Online patient endoscopy education platform improves outpatient bowel preparation quality: Retrospective observational study.

Background and study aims High-quality bowel preparation is integral to high-quality colonoscopy and adenoma detection. Studies evaluating the effect of pre-colonoscopy educational videos on bowel preparation quality have been variable. We investigated whether augmenting bowel preparation education using our professionally produced, patient-oriented, online educational video series would improve preparation quality, reduce need for repeat procedures, and improve adenoma detection rate (ADR). Patients and methods We conducted a pilot, retrospective, single-center observational study using endoscopy data from a tertiary hospital. Colonoscopy outcomes were compared between two discrete 6-month study periods, before (control group) and after (video group) implementation of the online video intervention. All patients received standard-of-care written and verbal instructions. The video group received a link providing access to the video platform. Primary outcome was adequacy of bowel preparation (defined by the Aronchick Scale). Secondary outcomes included rate of repeat colonoscopy due to inadequate preparation, ADR, and sessile serrated lesion (SSL) detection rate. Results The video intervention group had a lower rate of inadequate bowel preparation compared with the control group (6.3% vs 9.8%, P = 0.018). There was no difference between groups in rate of repeat colonoscopies due to inadequate preparation ( P = 0.62), ADR ( P = 0.11), or SSL detection rate ( P = 0.94). Multivariable analysis did not reveal any independent predictors of bowel preparation quality. Conclusions Our study supports the addition of a novel patient-oriented online educational video resource as an effective tool in enhancing bowel preparation adequacy while maintaining provision of high-quality colonoscopy.

Culinary Home Empowerment for Food Waste Prevention and Minimization: Feasibility and Efficacy Protocol.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a household food-waste prevention and minimization intervention, titled the Culinary Home Empowerment for Food Waste Prevention and Minimization (CHEF-WPM), which consists of a culinary education video series for home cooks. The specific aims are to (1) assess the effects of the intervention at a population level across process (feasibility, usage, acceptability, satisfaction) and preliminary efficacy (motivation, opportunity, ability) metrics and (2) assess the effects of the intervention at a community level across process (feasibility, usage, acceptability, satisfaction) and preliminary efficacy (motivation, opportunity, ability, household food waste, sustainable dietary practices) metrics. The intervention includes eight modules, each containing three to five brief videos, as well as downloadable recipes and worksheets. The evaluation will explore the effects of the program through two distinct investigations, namely (1) voluntary access to the intervention content in a population-based setting and (2) intensive delivery of the intervention content as part of a remote class in a community setting. Evaluation of the intervention in the population-based setting will use a single-arm, quasi-experimental post-test only study design. All home cooks who access the videos will be invited to answer a five-question post-video survey about acceptability, satisfaction, and potential implementation of the learning. A separate sample of individuals will be recruited to participate in a more in-depth evaluation (pre- and multiple post-test survey). Evaluation of the community-based intervention will use a mixed methods study design. Findings from the two distinct evaluation studies will be jointly discussed and triangulated to support larger conclusions about the intervention's desirability, impact on motivation, opportunity, ability, and food waste, and the potential directions for further improvement.

Designing mHealth Apps to Incorporate Evidence-Based Techniques for Prolonging User Engagement.

Maintaining user engagement with mobile health (mHealth) apps can be a challenge. Previously, we developed a conceptual model to optimize patient engagement in mHealth apps by incorporating multiple evidence-based methods, including increasing health literacy, enhancing technical competence, and improving feelings about participation in clinical trials. This viewpoint aims to report on a series of exploratory mini-experiments demonstrating the feasibility of testing our previously published engagement conceptual model. We collected data from 6 participants using an app that showed a series of educational videos and obtained additional data via questionnaires to illustrate and pilot the approach. The videos addressed 3 elements shown to relate to engagement in health care app use: increasing health literacy, enhancing technical competence, and improving positive feelings about participation in clinical trials. We measured changes in participants' knowledge and feelings, collected feedback on the videos and content, made revisions based on this feedback, and conducted participant reassessments. The findings support the feasibility of an iterative approach to creating and refining engagement enhancements in mHealth apps. Systematically identifying the key evidence-based elements intended to be included in an app's design and then systematically testing the implantation of each element separately until a satisfactory level of positive impact is achieved is feasible and should be incorporated into standard app design. While mHealth apps have shown promise, participants are more likely to drop out than to be retained. This viewpoint highlights the potential for mHealth researchers to test and refine mHealth apps using approaches to better engage users.

