Background: The value of endoscopy is more increasing as a tool of the cancer screening, and many studies are now progressed for decreasing the inconvenience of patients who undergo the endoscopy. There are some overseas studies that the video-education before procedures like colonoscopy or coronary angiography increases the satisfaction and decreases the anxiety of the patients. But in Korea, there is lack of studies about the methods of decreasing the anxiety of the patients before procedures especially endoscopy.
Methods: We carried out the survey with 95 patients underwent the endoscopy in the medical health checkup center of National Health Insurance Medical Center during 19 July 2008 to 8 September 2008. The patients who had the medical history of gastrectomy, had pains due to another diseases and had a prescription about psychiatric medicine including hypnotics were excluded.
Results: Statistically there are no differences between two groups of the video-education and the paper-education according to age, sex, height, weight, body mass index, numbers of former endoscopy, smoking history and educational standard. The video-education is more effective than the paper-education in decreasing the anxiety index between before and after the education.
Conclusion: The prior video-education for the patients awaiting endoscopy can decrease the anxiety about procedure. Moreover, it can decrease the suffication of the patients and increase the satisfaction of physicians. If the patients feeling the prior anxiety are educated with the video before undergoing endoscopy, the video-education is very effective to decrease the prior anxiety of the patients.
