Title: "Study of Informative Video on Alleviating Perioperative Anxiety and Improving Satisfaction Score in Obstetric Patients Undergoing Elective Lower Segment Caesarean Section Under Spinal Anaesthesia" Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an informative video in reducing perioperative anxiety and enhancing satisfaction in obstetric patients undergoing elective Caesarean sections under spinal anaesthesia. The hypothesis is that patients who view the video will experience lower anxiety and higher satisfaction compared to those who receive standard pre-anaesthetic counselling alone. Background: Spinal anaesthesia, commonly used for Caesarean sections, offers rapid, predictable pain relief but can cause discomfort due to factors such as visceral pain and fundal pressure, leading to perioperative anxiety. Anxiety can negatively impact maternal satisfaction and increase the risk of postpartum complications. Previous studies have shown mixed results regarding the efficacy of educational videos in alleviating this anxiety. Methods: The study is a prospective, randomized controlled trial conducted at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre. Eligible participants are obstetric patients (ASA II-III) undergoing elective Caesarean sections. Participants are randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which receives a supplemental informative video, or a control group receiving standard care. Anxiety and satisfaction levels are assessed using validated questionnaires pre- and post-surgery. Anticipated Outcomes: The study hypothesizes that the informative video will significantly reduce perioperative anxiety and improve maternal satisfaction, thereby demonstrating the superiority of this intervention over standard pre-anaesthetic counselling.

Perioperative Anxiety Level
Timeframe: Preoperative: Baseline anxiety levels are assessed one day before the caesarean section.Postoperative: Anxiety levels are reassessed on day 1 post-caesarean section.