Novel Online Endoscopy Education Video Platform Reduces Carbon Footprint Associated with Endoscopy Related Patient Travel

1.1. Aims Endoscopy units are resource intensive and contribute to a significant part of healthcare’s carbon footprint and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Sustainability measures is at the forefront of shifting towards carbon neutral endoscopy practices. In 2019, our department introduced an online endoscopy education video series to replace in person pre-procedural education, minimising patient travel associated emission. This study aims to quantify the reduction in pre-procedural travel-associated carbon dioxide emission using a digital health education intervention. 1.2. Methods Outpatient procedural activity between January 2019 to May 2022 at a single tertiary endoscopy unit was collated. Total distance of patient travel (kilometres) to hospital was calculated using postcode geodata coordinates between home postcodes to the hospital. The primary outcome was tonnes of CO2 emission averted from avoided travel.

Didactic Film in Computer-Aided Education of People with Visual and Hearing Impairments

Artificial intelligence mechanisms enable fast speech transcription and printed text recognition (Optical Character Recognition). Speech synthesizers for reading any digital documents have also become popular. In most cases, these are free solutions that can significantly support the education and functioning of people with visual and hearing impairments. Unfortunately, the knowledge of parents and caregivers on this subject is insufficient. Bearing this in mind, a suitable series of educational videos was prepared and published on YouTube. Subsequently, research was conducted to determine whether and to what extent there is a demand for video materials on this topic. For this purpose, the method of implicit observation was used, carried out using YouTube Analytics mechanisms. Its results are available in the form of numerous reports and summaries. Based on the collected materials, a considerable interest in the study was found. It was possible to determine which issues are of particular interest to the recipients. The obtained results will allow for further development of the educational offer.

Applying the Boot Camp Translation Method to Increase Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness in the Houston Hispanic/Latino Community

AbstractBackgroundDespite increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD), Hispanics/Latinos (H/Ls) continue to be underrepresented in ADRD research. H/Ls comprise over 40% of the population in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area. We engaged Houston H/L middle‐ and older‐age community members through a “Boot Camp Translation” (BCT), a community engaged strategy, to co‐create culturally‐responsive materials on ADRD awareness and risk reduction.MethodTwenty ADRD stakeholder organizations yielded 12 participants 35 y/o and older (Median age: 50 y/o). Participants met in three, 4‐hour virtual sessions and several phone conferences from February to June 2021. After an informative kick‐off session on ADRD clinical manifestations, epidemiology and risk reduction, participants answered these questions throughout the process: 1) main message(s) on AD for the Houston H/L community, 2) targeted audience, and 3) best method(s) to convey the message. After the process, BCT participants were invited to become part of a Community Action Board (CAB).ResultNine adults completed the BCT process. Compared to baseline, participants demonstrated improved subjective understanding and objective knowledge of ADRD at the end of the process. Local messaging centered around brain health to reduce AD stigma, importance of geriatric education for care providers, and self‐care in caregiving. Targeted audiences were the general H/L population across the lifespan, care providers and caregivers. Dissemination strategies focused on family and intergenerational relationships, with imagery and colors reflecting the diversity and vibrancy of the Houston H/L community. Final products included a “telenovela‐style” educational video series, and other graphic/ printed materials. Four of the nine participants remain active in the CAB at one year post BCT.ConclusionBoot Camp Translation is an effective way to build community trust, and design culturally relevant AD messaging. Experience was positive overall; participants developed a sense of ownership of the process, and created an atmosphere of cooperation and solidarity.

