- Abstract
Patient education plays a crucial role in improving healthcare outcomes and ensuring high-quality care. The objective of this study was to assess patient satisfaction and knowledge about transcatheter arterial chemoembolization after watching some video-based education. A quasi experimental design was employed, involving 30 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and their family caregivers. All participants received specialized video-based education on transcatheter arterial chemoembolization before undergoing the procedure. Pretest and post-test knowledge scores were compared using Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed ranks test, and satisfaction scores were analyzed and evaluated. The findings demonstrated a significant increase in post-test scores compared to pretest scores for all participants (p -value <.001). Moreover, participants who had prior experience with the procedure exhibited higher pretest scores than those who did not. Nevertheless, both groups experienced a significant improvement in post-test scores (p -value <.001). Additionally, all participants expressed high levels of satisfaction with the video-based education. In conclusion, video-based education effectively enhanced participants' knowledge of the transcatheter arterial chemoembolization procedure and yielded high patient satisfaction. This approach enables patients to actively engage in their treatment, thereby improving the overall quality of healthcare in interventional radiology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
