Abstract

PURPOSE
This study was conducted to identify the effects of educational video program delivered using Tablet PC on physical discomfort, uncertainty, state anxiety, and nursing education satisfaction among early gastric cancer patients undergoing endoscopic submucosal dissection.
METHODS
The study design was nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The subjects were 60 patients who were hospitalized to undergo endoscopic submucosal dissection. The experimental group watched educational video using Tablet PC (n=30) and the control group received only the usual education (n=30). The collected data were analyzed using independent t-test to examine study hypothesis.
RESULTS
The level of physical discomfort (t=3.05, p=.003) and nursing education satisfaction (t=−2.20, p=.032) in the experimental group were significantly different from that of the control group. However, the level of uncertainty (t=−0.82, p=.418) and state anxiety (t=−1.69, p=.097) in the experimental group were not different from that of the control group.
CONCLUSION
The study findings confirm that the educational video program delivered using Tablet PC as an effective intervention alleviating physical discomfort and improving satisfaction regarding nursing education among early gastric cancer patients undergoing endoscopic submucosal dissection. Based on the findings, we believe that the educational video program can be helpful in decreaseing physical discomfort, and it also can be utilized to improve nursing education satisfaction.