Patient-oriented educational Sports Medicine YouTube videos in Arabic have higher view counts in the Middle East and North Africa than their English versions

PurposeThe present study aims to assess the impact of the local language on the view count of patient-oriented educational Sports Medicine videos in an Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital in the Middle East and North Africa.MethodsAn observational study on English and Arabic versions of Aspetar’s YouTube channel patient-oriented educational video series was conducted in February 2023, comparing the view count and viewer characteristics. Included videos were posted either simultaneously or in English version first, in both languages, and shared on the same media platforms. Collected data of interest included video title, view count in each language, age and sex of the viewers, location, and traffic source.ResultsEleven videos of the patient-oriented educational video series were included in the present study. Except for one, the view count was significantly higher in the Arabic version of all 11 videos (minimum sevenfold, P = 0.03). Viewers were predominantly males (73.9%) and between 18 and 44 years old (81.1%). Eleven out of 19 countries of the Middle East and North Africa region [11] were among the viewers’ top 20 countries. Traffic sources included YouTube search (45.9%), YouTube suggested videos (17%), external sources (14.4%), YouTube browse features (8.5%), and YouTube advertising (6%).ConclusionPatient-oriented educational Sports Medicine videos in Arabic yield higher view counts than their English version in young adult viewers from 11 countries in the Middle East and Africa among the top 20. Content creation on languages with limited online representation could effectively reach the targeted population by breaking language barriers.

Empowering self-advocacy for breast health: A successful educational campaign on breast cancer risk and screening recommendations.

11041 Background: The purpose was to develop and distribute an educational campaign on breast cancer risk and screening recommendations to empower women, men, and transgender individuals to take charge of their breast health. Identifying individuals at high risk for developing breast cancer through educational campaigns can lead to earlier detection and improved health outcomes. It was hypothesized that the development of a multi-platform educational campaign including televised ads, website, and mobile applications (apps), would result in a broad reach and accessibility of breast cancer risk and screening recommendations. Methods: The campaign ran from 10/1/22 – 12/2/22 and included a variety of mediums, such as televised ads, website, and mobile apps for iOS and Android devices, all of which were available in English and Spanish. An educational video series was developed to raise awareness about the updated guidelines for breast cancer screening from the American College of Radiology (ACR). Videos focused on the importance of screening for women with a high risk of breast cancer and transgender individuals taking hormone therapy. To complement the televised video, case-based teaching illustrations were created for the website and apps. Resources included screening recommendations, local resources for breast cancer screening and foundations for financial assistance. These materials could be accessed at the website https://myriskbreastcancer.com . The website and mobile apps featured a risk calculator developed using the GAIL model from SAS, coded in the Dart programming language to ensure compatibility and all user inputs were stored in a secure Firebase database. To reach a wider audience, responsive social media ads were developed and distributed through targeted Google Ads campaign. Analytics were collected and analyzed using Google Analytics and user inputs from the mobile application to assess the campaign's effectiveness. Results: Televised ads reached a total of 673,920 impressions over 142 educational video sessions. Google display ads had 152,672 impressions and 462 click-throughs with an audience of 49.2% female and 50.8% male. The mobile application was downloaded 2,030 times on iOS and 722 times on Android, and installed in 131 countries. The website saw 930 impressions and 637 users completed the online calculator, with 72 identified as high risk at time of initial data collection on 12/1/22. Conclusions: The educational campaign was successful in reaching > 500,000 impressions within two months of release, sharing knowledge about breast cancer risk and screening recommendations across all gender types. Use of multiple platforms, including television, social media, and mobile apps, allowed for broad reach and accessibility nationally and internationally, including the identification of 72 individuals at high risk for developing breast cancer.

