The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of video-based education provided to parents of children undergoing urodynamic testing on their State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and satisfaction levels. While some of the parents of children scheduled for urodynamic testing were shown a video, others were not. Anxiety and satisfaction levels were assessed in both groups before and after the procedure.
This study was conducted at Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital between July 2023 and January 2024 to evaluate the effect of video-based education provided to parents of children undergoing urodynamic testing on their anxiety and satisfaction levels. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups. In the control group, parents received information about the urodynamic procedure from the nurses performing the test. In the intervention group, in addition to receiving information, the parents were shown a video explaining the urodynamic procedure. All questions from the participants were answered by the nurse conducting the urodynamic procedure. A total of 140 patients were planned to be included in the study, with 70 in each group. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used to assess anxiety levels, and a verbal descriptive scale was used to evaluate satisfaction with the procedure.

Parents' anxiety levels before the education
Anxiety levels before the procedure will be assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, which consists of 20 questions. Each question is scored from 1 to 4. A total score below 30 indicates low anxiety, a score between 31 and 45 indicates moderate anxiety, and a score of 46 or above indicates high anxiety. The urodynamic procedure will be performed according to routine clinical practice. High scores indicate high anxiety, while low scores indicate low anxiety.
