QR Code Video Education for ICU Family Members (QR-ICU)

18 juli 2026 uppdaterad av: Elazıg Fethi Sekin Sehir Hastanesi

Effect of a QR Code-Based Digital Information Video on Knowledge and Anxiety Among Family Members of Intensive Care Unit Patients: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

This prospective randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of a QR code-based digital information video on knowledge level and anxiety among family members of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a control group receiving routine verbal information or an intervention group receiving routine verbal information plus access to a standardized QR code-based educational video. Knowledge level, anxiety, and satisfaction with information will be assessed at baseline, within 24 hours after the intervention, and 72 hours later. The study will determine whether digital video-based information improves understanding of the ICU environment and reduces anxiety among family members.

Studieöversikt

Detaljerad beskrivning

Family members of patients admitted to intensive care units frequently experience anxiety, uncertainty, and a need for information regarding the patient's condition and ICU procedures. Conventional verbal information may vary depending on time constraints, workload, and communication practices, resulting in inconsistent delivery of information.

This prospective randomized controlled trial will investigate whether a standardized QR code-based digital information video can improve knowledge and reduce anxiety among family members of ICU patients. Eligible first-degree relatives of ICU patients will be randomized into two groups. The control group will receive routine verbal information according to standard clinical practice. The intervention group will receive routine verbal information in addition to access to a QR code-based educational video.

The educational video will provide information regarding the ICU environment, monitoring systems, mechanical ventilation, sedation practices, common procedures, visiting policies, and frequently encountered clinical situations. The video is designed to provide standardized, understandable, and easily accessible information.

The primary outcome will be the total score of the Information Adequacy and Comprehensibility Questionnaire. Secondary outcomes will include anxiety scores measured using the Visual Analog Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A), satisfaction with information, and participant-reported adequacy of answers to their information needs. Assessments will be performed at baseline, within 24 hours after the intervention, and 72 hours after enrollment.

A total of 150 participants will be enrolled. The study is conducted at Elazig Fethi Sekin City Hospital.