549 The Quality of TikTok Videos in the Education, Prevention, and Management of Burn Injuries

Abstract Introduction Most burn injuries are preventable, and appropriate first aid post-injury results in improved outcomes for the patient as well as a reduced burden on the healthcare system. Many patients turn to internet resources for education and management approaches for their burn injuries. With the rising popularity of social media platforms for the promotion of health information, this creates a more accessible educational realm for those who may not know where to otherwise access informational resources. However, most content on social media is not validated or reliable. Previous studies have investigated the quality of online burn prevention, education, and management videos on platforms such as YouTube. In this study, we attempt to assess the quality of such videos on TikTok, a newer and rapidly growing platform. Methods Videos on TikTok were searched for using 27 keywords (hashtags) such as #burn, #education, #prevention, #management, and #firstaid. The first 30 videos for each hashtag were reviewed. The Global Quality Scale (GQS) was used to assess the quality of the videos that fell within the inclusion criteria. Metrics such as views, viewer engagement, commentary, and likes were also examined. Results Of 525 reviewed videos, 72 met inclusion criteria. 47.2% (n=34) were on first aid or medical management, 33.4% (n=31) were on basic information, and 9.7% (n=7) were on prevention. Only 5.6% (n=4) videos cited sources. The mean GQS score was 2.45. 50% of videos (n=36) were made by creators with medical training, and of those videos, the GQS score was 3.13, whereas content made by creators with no medical training had a mean GQS of 1.81 (p < 0.001). The excluded videos (n=453) fell into 6 main categories: unrelated (n=273), burn wounds (n=106), personal experiences (n=49), advertisements (n=8), questions (n=2), and non-English videos (n=15). Viewership varied from 41 to 4.2 million views. Conclusions Overall, information regarding burns on TikTok is unsatisfactory. Additionally, viewers are more drawn to lower quality videos. While quality varies amongst the different sources and is dependent on the creator, there is a significant gap in reliable content regarding burns, demonstrating an opportunity for validated content creation in this realm. Patients must exert caution and be selective when using TikTok as an educational resource regarding burns. Applicability of Research to Practice This review addresses key gaps in the knowledge base on TikTok for reliable burn information. This will later be used as a framework to create a series of educational videos for patients.

The heaney transfixion stitch: a cognitive task-analysis based educational video

To teach the critical actions used to perform a Heaney transfixion pedicle ligation (“Heaney stitch”). Mapping the decisions made by experts while performing surgical skills can reveal cognitive mental representations utilized to achieve mastery performance. Cognitive task analysis (CTA) is a method used to deconstruct tasks to identify critical knowledge, action steps, and decision points that may be unintentionally automated by experts. CTA increases the accuracy and completeness of surgeons’ instructions on how to complete tasks and has been utilized for making educational interventions in general surgery, plastic surgery, and orthopedics. Three experts and three novices were interviewed on how to perform a Heaney stitch. Eighteen common critical action points were identified and used to generate an educational video. Using the Fundamentals of Vaginal Surgery (FVS) task trainer, this CTA-based educational video will instruct learners on proper needle loading; suture management; needle placement; how to optimize visualization; and efficiency of motion. This is the first of a planned series of educational videos for the Fundamentals of Vaginal Surgery (FVS) Simulation System.

Video-Assisted Health Education Promotes Rehabilitation Training of Total Knee Arthroplasty Patients and Reduces Stress and Burnout in Nurses Compared to Oral Education.

Emerging evidence suggests video-assisted health education being an effective way in promoting rehabilitation. The present study was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of video-assisted health education in promoting rehabilitation training in postoperative OA patients and at comparing it with oral education. This study was a noncontemporaneous control study involving 179 patients who underwent TKA. For the intervention group, a bedside interactive system that recorded a series of educational videos showing a rehabilitation training program was established. For the control group, oral education having the same content as that in the videos for the intervention group was provided. After education, clinical outcomes such as occurrence of complications, circulating biomarkers of inflammation, and rehabilitation progress of the patients were obtained. Furthermore, job stress and burnout in nurses who participated in the present study were assessed. Results showed that C-reactive protein levels of patients were significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (84.54 ± 36.09 vs. 99.45 ± 31.73 mg/L, P = 0.004). Faster achievement of postoperative knee flexion to 90 degrees (21.31 ± 5.83 vs. 35.72 ± 9.93 h, P < 0.001) and first ambulation (19.91 ± 4.57 vs. 50.15 ± 7.00 h, P < 0.001), reduced number of postoperative complications such as postoperative orthostatic intolerance (7 vs. 19, P = 0.008) and constipation (10 vs. 23, P = 0.009), and reduced length of hospital stay (7.51 ± 1.79 vs. 8.21 ± 2.15 days, P = 0.019) in the intervention group in comparison to the control group were noted. Emotional exhaustion and burnout of nurses were reduced significantly in the intervention group than in the control group (21.00 ± 8.04 vs. 36.50 ± 11.22, P = 0.002; 55.90 ± 11.57 vs. 85.50 ± 6.80, P < 0.001, respectively). Reduced personal accomplishments in nurses were improved significantly in the intervention group when compared with the control group (41.90 ± 4.91 vs. 32.80 ± 7.07, P = 0.004). We concluded that video-assisted health education may promote TKA patient recovery and reduce burnout and stress in nurses when compared with oral education. Video-assisted health education could be helpful in situation where manpower of nurse is in shortage.

