Area of Science:

  • Medical Communication
  • Surgical Patient Experience
  • Anxiety Management

Background:

  • Patient expectations regarding communication during informed consent (IC) are complex.
  • Identifying communication strategies that reduce or heighten pre-operative anxiety is essential for improving patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To map and analyze patient expectations for communication during the informed consent process.
  • To identify communication elements that decrease or increase pre-operative anxiety.

Main Methods:

  • A conjoint-based experimental design was employed with 104 post-discharge surgical patients.
  • Mathematical clustering identified distinct patient mindsets regarding communication preferences.
  • Post hoc ANOVA analyzed differences in expectations among identified mindsets.

Main Results:

  • Three verbal communication messages significantly decreased pre-operative anxiety for the total sample.
  • Three distinct patient mindsets emerged, each with unique communication expectations.
  • Mindset 1 (70%) desired tailored information and reassurance against unexpected events.
  • Mindset 2 (13%) sought dialogue about benefits/risks pre-hospitalization.
  • Mindset 3 (17%) experienced heightened anxiety due to perceived lack of information or rushed consent processes.

Conclusions:

  • Specific communication strategies can effectively mitigate pre-operative anxiety.
  • Key anxiety-reducing messages include ensuring understanding of consent forms and providing clear, simple information.
  • Tailoring communication to distinct patient mindsets is vital for optimal informed consent and anxiety reduction.
