TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title Does the use of video improve patient satisfaction in the consent process for local-anaesthetic urological procedures?
Official scientific title The use of video to improve patient satisfaction in the consent process for urological procedures: a single-centre, randomised and controlled trial
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial The primary objective of this study is to assess patient satisfaction with the use of Portable Video Media (PVM) for the purpose of taking informed consent for common urological outpatient-procedures performed under local anaesthesia. Three outpatient urologic procedures were included in this research: flexible cystoscopy with or without () bladder biopsy, flexible cystoscopy with the insertion or removal of a “Double-J” (DJ) ureteric stent, and transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) prostate biopsy.

STUDY DESIGN
Intervention assignment Allocation to intervention If randomised, describe how the allocation sequence was generated Describe how the allocation sequence/code was concealed from the person allocating the participants to the intervention arms Masking If masking / blinding was used
Crossover: all participants receive all interventions in different sequence during study Randomised Simple randomization using a randomization table created by a computer software program Sealed opaque envelopes Open-label(Masking Not Used)
INTERVENTIONS
Intervention type Intervention name Dose Duration Intervention description Group size Nature of control
Control Group Standard verbal consent Not a drug trial. Not applicable The study involved each patient participating in both arms of the study, those being portable video media (PVM) for the purpose of consent and standard verbal consent (SVC) with a doctor. All patients also received a procedure-specific patient information leaflet prior to undergoing consent. Standard verbal consent (SVC) acted as the "control" arm, as the traditional (historical) form of consent. Verbal consent was undertaken by urology registrars at Groote Schuur hospital, with no scripting provided. 60 Historical
Experimental Group Portal video media consent Not a drug trial Not applicable As either the initial intervention or following crossover, all participants underwent Portable video media consent as the "experimental" arm. 60