Evaluation of a Pediatric Obesity Management Toolkit for Health Care Professionals: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

Health care professionals (HCPs) play a critical role in helping to address weight-related issues with pediatric patients, yet often feel ill-equipped to discuss/manage this complex and sensitive health issue. Using the five As (“Ask, Assess, Advise, Agree, and Assist”) of Pediatric Obesity Management, we created a series of educational videos and evaluated the content, quality (acceptability, engagement), and impact of these videos on HCPs’ self-efficacy, knowledge, and change in practice when addressing weight-related issues with pediatric patients and their families using questionnaires. HCPs (n = 65) participated in a baseline assessment and 4–6 month follow-up (n = 54). Knowledge and self-efficacy increased post-video for the majority of participants. At follow-up, most HCPs reported a change in their practice attributable to viewing the videos, and their self-efficacy ratings improved over time for the majority of questions asked. Most participants rated aspects of each of the videos highly. Preliminary findings suggest that an evidence-based educational toolkit of videos, based on the 5As framework, may lead to changes in self-reported behaviors among HCPs, and sustained improvements in their self-efficacy in addressing weight-related topics with children and their families. (Clinical Trial Number NCT04126291).

P051 USING A HUMAN-CENTERED QUALITATIVE RESEARCH APPROACH FOR DEVELOPING IBD EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS DELIVERED THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA

Abstract Background Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can have knowledge gaps regarding their disease and its management, which may lead to anxiety and reduced quality of life. They often use social media as a tool to seek information and manage their chronic disease. The goal of this study was to develop a series of educational videos optimized for social media that are informed by patient insights and address their experiences, concerns, and unmet educational needs. Methods We used a human-centered design approach to guide our qualitative data collection and analysis. We performed two focus groups and 6 semi-structured interviews with patients with IBD to gain insights into their educational needs and expectations regarding these videos. In total, 19 patients with diverse demographic profiles and varying health and digital literacy levels were included in our purposive sample. The collected data was transcribed and analyzed using a thematic analysis. We visualized patients’ thoughts, feelings, and needs in an empathy map. The mapping process helped us create a shared understanding of patient-users, and generate ideas on the topic and the script of each video. Subsequently, 5 video prototypes were built and tested by 22 patients with IBD. The collected feedback was used to refine the prototypes and develop the final videos. Results We noted conflicting thoughts and feelings towards online information; on one hand, IBD-related online information was perceived as overwhelming and unreliable, but on the other it was empowering and helpful. Five major themes for the video topics also emerged from the analyses (Figure 1). First, patients noted a major need to learn about the risks and benefits associated with available treatment options. Participants expressed concerns regarding starting biologics, biologics side-effects and long-term effectiveness. Second, they accentuated the need to know how to be self-advocates in order to navigate their insurance and to obtain the information they need from their providers. Third, they mentioned the importance of learning ways to stay healthy beyond just medical therapy. Fourth, they wanted information on how to cope with their IBD diagnosis and live with their condition. Fifth, participants expressed desire for a video that educates their families, friends and colleagues about IBD, so that they can better understand IBD patients’ psychological and physical experiences. Conclusion We used a human centered qualitative approach to get an in-depth understanding of IBD patients’ educational needs, thoughts and feelings. A series of focus groups and interviews were performed with patients, which informed the development of 5 educational videos that are tailored to suit their needs. In the next phases of this study, the videos will be formally tested and widely disseminated through social media.
