Objectives
To evaluate whether viewing a locally produced, patient-centered informational video is associated with lower peri-procedural anxiety among patients undergoing coronary catheterization.
Methods
Prospective, single-center, single-arm, self-controlled study. Consecutive weekday-morning patients were enrolled on recruitment days (N = 259). Anxiety was assessed with the Numeric Visual Analog Anxiety Scale (NVAAS, 0–10) at three time points: post-consent/pre-video (T0), immediately post-video/pre-procedure (T1), and post-procedure (T2). The primary analysis used a Friedman test on complete cases (n = 176) with Kendall's W; pairwise contrasts used Wilcoxon signed-rank tests with Holm adjustment, reporting Hodges–Lehmann median paired differences with 95 % CIs. Available-case and subgroup sensitivity analyses were prespecified.
Results
Median baseline anxiety was 5.0 (IQR 3.0–7.9). Anxiety decreased across time (Friedman χ2(2, n = 176) = 167.28, p < 0.0001; Kendall's W = 0.48). Pairwise HL median differences were: T1-T0–1.5 (95 % CI -2.0 to −1.0; p < 0.001), T2-T0–3.5 (−4.0 to −3.0; p < 0.001), and T2-T1–1.5 (−2.0 to −1.0; p < 0.001). Available-case sensitivity analyses yielded consistent effects. Baseline anxiety was higher in females; it also tended to be higher in first-time catheterization patients (p = 0.099).
Conclusion
Viewing a patient-centered video was associated with lower anxiety before coronary catheterization; causality cannot be inferred from this single-arm design.
Innovation
The intervention was produced by the clinical team, filmed in the actual unit, and is publicly available in three languages, offering a scalable, low-cost approach that can be locally adapted. Randomized, multicenter trials are warranted to confirm efficacy and generalizability.
