Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In acute abdominal emergencies, surgical procedures and disease explanations must be provided within a limited timeframe, which can lead to variability in patient and family understanding. The pathophysiology, treatment, and potential complications of these conditions are complex, making standardization of explanations a challenge. In recent years, the use of video-based educational tools has been expected to enhance patient understanding, and evidence in the field of general surgery has demonstrated a significant improvement in comprehension with such interventions. However, clinical implementation data in the context of abdominal emergency care remain limited.
This study aims to evaluate the usefulness of institutionally developed educational videos for patients. Specifically, we will investigate the impact of introducing preoperative educational videos on patient understanding, satisfaction with explanations, and physician explanation time.
