Brief Summary

The investigators have created a brief, 3-minute video that discusses the induction of labor process. The aim of this study is to evaluate, via a randomized method, how this educational video impact's patients' knowledge and satisfaction with the induction of labor process. Purpose: Evaluate how an educational video impacts patients' knowledge and satisfaction with the induction of labor process Research questions:

1. 1.Does a brief educational video improve patients' baseline knowledge of the induction of labor process when compared to patients' who receive traditional care?
2. 2.Does a brief educational video improve patients' overall satisfaction with their delivery course when compared to patients' who received the standard care? Hypothesis: Those patients' shown a brief educational video will have a higher baseline knowledge about the induction process and higher satisfaction with their delivery course compared to patients who received the standard in-office counseling.

Conditions

Knowledge; Satisfaction, Patient

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Knowledge of Induction of Labor

  Evaluating if a 3-minute educational video changes patients' baseline knowledge of the induction of labor process when compared to patients' who receive traditional care via a questionnaire.

  3 minute knowledge based questionnaire given to both arms prior to meeting with a provider (midwife or obstetrician).

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Satisfaction with Induction of Labor Process

  3 minute satisfaction questionnaire given to both arms 24 to 48 hours after delivery at a time convenient for them.

Study Arms (2)

Control Arm (Standard of Care)

NO INTERVENTION

The control group took the knowledge-based survey about induction of labor prior to meeting their provider (midwife or obstetrician) on the day of scheduled induction. Twenty-four to forty-eight hours after delivery, at a time convenient to the participant during the postpartum stay at GW, a research team member asked the participant to fill out a second survey, focused on satisfaction with the labor and delivery process.

Intervention Arm (Educational video)

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention group had the opportunity to watch the 3-minute educational video. The video shown to these participants is linked here: https://youtu.be/Pc9tcIV4Dm8. After watching the video, the participant was asked to take the knowledge-based survey. Twenty-four to forty-eight hours after delivery, at a time convenient to the participant during the postpartum stay at GW, a research team member asked the participant to fill out a second survey, focused on satisfaction.

Behavioral: Educational Video

Interventions

Educational Video BEHAVIORAL

Those in the intervention arm were asked to watch the 3-minute educational video prior to the knowledge questionnaire and meeting their provider (midwife or obstetrician). The video shown to these participants is linked here: https://youtu.be/Pc9tcIV4Dm8.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: QUADRUPLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT, CARE PROVIDER, INVESTIGATOR, OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: The research member enrolling the patient in the study, the participant, and the person collecting the questionnaires were all blind to what arm of the study the participant would be placed into (control vs intervention with video group). A computer-generated allocation sequence to determine randomization. Randomization assignments were placed in sealed, opaque envelopes that were opened sequentially after verbal and signed consent was obtained for the study. The research team members who collected the outcome data (example, parity, delivery method, etc) was also blind to which arm the participant was assigned too.
• Purpose: OTHER
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: SPONSOR

Model Details: Participants were either enrolled in the control arm (no intervention) or the intervention group (3-minute educational video intervention)
