Official Title
Does Multimedia Perioperative Teaching Improve Patient Experience in the Treatment of Endometrial Cancer
Brief Summary
This is an interventional trial to introduce two short animated videos into preoperative
counseling/consent and to compare patient comprehension and satisfaction with a multimedia
approach compared to standard of care currently. The investigators anticipate that patients
will retain more information about their surgery and peri-operative care and will be more
satisfied with a multimedia approach.
Detailed Description
The investigators plan a pilot study where patients will be randomized to receiving standard
consent and teaching prior to their planned surgery for endometrial cancer or standard
consent and multimedia video aid with targeted teaching. This video will be an adjunct to the
standard consent process and supplement the pre and post-operative teaching that is currently
not formalized. The primary outcome is patient satisfaction. The secondary outcomes include
patient understanding and physician satisfaction. The investigators hypothesize that patients
will be more satisfied when their consent for surgery is done in conjunction with this
multimedia aid.
