Comparing the impact of educational video and verbal consent on patients undergoing rhinologic surgery, it was found that both groups showed significant improvements in knowledge gain and alleviation of concerns, with equivalent outcomes. There were no significant differences in time taken for consent, patient satisfaction, and decision regret between the two groups.
Background Informed consent is an integral part of pre-operative counseling. However, information discussed can be variable. Recent studies have explored the use of multimedia in providing informed consent for rhinologic surgery. Objective To measure impact of an educational video (Video) compared to verbal informed consent (Verbal) on knowledge gained, alleviation of concerns, and efficiency. Methods Patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), septoplasty, or ESS+septoplasty were prospectively enrolled and randomized to receive Video or Verbal consent. The Video group watched an educational video; the Verbal group received standard verbal consent from an Otolaryngology resident per institutional protocol. Both groups had the opportunity to discuss questions or concerns with their attending surgeon. Prior to, and after, consent was signed, both groups completed surveys regarding knowledge of purpose, risks, and benefits of surgery as well as surgical concerns. Decision regret and patient satisfaction were also assessed post-operatively. Results 77 patients were enrolled (39 Video, 38 Verbal). Demographics were not significantly different between groups. Overall knowledge significantly improved (p < 0.005) and concerns significantly decreased (p < 0.001) following consent in both groups. Improvements in these metrics were equivalent between groups (p < 0.02). Furthermore, resident time to complete consent, patient satisfaction, and decision regret were not significantly different between groups. Conclusion Use of an educational video was equivalent to standard verbal informed consent for patients undergoing rhinologic surgery. Otolaryngologists can consider developing procedure-specific videos to allow allocation of time to other tasks, standardized education of patients, and streamlining of the informed consent process.
