March 8, 2026 updated by: Ali Genc, Tokat Gaziosmanpasa University

The Effect of Preoperative Artificial Intelligence-Based Video Education on Anxiety and Anesthesia Preference in Patients Scheduled for Arthroscopic Lower Extremity Surgery

This prospective single-group study aims to evaluate the effect of preoperative artificial intelligence-based video education on anxiety, anesthesia preference, satisfaction, and knowledge level in patients undergoing arthroscopic lower extremity surgery.

Study Overview

Status

Enrolling by invitation

Detailed Description

Participants' demographic characteristics (age, gender, occupation, education level, income, marital status) will be recorded.

All patients will complete the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I) before and after watching an AI-generated preoperative information video that explains anesthesia options and the perioperative process.

Their anesthesia preference, satisfaction, and knowledge level will also be assessed before and after the video.

The study aims to determine whether AI-based video education can reduce preoperative anxiety, alter anesthesia preference, and improve patient satisfaction and understanding.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
The effect of AI-based video education on preoperative anxiety and anesthesia preference
Patients will watch an artificial intelligence-based preoperative video explaining anesthesia options and perioperative care. The Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory, satisfaction scale, and knowledge questionnaire will be applied before and after the video education. The impact of artificial intelligence-based video training on anesthesia preference will be evaluated.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in anesthesia preference
Time Frame: Baseline (before the AI-assisted video information) and immediately after the AI-assisted video information, within the preoperative assessment period.
The impact of artificial intelligence-based video training on anesthesia preference will be evaluated.
Baseline (before the AI-assisted video information) and immediately after the AI-assisted video information, within the preoperative assessment period.
Change in Preoperative Anxiety Score (STAI-I)
Time Frame: Baseline (before the AI-assisted video information) and immediately after the AI-assisted video information, within the preoperative assessment period
To evaluate whether AI-based video education reduces preoperative anxiety. The State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I) is a validated self-report instrument consisting of 20 items assessing situational anxiety. Scores range from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety. A higher score reflects a worse outcome.
