Aim: The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to detect the effect of using multimedia during the informed consent process on the anxiety of parents of orchiopexy patients.

Parents (primary caregivers) of the patients who underwent orchiopexy surgery are included in the study.

The patient's age, gender, known diseases, previous hospital admissions, and whether they have undergone surgery before will be recorded. The primary caregiver's age, gender, known diseases, educational status, occupation, number of children, and any additional illnesses in other children will be noted.

Patients will be randomized into 2 groups with the help of (https://www.randomizer.org/ ). The first group will be informed of the Standard Consent Form and Verbal Information during the preoperative process. In contrast, the second group will be informed of the Standard Consent Form, Verbal Information, and Multimedia. Both groups will fill out the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS), BECK Anxiety Inventory(BAI), and The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) Form Tx 1-2 forms one day before the surgery and on the 7th day after the surgery to determine their anxiety levels.

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 Nov 20, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
