Preprocedural Video Education for Bronchoscopy Anxiety

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether preprocedural video education can reduce anxiety in adult patients who are scheduled to undergo bronchoscopy under general anesthesia. It will compare video-based education with standard verbal education.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does video education reduce preprocedural anxiety, as measured by the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS), in patients undergoing bronchoscopy under general anesthesia?

Researchers will compare patients who receive audiovisual education with those who receive standard verbal education to see whether video education provides greater anxiety reduction before bronchoscopy under general anesthesia.

Participants will:

1. Complete an APAIS questionnaire before receiving preprocedural education 2. Receive either video-based education using a tablet or standard verbal education with a question-and-answer session 3. Complete another APAIS questionnaire immediately after the education session

Treatment and study plan

Verbal + Audiovisual educational video

Behavioral

Participants received standard preprocedural verbal education and a question-and-answer session delivered by the anesthesiologist. In addition, participants watched an audiovisual educational video about bronchoscopy under general anesthesia on a tablet. The video was designed to provide consistent information about the procedure and anesthesia process, improve patient understanding, and reduce preprocedural anxiety. The APAIS questionnaire was completed before and immediately after the education session.

Verbal only

Behavioral

Participants received standard preprocedural education through verbal explanation and a question-and-answer session delivered by the anesthesiologist. The education was based on the standard anesthesia education materials used at RSUP Persahabatan and provided information about bronchoscopy under general anesthesia. The APAIS questionnaire was completed before and immediately after the verbal education session.

Primary outcomes

Pre-education total APAIS score

Time frame: single time point immediately before education

The pre-education total APAIS score was assessed before any educational intervention was delivered, using the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS). The APAIS consists of six items scored on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 ("not at all") to 5 ("extremely"), with higher total scores indicating greater preprocedural anxiety and information need.
Post-education total APAIS score

Time frame: single time point immediately after education

The pre-education total APAIS score was assessed before any educational intervention was delivered, using the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS). The APAIS consists of six items scored on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 ("not at all") to 5 ("extremely"), with higher total scores indicating greater preprocedural anxiety and information need.
