WashU DIEP Flap Video and Patient Understanding Improvement (NCT06864754)

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Washington University School of Medicine

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Patients will complete a survey before and after watching the WashU DIEP Flap Video at their pre-operative standard of care visit, and a third survey at their post-operative standard of care visit. These surveys will use questions from SILS, APAIS, PEMAT, and AIM/IAM to assess the patient's health literacy, demographics questions, and questions concerning patient understanding and anxiety surrounding the procedure. The purpose of the post-op survey will be to assess how well the video set expectations of the procedure and recovery process and will repeat questions asked pre-operatively. Survey responses will be analyzed to determine if there are beneficial trends and improvement in patient understanding and anxiety due to adjunct video usage. Primary Objective: The primary aim of the study is to determine if our animated video affects understanding and anxiety survey scores in patients undergoing DIEP breast reconstruction.
