Voiding Diary Video

Effect of Educational Video on Patient Adherence and Completeness of Intake and Voiding Diaries

The aim of this study is to evaluate patient adherence and completeness of intake and voiding diaries. The secondary goal is to compare the satisfaction and understanding of patients of the intake and voiding trial diaries directions.

This is a randomized prospective study. All women who need to complete an intake and voiding diary at the Yale Urogynecology outpatient facilities will be invited to participate. After completion of the consent process, they will be randomized to one of two groups. Both groups will have their voiding diaries analyzed by three blinded experts and will be graded on completeness of the information filled out. The mean grade obtained from this process and the return rate of the voiding diaries will be the primary outcomes. The secondary outcomes will include a brief patient questionnaire on their satisfaction of the instructions with the voiding diary. The primary and secondary outcomes will be evaluated between the groups to determine the effectiveness of the video intervention.
