A brief 5-minute video-based education intervention significantly reduced anxiety levels in patients awaiting cardiac catheterization.
This study aimed to determine the effect of video-based education on anxiety levels among patients undergoing pre-cardiac catheterization. The research employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, which is commonly used to compare paired pretest–posttest data in similar intervention studies. The findings indicated a statistically significant difference in anxiety levels before and after the provision of video-based education (p-value 0,000). In conclusion, video-based education was associated with a reduction in anxiety levels among patients scheduled for cardiac catheterization Keywords: Anxiety, Cardiac Catheterization, Education, Video

Handayani et al. (2026) studied Pre-cardiac catheterization anxiety (n=22). Video-based education vs. Pre-intervention baseline was evaluated on Anxiety levels measured by the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) (p=0.000). A 5-minute video-based education intervention significantly reduced anxiety levels in patients scheduled for cardiac catheterization (p=0.000).
