Summary

This study tests whether watching a short educational video before surgery can lower anxiety in adults having elective procedures. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the video via a QR code they scan on their own phone, via a tablet provided in the waiting area, or to receive standard information only. Anxiety is measured using a standard questionnaire just before surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
preoperative educational video delivered via QR code or tablet
What this could lead to
If effective, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help patients feel calmer before surgery without extra medication or staff time.
What could go wrong
The study is relatively small and measures only short-term anxiety; results may not apply to all surgical settings or patient groups.
