Brief Summary

The researchers aim to evaluate the performance of two groups of participants after receiving traditional education-one group supplemented with video-based education and the other without. This study will explore the feasibility of using guideline-based public education videos on postoperative TSH suppression therapy for differentiated thyroid cancer in the context of public education regarding thyroid surgery.

Conditions

Thyroid Cancer; Thyroid Nodule; TSH; Education of Patients

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• TSH Compliance Rate

  The criteria for determining the TSH target achievement rate are based on a combination of three factors: the patient's postoperative recurrence risk stratification, the follow-up time point, and the current TSH test result. Within one year postoperatively, the TSH suppression targets are \< 0.1 mU/L for the high-risk group, 0.1-0.5 mU/L for the moderate-risk group, and 0.1-0.5 mU/L (low Tg) or 0.5-2 mU/L (undetectable Tg, lobectomy) for the low-risk group. In statistical analysis, the TSH target range attainment rate = (number of patients with TSH levels within the target range at each follow-up time point / total number of patients followed up at that time point) × 100%

  Postoperative Month 1, Postoperative Month 3, Postoperative Month 6, and Postoperative Month 12

• Patient satisfaction

  Patient satisfaction following different educational approaches was assessed using a 5-point Likert scale (1-5 scale; the higher the score, the higher the satisfaction).

  Immediately after the educational presentation (post-intervention)

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Level of knowledge dissemination

  Postoperative Month 1, Postoperative Month 3, Postoperative Month 6, and Postoperative Month 12

• Patient anxiety level

  Baseline (before the educational outreach) and immediately after the educational outreach; two assessments total

• Patient's Level of Regret After Surgery

  Baseline (before the educational outreach) and immediately after the educational outreach

• Incidence of adverse events in patients

  Postoperative Month 1, Postoperative Month 3, and Postoperative Month 6
