High-quality preoperative patient education is crucial for enhancing comprehension and reducing anxiety. However, anesthesiologists often face time constraints that limit the depth of preoperative consultations. To address this challenge, we implemented a tablet-based preanesthetic explanatory video preview system, allowing patients to view tailored video clips prior to their consultation. This study aimed to evaluate the system's impact on patient acceptance and the workload of anesthesiologists.
A questionnaire-based survey was conducted at our outpatient clinic between October 27 and November 20, 2023. A total of 121 patients and 20 anesthesiologists participated. Patients completed a three-point scale questionnaire assessing the video's clarity, relevance, and overall satisfaction. Anesthesiologists provided feedback on the efficiency of consultations and workload.
Ninety-five percent of patients found the video "easy to understand," and 96% expressed overall satisfaction. Thirteen out of 14 anesthesiologists reported that the video improved patient understanding and reduced consultation time, with an average time savings of 3.9 ± 3.2 min per patient. None reported an increase in workload.
The preanesthetic video preview system improved patient comprehension and satisfaction while enhancing consultation efficiency. Standardizing preoperative education through video may optimize clinical workflow and reduce the burden on anesthesiologists. Further research is warranted to assess its applicability across diverse patient populations and surgical settings.
高质量的术前患者教育对于增强理解和减轻焦虑至关重要。然而,麻醉医生常常面临时间限制,这限制了术前咨询的深度。为应对这一挑战,我们实施了一个基于平板电脑的麻醉前解释性视频预览系统,使患者能够在咨询前观看量身定制的视频片段。本研究旨在评估该系统对患者接受度和麻醉医生工作量的影响。
2023年10月27日至11月20日在我们的门诊进行了一项基于问卷的调查。共有121名患者和20名麻醉医生参与。患者完成了一份三分制问卷,评估视频的清晰度、相关性和总体满意度。麻醉医生提供了关于咨询效率和工作量的反馈。
95%的患者认为视频“易于理解”,96%表示总体满意。14名麻醉医生中有13名报告称该视频提高了患者的理解并减少了咨询时间,每位患者平均节省时间3.9±3.2分钟。无人报告工作量增加。
麻醉前视频预览系统提高了患者的理解和满意度,同时提高了咨询效率。通过视频标准化术前教育可能优化临床工作流程并减轻麻醉医生的负担。有必要进一步研究以评估其在不同患者群体和手术环境中的适用性。
