Official title

Exploring the Effect of Visually Immersive Video Education on Cardiothoracic Surgery Patients' Preoperative Anxiety and Postoperative Outcomes

Overview

The purpose of this quasi-experimental study is to examine the effect of visually immersive preoperative education on levels of anxiety and patient outcomes in patients undergoing cardiothoracic (open heart) surgery

Interventions

  • Behavioral Visually Immersive Video
    The patients watch a 5-minute visually immersive education video on what to expect postoperatively on arrival to the cardiovascular intensive care unit (CVICU) followed by the opportunity for discussion/explanation and questions.
  • Behavioral Standard of Care
    The patient receives a basic verbal explanation of what to expect postoperatively on arrival to CVICU followed by the opportunity for questions.

Primary outcome measures

  • Anxiety relief (self-report measure 1 - State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) [Time frame: 30 minutes]
  • Anxiety relief (self-report measure 2 - Visual Analog Scale for Anxiety) [Time frame: 30 minutes]
Secondary outcome measures (7)
  • Anxiety relief (physiological measure 1 - blood pressure) [Time frame: 30 minutes]
  • Anxiety relief (physiological measure 2 - heart rate) [Time frame: 30 minutes]
  • Anxiety relief (physiological measure 3 - respiratory rate) [Time frame: 30 minutes]
  • Postoperative CVICU Outcome 1 - Length of Stay [Time frame: Within 30 days after the patient is discharged from CVICU]
  • Postoperative CVICU Outcome 2 - Intubation Time [Time frame: Within 30 days after the patient is discharged from CVICU]
  • Postoperative CVICU Outcome 3 - Re-intubation [Time frame: Within 30 days after the patient is discharged from CVICU]
  • Postoperative CVICU Outcome 4 - Blood Sugar Regulation [Time frame: Within 30 days after the patient is discharged from CVICU]
