Patients and family members prefer videotape and physician discussion for informed consent before endoscopy. This combined approach enhances understanding and satisfaction with the procedure details.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Education
  • Patient Communication

Background:

  • Informed consent is crucial for medical procedures like colonoscopy and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
  • Traditional methods of obtaining informed consent may not always be optimal for patient understanding.
  • Evaluating patient and family member satisfaction with different consent approaches is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess patient and family member satisfaction with alternative methods for obtaining informed consent before endoscopic procedures.
  • To compare satisfaction levels between videotape-only, physician discussion-only, and combined videotape and physician discussion for informed consent.

Main Methods:

  • A convenience sample of 204 endoscopy patients and 102 family members participated.

  • Participants completed a survey on their prior informed consent experience and preferences.
  • The study compared satisfaction with informed consent obtained via videotape and physician discussion.

    • Main Results:

    • A combination of videotape and physician explanation was preferred over either method alone.
    • Participants found the videotape improved understanding of risks, benefits, and alternatives.
    • The combined approach provided an appropriate amount of information for prospective endoscopic procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • Patient satisfaction is a key factor in selecting the best informed consent method.
    • Adding videotapes to the informed consent process can enhance patient satisfaction and dialogue.
    • This method may improve informed consent achievement in oncology patients by ensuring consistent information delivery.
