This study looks at whether watching a short educational video before a cystoscopy can help reduce feelings of anxiety, stress, and depression in patients having the procedure for the first time. Cystoscopy is a test that helps doctors see inside the bladder and urinary tract. It can cause worry or fear, especially for patients who have never had it before. In this study, 180 adult patients were divided into two groups. One group received standard written information about the procedure, and the other group received the same written information plus a short, easy-to-understand animation video that explains what will happen during cystoscopy. The video shows what patients might feel, what the procedure looks like, and what to expect afterward. The study measured how patients felt before and after the procedure to see if the video helped them feel calmer and more prepared. The goal is to find out if using videos before medical procedures can improve the patient experience and reduce stress and anxiety.
