“…The MyStay Cardiac multimedia program combines text, audio, video, and 3D animations to deliver information to patients and their families to enhance their understanding of, and participation in, postoperative care, meeting recovery goals, and discharge planning [ 17 ]. The web-based platform allows patients to access MyStay both prior to and following their surgery.…”

“…Several studies have shown that patients learn and retain information better when they are provided with both visual and verbal information presented together [ 15 , 16 ]. A major strength of using multimedia resources is the consistency of messaging and the fact that patients can access the resources at their convenience, which aids in the recall and retention of key information [ 14 , 17 ]. This is particularly important in the early stages of acute recovery when patients are busy with procedures and treatments that affect cognition.…”

“…This is particularly important in the early stages of acute recovery when patients are busy with procedures and treatments that affect cognition. Having a resource for patients that is available when they have the opportunity, is easy to use, can be delivered when the patient is ready, and may help mitigate inequalities related to reading ability, viz, text-only patient education, are also important considerations [ 12 , 17 ].…”

“…The program can be accessed by patients independently or with the assistance of nurses in the ICU, coronary care unit and cardiac ward to monitor their pain intensity score and mobility improvement while in hospital, recovering from cardiac surgery. The aim of the MyStay Cardiac program is to support the recovery of patients being admitted for cardiac surgery in the pre- and postoperative phases [ 17 ].…”

Background Multimedia interventions may play an important role in improving patient care and reducing the time constraints of patient-clinician encounters. The “MyStay Cardiac” multimedia resource is an innovative program designed to be accessed by adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the uptake of the MyStay Cardiac both during and following the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A prospective observational study design was used that involved the evaluation of program usage data available from the digital interface of the multimedia program. Data on usage patterns were analyzed for a 30-month period between August 2020 and January 2023. Usage patterns were compared during and following the lifting of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Uptake of the MyStay Cardiac was measured via the type and extent of user activity data captured by the web-based information system. Results Intensive care unit recovery information was the most accessed information, being viewed in approximately 7 of 10 usage sessions. Ward recovery (n=124/343, 36.2%), goal (n=114/343, 33.2%), and exercise (n=102/343, 29.7%) information were routinely accessed. Most sessions involved users exclusively viewing text-based information (n=210/343, 61.2%). However, in over one-third of sessions (n=132/342, 38.5%), users accessed video information. Most usage sessions occurred during the COVID-19 restriction phase of the study (August 2020-December 2021). Sessions in which video (P=.02, phi=0.124) and audio (P=.006, phi=0.161) media were accessed were significantly more likely to occur in the restriction phase compared to the postrestriction phase. Conclusions This study found that the use of digital multimedia resources to support patient education was well received and integrated into their practice by cardiac nurses working in acute care during the COVID-19 pandemic. There was a pattern for greater usage of the MyStay Cardiac during the COVID-19 pandemic when access to the health service for nonfrontline, essential workers was limited.

Uptake of the MyStay Cardiac was measured via the type and extent of user activity data captured by the online information system. RESULTS ICU recovery information was the most accessed information, being viewed in approximately seven-in-ten usage sessions. Ward recovery (36.2%), goal (33.2%) and exercise (29.7%) information were routinely accessed. Most sessions involved users exclusively viewing text-based information (n = 210, 65.6%). However, in over a third of sessions (38.5%), users accessed video information. Most usage sessions occurred during the COVID-19 restriction phase of the study (Aug 2020 – Dec 2021). Sessions in which video (p < .05, phi = .124) and audio (p < .01, phi = .161) media were accessed were significantly more likely to occur in the restriction phase, compared to the post-restriction phase. CONCLUSIONS This study found that the use of digital multimedia resources to support patient education was well received and integrated into their practice by cardiac nurses working in acute care during the COVID-19 pandemic. There was a pattern for greater usage of the MyStay Cardiac during the COVID-19 pandemic when access to the health service for non-frontline, essential workers was limited.
