What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests whether watching an educational video after a prostate procedure called HoLEP (a surgery to treat prostate issues) can improve recovery and satisfaction. Participants will be divided into two groups: one will watch a video about post-surgery expectations, and the other will not. The trial aims to determine if the video reduces the need for extra care after the procedure and boosts patient satisfaction. Individuals planning to undergo a HoLEP procedure, who are comfortable completing surveys, and speak English might be suitable for this trial. As an unphased trial, this study offers participants the chance to contribute to innovative research that could enhance recovery experiences for future patients.

Do I need to stop my current medications for this trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

What prior data suggests that this educational video is safe for post-operative care?

In a previous study, researchers examined how videos can aid recovery after surgery. These videos showed patients what to expect and how to care for themselves at home. Patients appreciated the videos and felt more informed. No safety issues arose from watching these educational videos. This indicates that watching a video, like the one in this trial, is a safe and effective way to learn about post-surgery self-care. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Researchers are excited about this trial because it explores a new way to support patients after prostate procedures using an educational video. Unlike traditional care, which often relies on written instructions or verbal consultations, this video method could be more engaging and easier for patients to understand. The visual format might help simplify complex information, leading to better health outcomes by improving patient comprehension and adherence to post-procedure care instructions. This approach could revolutionize how patients receive and retain important health information, potentially making recovery smoother and more effective.

What evidence suggests that this educational video is effective for post-operative care after a prostate procedure?

This trial will compare the effects of watching an educational video with not watching one after a prostate procedure. Research has shown that many educational videos about prostate procedures, such as HoLEP, often lack clarity and may not be helpful. Studies examining the quality of these videos, especially on platforms like YouTube, have found they often lack useful information. However, well-made educational content can enhance patients' understanding of their procedures and increase satisfaction with their care. This understanding might lead to better recovery, such as fewer return visits to the hospital. Although specific data on the effectiveness of videos for HoLEP is limited, the potential benefits of quality educational videos are promising. ^{6 7 8 9}
