About this study

Official title: Effects of an Educational Audiovisual Videodisc on Patients' Pre-operative Expectations With Total Knee Replacement: a Randomized Study

Information provided to patients modifies their expectations with surgery. The effects of preoperative audiovisual information on expectations with total knee replacement (TKR) have not been investigated. The purposes of this study were to investigate the effectiveness of an educational videodisc on the modification of pre-operative patients' expectations with TKR and to find a biophysical profile of subjects in whom this videodisc could be most effective. It was hypothesized that patients receiving standard information plus additional medical information through audiovisual videodiscs would modify their pre-operative expectations more than those only receiving the standard information through medical interviews.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Educational audiovisual videodisc and medical verbal informationBehavioural

    General and specific medical verbal information and ten-minute DVD where the process from admission to the surgical intervention, recovery room, immediate postoperative care, and outpatient care at two, six, and twelve months after surgery was shown. The video included experiences of patients with respect to pain and function and examples of functionality during daily life activities such as stairs, kneeling or squatting. The video also demonstrated the facilities and rehabilitation techniques employed in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Service.

  • Medical verbal informationBehavioural

    General and specific verbal information provided by both the surgeon and a specialized nurse including basics of surgical technique, potential complications, and rehabilitation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from baseline in patient-reported postoperative expectatives about the results of total knee replacement to inmediately after receiving audiovisual plus verbal information (intervention grou) or only verbal information (control group)

    The study measures the patient's expectatives about the improvement of pain, function, and psychological well-being after undergoing total knee replacement. These expectatives are measured through the Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Replacement Expectations Survey (KRES), and a score ranging from 0 to 100 is reported.

    Measured: Baseline and 1 month later (1 month before surgery)

A study testing Educational audiovisual videodisc and medical verbal information and Medical verbal information in people with Total Knee Replacement, run by Parc de Salut Mar at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline in patient-reported postoperative expectatives about the results of total knee replacement to inmediately after receiving audiovisual plus verbal information (intervention grou) or only verbal information (control group) (time frame: Baseline and 1 month later (1 month before surgery)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01463930, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
