Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effects of QR code-based video-supported anesthesia information on preoperative anxiety, comprehensibility of information, and patient satisfaction in adult patients undergoing elective surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either a control group receiving standard written informed consent and routine verbal anesthesia information or an intervention group receiving the same standard information plus a standardized video-based educational intervention accessed through a QR code. The primary outcome is the change in the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) anxiety score before and after the information process. Secondary outcomes include comprehensibility of information and patient satisfaction assessed using a structured Likert-type questionnaire. The findings may contribute to the standardization of patient information processes in anesthesia outpatient clinics through a low-cost and easily implementable digital educational approach.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in APAIS Anxiety Score

  Change in the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) anxiety subscale score from before the information process (T1) to after completion of the information process (T2).

  Immediately before and immediately after completion of the information process (same study visit)

  Immediately after completion of the information process

Study Arms (2)

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Participants receive standard written informed consent and routine verbal anesthesia information according to routine clinical practice.

QR Video Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants receive standard written informed consent and routine verbal anesthesia information plus a standardized QR code-based video-supported anesthesia education program.

Behavioral: QR Code-Based Video-Supported Anesthesia Information

Interventions

QR Code-Based Video-Supported Anesthesia Information BEHAVIORAL

Participants receive standard written informed consent and routine verbal anesthesia information plus a standardized QR code-based video-supported educational intervention. The video includes information regarding anesthesia types, fasting requirements, perioperative preparation, potential complications, common side effects, patient rights, and informed consent.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: NONE
• Masking Details: This is an open-label study. Participants and investigators are aware of group assignment because the intervention consists of a visible QR code-based video education program in addition to standard anesthesia information.
• Purpose: OTHER
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: SPONSOR

Model Details: Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either a control group receiving standard written informed consent and routine verbal anesthesia information or an intervention group receiving standard information plus QR code-based video-supported anesthesia education.
