The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of video-based multimedia information before amniocentesis on pain, anxiety and pregnancy outcomes
Amniocentesis is the most commonly used invasive prenatal diagnostic test. This study aimed to investigate the effect of video-based multimedia information (MMI) on the anxiety and pain levels of patients undergoing amniocentesis. All consecutive women aged 18-45 years scheduled for amniocentesis were included in this prospective randomized controlled study. Subjects were assigned to receive video-based MMI or traditional written information (controls). Anxiety levels were assessed at the first admission using the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S). After MMI and written information, STAI-S was repeated before the procedure. A standard amniocentesis procedure was performed on all patients by the same perinatology physicians. After amniocentesis, a Likert scale was used to evaluate the ease of the procedure and patient satisfaction, and a visual analog scale was used to evaluate pain. Pregnancy results and amniocentesis results were noted

To assess the effect of video based information on pain levels
Subjects were assigned to receive video-based MMI or traditional written information (controls). A standard amniocentesis procedure was performed on all patients by the same perinatology physicians. After amniocentesis a visual analog scale was used to evaluate pain.

To assess the effect of video based information on pregnancy outcome
Subjects were assigned to receive video-based MMI or traditional written information (controls).The birth outcomes were compared between the two groups in terms of live birth, termination of pregnancy, and intrauterine death.
