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.

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.

Conditions

• Mohs Surgery

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Pre-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.
BEHAVIORAL	verbal 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
BEHAVIORAL	written 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
