About this study
Official title: The Effect of Personalized Custom Training Videos on Patient Engagement in Hospitalized Patients Undergoing Thoracocentesis
Patients planned to undergo a pleural tap will get verbal explanation or watch a personalized guidance video in addition to verbal explanation. Questionnaires will be filled to assess the effect of the video training on understanding, cooperation and anxiety.
Read the detailed description
100 patients with pleural effusion, planned to undergo a diagnostic or therapeutic pleural tap, will be randomized to watch a personalized custom video training, explaining the procedure, in addition to the verbal explanation given by the medical staff, or to get the standard verbal explanation alone. Questionnaires regarding their understanding of the procedure, their feelings and the level of anxiety will be filled before and after the video/verbal explanation, and after the procedure. the study aims to check whether the video training provides better understanding of the procedure, increases cooperation and engagement and decreases anxiety.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Personalized training videoOther
Using a few demographic and medical details of the patients, provided by the medical staff, the video generator will create a 2-minute personalized custom video, suitable to the age, gender, language, and medical condition of the patients. No identifying information will be used, to protect patient's privacy.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Training video arm | Experimental | Patients will watch a personalized custom training video, in addition to the standard explanation provided by the medical staff Receives: Other: Personalized training video |
| Verbal explanation arm | No intervention | Patients will standard explanation about the procedure, provided by the medical staff |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Fulfillment of need for information gap
Improvement of subjective self-assessment of the patient's need of information on the tap procedure following the explanation received, based on the short form of the Quality from Patient Perspective (QPP) measurement. The improvement in the intervention arm will be compared to the one of the control arm
Measured: 30 minutes
Assessment of Anxiety
Delta of subjective self-assessment on his/her anxiety about the procedure, following the explanation received (using visual scale of 1-100, based on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)). The reduction of anxiety in the intervention arm will be compared to the one of the control arm
Measured: 30 minutes
Secondary outcomes (2)
The need of an active role
The patients will be asked to score whether the explanation allowed them the active role they needed, based on the Picker Patient Experience (PPE-15) Questionnaire. The score in the intervention arm will be compared to the one of the control arm
Measured: 30 Minutes
Confidence and Knowledge to take actions
The patient would be asked to score whether the information they received allowed them to understand what they should do next, based on the Patient Activation Measure (PAM) Questionnaire. The score in the intervention arm will be compared to the one of the control arm
Measured: 30 minutes
