The Effect of Video Education on Anesthesia Choice

The Effect of Preoperative Artificial Intelligence-Based Video Education on Anxiety and Anesthesia Preference in Patients Scheduled for Arthroscopic Lower Extremity Surgery

This prospective single-group study aims to evaluate the effect of preoperative artificial intelligence-based video education on anxiety, anesthesia preference, satisfaction, and knowledge level in patients undergoing arthroscopic lower extremity surgery.

Participants' demographic characteristics (age, gender, occupation, education level, income, marital status) will be recorded.

All patients will complete the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I) before and after watching an AI-generated preoperative information video that explains anesthesia options and the perioperative process.

Their anesthesia preference, satisfaction, and knowledge level will also be assessed before and after the video.

The study aims to determine whether AI-based video education can reduce preoperative anxiety, alter anesthesia preference, and improve patient satisfaction and understanding.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Scheduled for elective arthroscopic lower extremity surgery

• Voluntarily agrees to participate and provides written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

• Mentally unable to provide valid responses
• Communication barriers or severe visual impairment
