This single-blind, parallel-arm randomized trial will enroll 48 adults having uroflowmetry and assign them to either a structured brochure or standard verbal counseling. Anxiety will be measured with the modified Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS-M) and satisfaction with a questionnaire adapted from Dogun et al. Outcomes will be compared between groups using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and independent t-tests analyzed in SPSS 23. The intervention is low-risk and focuses on changing how information is delivered before the procedure.
