Popis: Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge level and patient satisfaction after receiving multimedia education on delirium developed by the Siriraj Integrated Perioperative Geriatric Excellent Research Center (SiPG), Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand in geriatric patients undergoing elective noncardiac surgery. Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled study included geriatric patients scheduled for elective noncardiac surgery. The patients were randomized and categorized into an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group received multimedia education on delirium developed by SiPG, comprising a video. After watching the video clip, the patients took an examination for acute delirium, and were also asked to complete a satisfaction survey questionnaire. The control group took only the delirium examination. The average scores between the two group were compared by using independent t-tests. Results: Fifty-four geriatric patients were included in the study (27 patients per group). The average score of the examination in the intervention group (6.56±1.58 out of 8) was significantly higher than the control group (4.96±1.65). In the satisfaction survey, all the patients stated they were “highly satisfied” with the multimedia video clip. Conclusion: The multimedia video clip on delirium developed by SiPG has a potential to serve as an effective tool for promoting preoperative education in geriatric patients. Our study demonstrated its ability to improve patient knowledge and increase patient satisfaction.
