Effect of Patient Education Videos on Perioperative Anxiety in Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Chronic rhinosinusitis treatment consists of medical management and surgical intervention. Improving patient education can positively impact perioperative patient experiential outcomes such as anxiety, pain and satisfaction. However, online education materials are often too complex, inaccurate or misleading. The objective of this study was to determine if patient education videos at an appropriate reading level would improve perioperative anxiety in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery.
