The Effect of Visual and Auditory Information on Illness Perceptions and Patient Satisfaction in Knee Osteoarthritis

Abstract

Aim To evaluate the effect of visual and auditory information about knee osteoarthritis on illness perception and patient satisfaction with electronic guidance.

Method In this randomized controlled and single-blind study, 100 patients with osteoarthritis were included in two groups (50 video group, 50 control group). The video group was informed about knee osteoarthritis by a physician and then watched a video. The control group was only informed about knee osteoarthritis by the same physician. Before and after the information, Visual Analog Scale, a Likert scale for patient satisfaction, and the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) were filled.

Results In the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), after the information, a statistically significant difference was found in the personal control, concern, coherence subgroups in the video group compared to the control group (p<0.001, p=0.002, p<0.001, respectively). According to the likert scale, the satisfaction level of the patients in the video group was significantly higher compared to the control group (p<0.001).

Conclusion It has been shown for the first time in the literature that visual and auditory information is provided by watching video information about osteoarthritis with an electronic guide. It could be ensured that the patients' control, concern, knowledge, and satisfaction levels could be improved via this application.

Zusammenfassung

Ziel Evaluierung der Wirkung visueller und auditiver Informationen über Kniearthrose mit elektronischem Leitfaden auf die Krankheitswahrnehmung und Patientenzufriedenheit.

Methode In diese randomisierte, kontrollierte und einfach verblindete Studie wurden 100 Patienten mit Osteoarthritis in zwei Gruppen (jeweils 50 Patienten in der Videogruppe und in der Kontrollgruppe) eingeschlossen. Die Patienten der Videogruppe wurden von einem Arzt über Kniearthrose informiert und sahen sich anschließend ein Video an. Die Kontrollgruppe wurde von demselben Arzt nur über Kniearthrose informiert. Vor und nach der Information füllten die Teilnehmer eine Visuelle Analogskala, eine Likert-Skala für die Patientenzufriedenheit und den Fragebogen zur Krankheitswahrnehmung (B-IPQ, Kurzform) aus.

Ergebnisse In der Kovarianzanalyse (ANCOVA), die nach der Patienteninformation erhoben wurde, konnte ein statistisch signifikanter Unterschied in den Unterpunkten persönliche Kontrolle, Ausmaß der Sorgen und Verstehen der Krankheit in der Videogruppe im Vergleich zur Kontrollgruppe festgestellt werden (p<0,001, p=0,002 bzw. p<0,001). Die Likert-Skala zeigte eine signifikant höhere Patientenzufriedenheit in der Videogruppe im Vergleich zur Kontrollgruppe (p<0,001).

Schlussfolgerung Mit dieser Studie wird zum ersten Mal in der Literatur gezeigt, dass visuelle und auditive Informationen über Kniearthrose in Form eines Videos mit elektronischem Leitfaden vermittelt werden. Wir konnten zeigen, dass verschiedene Bereiche, wie persönliche Kontrolle, Ausmaß der Sorgen und Verstehen der Krankheit sowie Patientenzufriedenheit durch diese Anwendung verbessert werden konnten.
