“…In a test of knowledge about the planned procedure, the group that used the multimedia presentation scored 11.3 points, and the control group scored only 7.9 points. It has also been found that a greater knowledge of the operation does not increase the fear of surgery − 81% of patients reported that the use of the media either did not affect or decreased their level of concern [10]. Similar results have been obtained by Cornoiu et al In a test of knowledge about the planned surgery (arthroscopy), patients who received a multimedia presentation in the consent process gave 98% correct answers.…”

“…Ellett et al reported that 76.1% of patients in the study group chose a medical interview enriched with multimedia presentation as the preferred method of receiving information before laparoscopic treatment of pelvic pain. Only 19.6% of patients indicated that a medical interview was a sufficient means of communication [10]. These kinds of studies are carried out to find better ways of informing patients and thus reduce the number of misunderstandings between doctors and patients.…”

“…In the study conducted by Cornoiu, subjects who had used multimedia in the process of obtaining consent for treatment had a higher level of knowledge in a follow-up examination conducted 6 weeks after the surgery, compared to the other groups [13]. However, Ellett notes that in this group, the decrease in the amount of stored information was higher than in the control group; a study conducted 6 weeks after the surgery showed no statistically significant difference in the level of knowledge about the surgery between the experimental and control groups (the results were 8.4 and 7.8 points, respectively) [10]. …”

Patient informed consent for surgery or for high-risk methods of treatment or diagnosis means that unlawful breach of the patient’s personal interests is avoided and the patient accepts the risk of surgery and takes the brunt of it. Patient awareness – their knowledge of the condition and circumstances of continued therapeutic procedure, including offered and available methods of treatment and their possible complications – constitutes a particular aspect of the informed-consent process.The rapid development of technologies and methods of treatment may cause communication problems between the doctor and the patient regarding the scope and method of patient education prior to surgery. The use of multimedia technology (e.g., videos of surgical procedures, computer animation, and graphics), in addition to media used in preoperative patient education, may be a factor in improving the quality of the informed consent process. Studies conducted in clinical centers show that with use of multimedia technology, patients remember more of the information presented. The use of new technology also makes it possible to reduce the difference in the amount of information assimilated by patients with different levels of education. The use of media is a way to improve the quality of preoperative patient education and, at the same time, a step towards their further empowerment in the healing process.

“…Health care providers may need to expand the time spent counseling their patients appropriately prior to any surgical procedure. This can be done via group information sessions, pamphlets, and brochures that can be made readily available in the office or via information that is displayed on the physician's website or blog [14, 15]. …”

Objective. To investigate patient knowledge and attitudes toward surgical approaches in gynecology. Design. An anonymous Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved questionnaire survey. Patients/Setting. A total of 219 women seeking obstetrical and gynecological care in two offices affiliated with an academic medical center. Results. Thirty-four percent of the participants did not understand the difference between open and laparoscopic surgeries. 56% of the participants knew that laparoscopy is a better surgical approach for patients than open abdominal surgeries, while 37% thought that laparoscopy requires the surgeon to have a higher technical skill. 46% of the participants do not understand the difference between laparoscopic and robotic procedures. 67.5% of the participants did not know that the surgeon moves the robot's arms to perform the surgery. Higher educational level and/or history of previous abdominal surgeries were associated with the highest rates of answering all the questions correctly (p < 0.05), after controlling for age and race. Conclusions. A substantial percentage of patients do not understand the difference between various surgical approaches. Health care providers should not assume that their patients have an adequate understanding of their surgical options and accordingly should educate them about those options so they can make truly informed decisions.

“…These studies have demonstrated that the priming effect did not appear to be a major factor influencing patients' responses to the knowledge questionnaires. 11,24 In the current study we wished to explore the effect of the MEM when used as an adjunct to the usual verbal consent provided by a consultant foot and ankle surgeon in a busy clinical setting. We also aimed to determine patient satisfaction regarding the utility of the MEM when incorporated into the senior authors informed consent process.…”
