Patient-Centered Versus Physician-Centered Counseling MidUrethral Sling Videos

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Stress Urinary Incontinence, Satisfaction

In brief

The decision making process for stress incontinence surgery is complex. A key gap in the literature is how to improve patient preparedness and satisfaction for mid-urethral sling (MUS) surgery that is reproducible and low cost. Multimedia can assist in bridging this gap. The specific aims of the proposed research: (1) is to develop two videos to counsel patients who have elected to undergo a MUS surgery. One video will be created from a patient-centered perspective using peers as counselors. The second will employ a traditional counseling approach; (2) To compare the impact of multimedia counseling between women randomized to a patient-centered counseling versus a traditional counseling video. The investigators will recruit patients who present with stress urinary incontinence who elect to undergo a MUS procedure. Women will be randomized during their pre-operative visit to watch the patient-centered or traditional counseling video before they are counseled regarding their upcoming MUS surgery in the usual manner. The investigators anticipate women randomized to a patient centered-video will report higher satisfaction, less decisional regret, greater preparedness, and less anxiety as measured by validated scales. Successful completion will improve understanding of patient's needs and will allow development of improved educational tools readily available to the AUGS community.
