Tokyo, April 20 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000061312) titled 'A Study on the Implementation of Educational Videos for Patients with Abdominal Emergency Conditions' on April 20.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Parallel Randomization - Non-randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Active

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Gifu Seino Medical Center, Seino Kousei Hospital

Condition: Condition - Abdominal Emergency Conditions Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - In acute abdominal emergencies, surgical procedures and disease explanations must be provided within a limited timeframe, which can lead to variability in patient and family understanding. The pathophysiology, treatment, and potential complications of these conditions are complex, making standardization of explanations a challenge. In recent years, the use of video-based educational tools has been expected to enhance patient understanding, and evidence in the field of general surgery has demonstrated a significant improvement in comprehension with such interventions. However, clinical implementation data in the context of abdominal emergency care remain limited. This study aims to evaluate the usefulness of institutionally developed educational videos for patients. Specifically, we will investigate the impact of introducing preoperative educational videos on patient understanding, satisfaction with explanations, and physician explanation time. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Intervention group: Patients will view an institutionally developed educational video explaining the disease, treatment, and potential complications immediately before receiving the standard verbal explanation from the attending physician. Interventions/Control_2 - Control group: Patients will receive the standard verbal explanation regarding the disease, treatment, and potential complications from the attending physician alone.
