The Impact of Visualization Format and Navigational Options on Laypeople's Perception and Preference of Surgery Information Videos: Randomized Controlled Trial and Online Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients need to be educated about possible treatment choices in order to make informed medical decisions. As most patients are medical laypeople, they find it difficult to understand complex medical information sufficiently to feel confident about a decision. Multimedia interventions such as videos are increasingly used to supplement personal consultations with medical professionals. Former research has shown that such interventions may have a positive effect on understanding, decision making, and emotional reactions. However, it is thus far unclear how different features of videos influence these outcomes.

Objective

We aimed to examine the impact of visualization formats and basic navigational options in medical information videos about cruciate ligament surgery
