Summary

This study tested whether a short animated video helps kidney transplant patients and donors understand surgery better and feel less anxious than reading a leaflet. 130 adults were randomly assigned to watch the video or read the leaflet, both in addition to standard verbal counseling. Their knowledge and anxiety were measured right before and after the intervention.
