Video Assisted Informed Consent Process on Level of Satisfaction and Cognition among Patients Undergoing Invasive Therapeutic / Diagnostic Cardiac Procedure
Background: The heart is a vital muscular organ in humans which pumps blood through the body's arteries and veins and the center of body’s circulatory system. Healthy arteries enable your body to respond well to periods of stress and changes in your blood pressure. If arteries become narrow or blocked (coronary artery disease, or CAD), heart attack or stroke may occur. People with cardiovascular disease or who are at high cardiovascular risk need early detection and management using counseling and medicines, as appropriate Achieving informed consent for therapeutic /diagnostic procedures is a core clinical procedure. In addition to routine consent process patients are invited to watch the video of the therapeutic/diagnostic procedure to gain knowledge of perspective what is involved and assessed its impact on patient satisfaction.
Materials and Methods: True experiments (post test only design) was used for this study and sample size is 80, with 40 each in experimental and control groups. The cardiology patients were selected from MGMC and RI, puducherry by using simple randomized sampling technique. The data were collected by using structured questionnaire and standardized patient satisfactory tool. The questionnaire consists of multiple choice questions. The period of data collection was around two weeks. For control set of questions were given and ask them to answer the questions. For control group, video was shown related to invasive therapeutic/diagnostic procedures, after a set questions were given and ask them to answer the questions.
Aim: The main aim of the current study was to assess the effectiveness of the patient level of satisfaction and cognition regarding informed consent by routine method and video assisted method for invasive therapeutic/diagnostic procedures and also to compare effectiveness of routine method Vs video assisted method on level of satisfaction and cognition for informed consent among patient undergoing invasive therapeutic/diagnostic procedures.
Results: The post test score on level of knowledge among patients undergoing invasivetherapeutic/diagnostic procedure after video assisted method revealed that 40 had adequate knowledge in experimental group. The post test score on levelof satisfaction among patient undergoing invasive therapeutic/diagnostic procedure after vide assisted method revealedthat 40 were fully satisfied in experimental group.
