Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of repeated audiovisual information on the reduction of uncertainty and anxiety in patients undergoing thyroidectomy.
Methods: A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. The study included 32 patients in the experimental group and 32 in the control group. Preoperative information using video-audio media was provided two times for 5 minutes and 45 seconds each in the experimental group, while the control group only received routine care. The data collection period was from November 1, 2017 to February 23, 2018. The data were analyzed using ¥ö©÷ test, t test, and independent t-test with SPSS/WIN 24.0.
Results: Significant differences were observed between the two groups in pre- and post-uncertainty scores (t = -2.06, p = .044) and anxiety scores (t = -2.06, p = .044).
Conclusion: Repeated information provided by using videoaudio media is effective as a nursing intervention to reduce uncertainty and anxiety in patients undergoing thyroidectomy.
