What this trial is about
Background: Uroflowmetry (UFM) is a non-invasive initial, simple, and widely performed first-line investigation for the evaluation of lower urinary tract symptoms. Despite its non-invasive nature, uroflowmetry can provoke anxiety and affect satisfaction, often due to misunderstandings about the procedure. Objective: This randomized control trial aimed to compare the effects of structured versus verbal education on anxiety and satisfaction in patients undergoing uroflowmetry. Methodology: A single-blind, parallel-arm study will include 48 patients, which will be randomized into structured (brochure) and verbal counseling groups. The modified Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS-M) will assess anxiety, while satisfaction will be measured by using a questionnaire adapted from Dogun et al. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and independent t-tests will be employed for data analysis in spss 23.
