Video-Based Preoperative Education in Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation (VPE-LTL)

Video-Based Preoperative Education Versus Traditional Verbal Counseling for Anxiety, Pain, and Patient Satisfaction in Women Undergoing Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation: A Quasi-Experimental Study

This quasi-experimental study aimed to compare video-based preoperative education with traditional verbal counseling in terms of anxiety, postoperative pain, and patient satisfaction among women scheduled for laparoscopic tubal ligation. The study was conducted between January and June 2024 and included 80 women. Participants were allocated to either a routine verbal counseling group or a video-based education group, with 40 participants in each group. The video-based education group received preoperative counseling through an animated educational video, whereas the control group received routine verbal counseling. Demographic and obstetric characteristics were recorded. Anxiety levels were assessed using the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, postoperative pain was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale, and patient satisfaction was measured after the procedure. The outcomes of the two groups were compared to evaluate the effect of video-based preoperative education

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Video-Based Preoperative Education Group; Participants in this group received video-based preoperative education before laparoscopic tubal ligation.	Behavioral: Video-Based Preoperative Education; Video-based preoperative education was provided to women before laparoscopic tubal ligation.
Active Comparator: Routine Preoperative Information Group; Participants in this group received routine preoperative information before laparoscopic tubal ligation.	Behavioral: Routine Preoperative Information; Routine preoperative information was provided before laparoscopic tubal ligation as part of standard care.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Mean Postoperative Patient Satisfaction Score on a Single-Item 5-Point Likert Satisfaction Scale	Overall postoperative patient satisfaction was assessed using a single-item 5-point Likert satisfaction scale. Participants selected one response ranging from 1 point ("not satisfied at all") to 5 points ("very satisfied"). The unit of measure is points. Higher scores indicate greater patient satisfaction. The outcome metric is the mean satisfaction score reported for each study arm	Immediately after recovery from anesthesia on the day of surgery
