The preoperative period is a critically important time point in that patients' information needs are high and must be met. Traditional methods of patient education, such as those in the form of pamphlets, may not be the most effective and have been shown to result in low patient comprehension. The aim of this systematic review is to explore the use of preoperative supplementary educational videos.
A literature search using six databases was conducted. A total of 240 original research articles relating to preoperative educational videos were retrieved and screened for eligibility.
18 primary studies were identified and included in the review. Several outcomes were evaluated including knowledge, preparedness, and satisfaction, as well as psychological and physical wellbeing. Findings were varied, with many studies citing significant positive differences in these outcomes when patients viewed an educational video, while others report no differences.
Although findings are slightly mixed, the use of videos to supplement patient education has considerable potential in a preoperative setting. More research is needed to reach definitive conclusions.
We advocate for clinicians to challenge traditional methods of patient education and to consider exploring the possibility of integrating videos into routine preoperative education.
术前阶段是一个非常重要的时间点，因为此时患者的信息需求较高，必须得到满足。传统的患者教育方法，例如以宣传册形式呈现的方法，可能不是最有效的方法，并且已经证明会导致患者理解程度较低。本系统评价旨在探讨术前补充教育视频的使用。
使用六个数据库进行文献检索。共检索到 240 篇与术前教育视频相关的原始研究文章，并对其进行了筛选以确定其是否符合纳入标准。
确定了 18 项初步研究，并将其纳入综述。评估了包括知识、准备情况和满意度在内的几个结果，以及心理和身体的健康状况。研究结果存在差异，许多研究表明，当患者观看教育视频时，这些结果存在显著的积极差异，而其他研究则没有差异。
尽管研究结果略有混杂，但在术前环境中使用视频来补充患者教育具有相当大的潜力。需要进行更多的研究以得出明确的结论。
我们主张临床医生挑战传统的患者教育方法，并考虑探索将视频纳入常规术前教育的可能性。
