Educational Video to Improve Understanding and Reduce Anxiety in Heart Attack Patients

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Patients who are diagnosed with a heart attack are often confronted with an unexpected hospital admission and an urgent heart catheterization. In this stressful situation, anxiety is common and understanding of the procedure may be limited, even after standard verbal and written explanations. This study investigates whether a short educational video, shown in addition to standard medical information, can help patients better understand the heart catheterization procedure and reduce anxiety before the intervention. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either standard information alone or standard information plus the educational video. The study will assess patients' understanding of the procedure, their level of anxiety, and their satisfaction with the information provided. The results may help improve patient education and support in acute cardiac care settings.
