Abstract
The objective of this study is to identify the value of using video to communicate and share information with patients, and assess the role of video in aiding decision-making and consent in urogynaecological surgery. The patients with the need for urogynaecological surgery who were seen in Weston Hospital from November 2003 to December 2008 were offered a video of the proposed procedure to watch prior to decision-making and consenting. Patients were then sent a questionnaire assessing the role of the video in their understanding of the need for and method of the procedure, and the impact of this on their decision-making. A total of 96 questionnaires were sent out, and 71 forms were returned and analysed. Our study shows that women's understanding of the method and purpose of their operation was significantly increased by using the video.
