“…In contrast, other experimental trials of pretreatment educational videos have failed to demonstrate an effect on self-efficacy, knowledge, distress, or pretreatment worry [6,11,12,15,20]. The variation in findings may be due to methodological issues, such as small sample size, or to differences in the content of the audiovisual resources.…”

The educational DVD was considered highly acceptable by patients and was found to increase self-efficacy and reduce supportive care needs. Hence, it is appropriate to give to patients before face-to-face chemotherapy education. Additional pretreatment education is recommended, particularly for self-perceived palliative patients, to reduce their pretreatment anxiety and enhance their confidence in coping with treatment.

The development of audio-visual materials to prepare patients for medical procedures: an oncology application

et al. 2007

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper describes a systematic process for the development of educational audio-visual materials that are designed to prepare patients for potentially threatening procedures. Literature relating to the preparation of patients for potentially threatening medical procedures, psychological theory, theory of diffusion of innovations and patient information was examined. Four key principles were identified as being important: (1) stakeholder consultation, (2) provision of information to prepare patients for the medical procedure, (3) evidence-based content, and (4) promotion of patient confidence. These principles are described along with an example of the development of an audio-visual resource to prepare patients for chemotherapy treatment. Using this example, practical strategies for the application of each of the principles are described. The principles and strategies described may provide a practical, evidence-based guide to the development of other types of patient audio-visual materials.

“…Some videos developed to prepare people for medical procedures or treatments such as colonoscopy [16], anaesthesia [9] or chemotherapy and radiotherapy [27] have been shown to reduce patient anxiety, while others have shown no difference compared to usual care [10,11]. These mixed findings may be due to differences in the quality of patient education videos tested.…”

Based on a theoretical framework, we developed an audiovisual resource to promote self-management of eight common chemotherapy side-effects. A patient needs analysis identified content domains, best evidence for preparing patients for threatening medical procedures and a systematic review of effective self-care strategies informed script content. Patients and health professionals were invited to complete a written evaluation of the video. A 25-min video was produced. Fifty health professionals and 37 patients completed the evaluation. All considered the video informative and easy to understand. The majority believed the video would reduce anxiety and help patients prepare for chemotherapy. Underpinned by a robust theoretical framework, we have developed an evidence-based resource that is perceived by both patients and health professionals as likely to enhance preparedness for chemotherapy.
