This study aimed to assess the impact of dynamic video education versus static images and verbal instruction on pain perception and anxiety in patients undergoing transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx). Participants were allocated to three groups: control (verbal information), video (verbal information accompanied by dynamic video), and image (verbal information supplemented by static images). Pain intensity was quantified utilizing the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), while anxiety was evaluated with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) prior to and following the surgery.
