Video-Based Preoperative Education Versus Traditional Verbal Counseling for Anxiety, Pain, and Patient Satisfaction in Women Undergoing Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Video-Based Preoperative Education Versus Traditional Verbal Counseling for Anxiety, Pain, and Patient Satisfaction in Women Undergoing Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation: A Quasi-Experimental Study
This quasi-experimental study aimed to compare video-based preoperative education with traditional verbal counseling in terms of anxiety, postoperative pain, and patient satisfaction among women scheduled for laparoscopic tubal ligation. The study was conducted between January and June 2024 and included 80 women. Participants were allocated to either a routine verbal counseling group or a video-based education group, with 40 participants in each group. The video-based education group received preoperative counseling through an animated educational video, whereas the control group received routine verbal counseling. Demographic and obstetric characteristics were recorded. Anxiety levels were assessed using the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, postoperative pain was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale, and patient satisfaction was measured after the procedure. The outcomes of the two groups were compared to evaluate the effect of video-based preoperative education
