This trial studied whether an animated educational video about nail biopsies could help patients feel less anxious, understand their procedure better, and feel more satisfied with their care. Researchers compared patients who received the video along with standard information to those who received standard information alone. The video showed exactly what to expect during a nail biopsy procedure.
Many patients feel anxious before medical procedures, and better understanding can help reduce that fear and improve their overall experience. This trial explored whether a simple educational video could be an effective tool to prepare patients and ease their concerns.
Participants were assigned to one of two groups. One group watched an educational video about the nail biopsy procedure in addition to receiving standard information (verbal explanations and printed instructions via QR code). The other group received only the standard information. Both groups then proceeded with their scheduled nail biopsy, and researchers measured how anxious participants felt beforehand, how well they understood the procedure, and how satisfied they were with their care.
