knowledge of post-operative management, improve patients' confidence in taking care of their suture site post-operatively, and reduce post-operative anxiety about their suture site.
This study will be a randomized controlled trial in which the impact of video discharge instructions on patient calls, anxiety, and confidence will be evaluated. Patients will be randomized using a permuted block model generated through SAS.

研究组 & 干预措施
Video Discharge Instructions
These videos contain the same instructions that a patient receives via the standard-of-care verbal and written discharge instructions. These instructions will be delivered by the same nursing and medical staff that also regularly provides verbal and written discharge instructions to patients. There will be no difference in the content between the standard-of-care verbal and written instructions and the video discharge instructions. Patients in this group will receive telecommunication reminders on how to access discharge videos.
干预措施: Video Discharge Instructions (Behavioral)

结局指标
主要结局
Ratio of patients in the intervention group who call the clinic compared to percentage of patients in the control group who call the clinic
时间窗: Up to 8 weeks after discharge
Researchers will record when each participant calls the clinic. The number of people who call in the intervention group will be compared to the number of people who call in the control group. This will give an efficacy measure of the video discharge instructions
次要结局
- Difference in satisfaction in intervention group versus control group(Up to 8 weeks after discharge)
- Difference in self reported anxiety levels in intervention group versus control group(Up to 8 weeks after discharge)
- Difference in knowledge of discharge instructions in intervention group versus control group(Up to 8 weeks after discharge)
- Difference in confidence in intervention group versus control group(Up to 8 weeks after discharge)
