About this study

Official title: Does Multimedia Perioperative Teaching Improve Patient Experience in the Treatment of Endometrial Cancer

This is an interventional trial to introduce two short animated videos into preoperative counseling/consent and to compare patient comprehension and satisfaction with a multimedia approach compared to standard of care currently. The investigators anticipate that patients will retain more information about their surgery and peri-operative care and will be more satisfied with a multimedia approach.

Read the detailed description

The investigators plan a pilot study where patients will be randomized to receiving standard consent and teaching prior to their planned surgery for endometrial cancer or standard consent and multimedia video aid with targeted teaching. This video will be an adjunct to the standard consent process and supplement the pre and post-operative teaching that is currently not formalized. The primary outcome is patient satisfaction. The secondary outcomes include patient understanding and physician satisfaction. The investigators hypothesize that patients will be more satisfied when their consent for surgery is done in conjunction with this multimedia aid.

What participants receive

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

  • VideoOther

    Two short animated videos - one that reviews minimally-invasive surgery and sentinel lymph node mapping and biopsy for endometrial cancer treatment. This video as reviews possible complications. The second video reviews peri-operative instructions.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ControlNo interventionPatients in the control arm will have pre-operative teaching from their physician and sign consent for surgery, as is the current standard of care at the investigators' institution.
Video armExperimentalPatients in the intervention arm will watch two short animated video about minimally-invasive endometrial cancer surgery followed by focused pre-operative teaching from their physician. They will then sign consent for surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient satisfaction

    Patient satisfaction with the clinic visit (either new patient visit where they are consented for surgery or a pre-operative visit). Patient satisfaction will be measured using two survey tools: a single question to assess global satisfaction with the clinic visit (on a scale from 1-10) and an 8 question validated satisfaction survey (Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 or CSQ-8). Patient satisfaction will be compared between the control and intervention groups. For the single question satisfaction question, answers are on a scale from 1-10, the higher numbers indicating higher satisfaction. The CSQ8 survey contains 8 questions that all have answers ranging from 1 to 4, with higher numbers indicating higher satisfaction.

    Measured: 1 day (assessed at first visit)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Patient comprehension

    Patient comprehension (of the surgery, its complication, and peri-operative instructions) will be measured using a 9 question survey developed by the study investigators. This survey was developed to assess patient understanding on key information reviewed either in the study videos or by physicians during pre-operative counseling. Patient comprehension will be assessed at three different time points (using the same survey) to compare comprehension immediately after watching the video or undergoing standard physician counseling and again during the patient's hospital stay and at the follow-up visit. Comprehension scores will be compared between the control and intervention groups. The comprehension surveys questions will all be awarded points for correct answers, with higher answers indicating more comprehension of topics relating to the surgery.

    Measured: 6-8 weeks (assessed at 3 time points - first clinic visit, inpatient at time of surgery, and at follow-up visit 4-6 weeks after surgery)

  2. Physician satisfaction

    Physician satisfaction with new patient or pre-operative visit. Physician satisfaction will be measured using a single question to assess global satisfaction with the clinic visit (on a scale from 1-10, with higher numbers indicating higher satisfaction).

    Measured: 1 day (assessed at first visit)

  3. Visit length

    Time of new patient or pre-operative visit. The length of visits will be recorded (from the time the physician first enters the patient room until the visit is complete and the patient is leaving the clinic room). Appointment times will be compared between the control and intervention group, for pre-operative visits and new patient visits.

    Measured: 1 day (assessed during first visit)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Video in people with Endometrium Cancer and Sentinel Lymph Node, run by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Patient satisfaction (time frame: 1 day (assessed at first visit)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Aug 2020.
