Study summary

The purpose of this research is to look at how educational videos might affect patient satisfaction and anxiety before Mohs surgery day. Patients will be randomized to either: 1) a group that receives educational videos before the visit in addition to standard-of-care written and verbal instructions OR 2) a group that receives only standard-of-care written and verbal instructions.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to determine if pre-operative videos describing the patient's forthcoming day in the Mohs clinic decrease pre-operative patient anxiety and increase postoperative patient satisfaction, when added to standard of care written and verbal instruction.

Design/Study Type This study will be a randomized control trial in which patients will be randomized to either the intervention (pre-operative Mohs Surgery video viewing) or control (standard of care) group in order to understand the impact of the video on patient anxiety and satisfaction. Patients will be randomized using an Accelerated Biased Coin Design in the statistical program R.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Pre-Operative Videos + verbal/written instructions

    This video contains the same instructions that the patient receives when they arrive at the clinic, as well as a video walk through of the clinic/patient room. Videos will be created by the study team to ensure that the content coincides with what is delivered in the standard-of-care verbal and written instructions.

  • Active comparator
    verbal/written instructions

    This arm will receive the standard-of-care verbal/written instructions and the pre-operative video explanation. These instructions contain the same content as in the pre-operative videos

Interventions

  • BehavioralPre-Operative Videos

    Videos will be created by the study team to ensure that the content coincides with what is delivered in the standard-of-care verbal and written instructions. The videos will be split into two modules: 1) preparing for Mohs Surgery 2) Mohs Surgery Walk through. The intervention, in the form of a video walk through, will be provided to the patient via email prior to their surgical procedure once they schedule an appointment with the Mohs clinic for their surgery day.

  • Behavioralverbal instructions

    As part of the standard of care for patients receiving Mohs surgery, patients are told about the day of their surgery and what to expect

  • Behavioralwritten instructions

    As part of the standard of care for patients receiving Mohs surgery, patients receive written material about the day of their surgery and what to expect

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Difference in mean Likert scale rating of subject satisfaction score

    For subject satisfaction score, the mean Likert scale rating for the control and intervention groups will be compared. The scale being used is a six item instrument with individual scores ranging from 1-5 (total score 6-30). Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction.

    Time frame: Up to 8 weeks after visit

  2. Difference in mean Likert scale rating of subject anxiety score

    For subject anxiety score, the mean Likert scale rating for the control and intervention groups will be compared. The scale being used is a seven item instrument with individual scores ranging from 1-5 with positive worded items scored in reverse (total score 7-35). Higher scores indicate greater anxiety

    Time frame: Up to 8 weeks after visit

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 22, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
