Effect of Patient Education Videos on Perioperative Anxiety in Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Chronic rhinosinusitis treatment consists of medical management and surgical intervention. Improving patient education can positively impact perioperative patient experiential outcomes such as anxiety, pain and satisfaction. However, online education materials are often too complex, inaccurate or misleading. The objective of this study was to determine if patient education videos at an appropriate reading level would improve perioperative anxiety in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Pre-operative Patient Anxiety | Measured with State Trait Anxiety Inventory (range 20-80, higher score shows higher anxiety) | 1 hour preoperatively | 
| Pre-operative Patient Anxiety | Visual Analogue Scale (1-10, higher score means higher anxiety) | 1 hour preoperatively | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Post-operative Anxiety | Measured with State Trait Anxiety Inventory (range 20-80, higher score shows higher anxiety) | 1 week post-operative | 
| Post-operative Anxiety | Visual Analogue Scale (1-10, higher score means higher anxiety) | 1 week post-operative | 
| Post-operative Pain | Measured via Visual Analogue Scale (1-10, higher score means worse pain) | 1 week post-operative | 
| Post-operative Satisfaction | Measured via Visual Analogue Scale (1-10, higher score means better satisfaction) | 1 week post-operative | 
| Post-operative medication adherence | Measured via frequency of nasal irrigation per day | 1 week post-operative |
