HYPOTHESIS: Providing additional information by video in addition to the standard consultation in women requesting sterilisation increases patients' knowledge about the procedure with no change in anxiety levels. DESIGN: Randomised control trial in 6 weeks. POPULATION: Women requesting sterilisation (n = 31). SETTING:Gynaecology clinics in two teaching hospitals. METHODS: Comparison of providing additional information by video in addition to the standard consultation with the standard consultation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Patients' knowledge of sterilisation, anxiety levels and acceptance of the video approach. RESULTS: Women receiving video information as well as the standard consultation had significantly higher knowledge scores compared with women only receiving the conventional consultation. Women undergoing aconventional consultation (no video) in a nurse-led dedicated sterilisation clinic had significantly higher knowledge scores than women having their consultation in a general gynaecological clinic. There were no differences in anxiety levels between the groups. Information giving by video was acceptable to the majority of women. CONCLUSION: Videos are a reliable and consistent method of delivering information to women requesting female sterilisation.
