About this study

Patients admitted to the Infectious and Tropical Diseases Department (MIT) undergo a large number of complementary examinations. In view of their specificity, justified by the often lengthy diagnostic process, as well as by the complexity and diversity of the pathologies, the site of infection and the patient's background (adolescents and adults, migrant patients, immunocompromised patients, Human Immunodeficiency Virus, primary immunodeficiencies, organ transplants, patients with haemopathies, marrow transplants, among others). As a matter of practice, the doctor informs the patient of the prescribed examinations, explaining their purpose and procedure, and outlining any benefits and risks.

The intention is to introduce a tool that complements the information usually provided, and that can be of high quality to improve the patient's perception of understanding. To this end, investigators hypothesize that a tool in video format, built in collaboration with the experience of various technical platforms, could make the experience of understanding information more complete and more accessible to all patients.

Treatment and study plan

oral and written information

Other

Legal oral and written information given by physicians concerning additional examinations

Video Information

Other

Explanatory video applied after physician's formal information

Primary outcomes

  1. Score of perceived understanding of information before additional examination

    Time frame: up to 7 days

    Measure the patient's perception of comprehension prior to the examination, using a self-assessment Numerical Scale (NRS) defined from zero (no comprehension) to ten (perfect comprehension). The assessment will be collected by a caregiver who is not in charge of the patient, within a maximum of 24 hours after the carried out examination.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Score of perceived understanding of information after additional examination

    Time frame: up to 7 days

    Measure the patient's perception of comprehension after the examination, using a self-assessment Numerical Scale (NRS) defined from zero (no comprehension) to ten (perfect comprehension).

  2. Failure rate of examinations

    Time frame: up to 7 days

    A failure is defined as an examination not performed and/or an examination that cannot be interpreted. The failure is recorded upon return from the examination via the report provided by the technical platform and certified by the physician

  3. Missing elements

    Time frame: up to 7 days

    Collection of elements identified as missing by the patient during the examination. A questionnaire will completed by the patient at his return, in a maximum of 24 hours

  4. Impact on caregivers' knowledge

    Time frame: 1 day

    using a self-questionnaire
