About this study

Official title: Effect of Animation Video on the Success Rate of Children Swallowing Capsule Endoscopy: a Randomized Controlled Trial

There are a variety of strategies that can be used for education to improve patients' awareness of the electronic capsule endoscopy process at present. The animated images in the animation videos are interesting as the explanations are simple and easy to understand. It is one of the best choices for children's education. A number of studies have shown that animated videos can increase the awareness rate of children's related knowledge, reduce anxiety, improve children's compliance with examinations and operations, and achieve good clinical results. Effective information transmission to children and their family members can increase the children's cognition and may affect the children's compliance with swallowing capsules and the success rate of autonomous swallowing, thereby reducing the time for swallowing capsule endoscopes and increasing capsule endoscopes Complete small bowel examination completion rate. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of animated video education on the success rate of children swallowing capsule endoscopy and analyze the related factors that affect the time for children to swallow capsules autonomously.
