Official title
Effect of Environmental Factors on Patient Anxiety During Urodynamic Study: A Prospective Randomized Trial
Overview
This study is designed to evaluate the effects of environmental modifications, specifically music and lighting conditions, on anxiety in patients undergoing urodynamic study (UDS). Approximately 220 adult participants are planned to be randomly assigned to one of four intervention groups. Anxiety levels before and after the procedure will be assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The study aims to determine the independent and combined effects of music and lighting on patient anxiety during UDS.
Detailed description
Urodynamic study (UDS) is an important diagnostic procedure for evaluating lower urinary tract dysfunction. Because UDS requires urethral and rectal catheterization, many patients experience anxiety before and during the procedure. This study is designed to evaluate whether environmental modifications, including relaxing music and dim lighting, reduce anxiety during UDS.
Approximately 220 adult participants are planned to be enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to one of four groups: standard lighting without music, standard lighting with music, dim lighting without music, and dim lighting with music. Anxiety will be assessed before and after the procedure using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Secondary outcome measures will include heart rate and blood pressure changes. The study will evaluate the independent and combined effects of music and lighting using a 2 × 2 factorial design.
Interventions
- Other Standard Lighting
Standard lighting (500 lux) during the urodynamic study. - Other music
Relaxing instrumental Zen-style music played during the urodynamic study. - Other Dim lighting
Ambient lighting is reduced to approximately 50 lux throughout the urodynamic study to provide a dimly lit examination environment.
Primary outcome measures
- Change in State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) Score [Time frame: Immediately before and immediately after the urodynamic study]
