Brief Summary

The objective of this randomized prospective study is to evaluate whether viewing an educational video before urodynamic testing reduces anxiety among women undergoing evaluation for pelvic floor or urinary symptoms. The primary research question is: Does viewing a short educational video before urodynamic testing reduce objective and subjective anxiety levels and improve the overall testing experience? Participants scheduled to undergo urodynamic testing as part of routine clinical care will be randomly assigned to either an educational video intervention or standard pre-procedure counseling alone. Participants will complete brief questionnaires, provide saliva samples for cortisol measurement as an objective biomarker of stress, and report anxiety and pain levels before, during, and after urodynamic testing.

Conditions

Urinary Incontinence; Urinary Bladder Overactive; Urinary Incontinence , Stress

Keywords

Urinary Incontinence, Urodymanics; Video; Stress; Cortisol

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Anxiety represented by cortisol levels

  Comparison between levels of salivary cortisol concentrations before and at the end of the urodynamics test, between the two groups. Cortisol level in nmol/L . the higher difference show increase in stress level

  through study completion, an average of 1 hour

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Heart rate and subjective questionnaires

  through study completion, an average of 1 hour

Study Arms (2)

Study group- video

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in the intervention arm will watch a short educational video explaining the purpose, steps, and sensations expected during urodynamic testing. They will then undergo the standard urodynamic procedure. Anxiety will be assessed using questionnaires and saliva cortisol samples before, during, and after the test, along with self-reported pain and discomfort levels.Video before urodynamics; anxiety measured by surveys and cortisol.

Other: video

Control group- No video

NO INTERVENTION

Participants in the control arm will receive the standard verbal explanation routinely provided before urodynamic testing, without viewing the educational video. They will then undergo the same assessments as the intervention group, including questionnaires, saliva cortisol collection, and self-reported measures of anxiety, pain, and discomfort at the same time points.

Interventions

A short video explaining the urodynamics test.
