What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the impact of multimedia tools during the informed consent process on the anxiety levels of parents whose children are scheduled for orchiopexy surgery. Parents will be randomly assigned to either a standard consent process or one that includes multimedia resources. Anxiety levels will be assessed using validated scales before and after the surgery to determine the effectiveness of the multimedia intervention. The study seeks to provide insights into how enhanced communication methods can alleviate parental anxiety in pediatric surgical contexts.
