Abstract

To provide further “informed consent” a visualized critical path using video-tape was produced. It is called “videopath” and is already being currently used for patients with acute myocardial infarction in our hospital with good reputation. To identify objective effect of this “videopath”, 26 healthy volunteers were separated into 2 groups; one who receives explanation only with oral and the other with the “videopath”, fifteen questions about the disease itself and management process for the patients with acute myocardial infarction were given, and the grade of understanding was measured by the number of correct answers. The mean grade of “videopath” group was significantly (p<0.05) higher. Through this investigation, it has been proved that a “videopath” is a recommendable method to obtain further and higher grade of “informed consent”. Since basic and generalized information and guidance are able to be saved with the “videopath”, it saves time. The saved time can be used for further oral explanation and personal understanding of each patient and the family. In our hospital, more than 10 another items of critical pathways with “videopath” are currently applied.
