PULSE - Patient Understanding and Learning Through Structured Education - Effectiveness and Implementation of Patient Education Videos in a New Pediatric Cardiology Clinic: A Stepped Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial (PULSE)

12. maj 2026 opdateret af: Sannya Hede, MD, Driscoll Children's Hospital

This study is looking at whether short educational videos shown during pediatric cardiology visits can help families better understand their child's condition while also making clinic visits run more efficiently. Families coming to a pediatric cardiology clinic may watch short videos related to why they are there (for example: chest pain, heart murmurs, fainting, sports clearance, or Kawasaki disease). The videos are meant to explain common heart-related conditions and answer questions before the doctor comes into the room.

Researchers want to see if this:

  • helps parents and patients learn more,
  • improves satisfaction with the visit,
  • helps families feel more involved in decisions,
  • and reduces the amount of time doctors spend repeating the same explanations.

How the study works:

One clinic site in San Antonio, TX will start using the videos at different times. Researchers will compare clinic visits before and after the videos are introduced.

Who is included:

Children being seen in pediatric cardiology clinics and their caregivers. Pregnant women referred for fetal heart evaluations may also be included.

What information is collected:

Clinic timing information (such as wait times and doctor visit length), Satisfaction surveys, Optional knowledge questionnaires, Basic medical record information needed for the study.

Risk level: The study is considered "minimal risk." Patients are still getting normal medical care. No drugs, devices, or experimental treatments are being tested.

Privacy protections: Data will be stored on secure hospital systems. Researchers plan to remove identifying information when analyzing results. Medical record numbers are only temporarily used to connect survey data with clinic data.

Why the study matters:

The clinic hopes the videos can make visits less stressful, improve understanding for families, and help doctors spend more time on personalized care instead of repeating the same explanations over and over. It may also help clinics work more efficiently and reduce delays.

Studieoversigt

Detaljeret beskrivelse

Patient education is a cornerstone of high-quality pediatric care, yet time constraints limit physicians' ability to provide comprehensive condition-specific education during clinic visits. Educational videos offer a scalable solution to enhance patient/family understanding while potentially improving clinic efficiency.

This study evaluates the effectiveness and implementation of educational videos in a newly established pediatric cardiology clinic using a stepped wedge design. The stepped wedge design is appropriate because:

  • Operational feasibility: Videos will be implemented sequentially during clinic ramp-up, making simultaneous implementation impractical
  • Ethical considerations: All patients eventually receive the intervention
  • Statistical efficiency: The design accounts for temporal trends during clinic maturation
  • Implementation science: Allows evaluation of both effectiveness and implementation outcomes
