What this trial studies

This prospective randomized controlled trial explores whether a comedy video shown before urodynamic testing can lessen patient anxiety and pain, and influence procedural readiness and uroflowmetric results. Data are collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, State Anxiety Inventory, Visual Analog Scale, Procedural Readiness Form, and Uroflowmetric Parameters Monitoring Form. Participants are adults undergoing their first urodynamic test, randomized to receive standard pre-procedural care or the comedy-video intervention. The study follows institutional protocol for the procedure, including catheter insertion and bladder assessments, with outcomes analyzed to determine potential benefits of the video distraction. Conducted at Tarsus University with collaboration from Mersin University in Turkey.
