Multimedia Support for improving preoperative patient education a randomized controlled trial using the example of radical prostatectomy
Annals of Surgical Oncology, 2013Co-Authors: Johannes Huber, Andreas Ihrig, Christian G Huber, Beryl Konyango, Mohammed Yass, Thomas Bruckner, T J Peters, Novica Lozankovski, Regina Stredele, Peter MollAbstract:Growing evidence Supports the use of Multimedia presentations for informing patients. Therefore, we Supported preoperative education by adding a Multimedia tool and examined the effects in a randomized controlled trial. We randomized German-speaking patients scheduled for radical prostatectomy at our center to receive either a Multimedia-Supported (MME) or a standard education (SE). Outcomes were measured in a structured interview. Primary outcome was patient satisfaction. In addition, we applied validated instruments to determine anxiety and measures of decision-making. Results were given by mean and standard deviation. For comparison of groups we used t test and chi-square test. For an explorative analysis we applied multivariate logistic regression. We randomized 203 patients to receive MME (n = 102) or SE (n = 101). Complete satisfaction with preoperative education was more frequent in the MME group (69 vs 52 %, p = .016) and patients after MME reported more questions (5.7 vs 4.2, p = .018). There was no difference concerning the duration of talks and the number of recalled risks. However, perceived knowledge was higher after MME (1.3 vs 1.6, p = .037). Anxiety and measures of decision-making were comparable. Patients judged the Multimedia tool very positive, and 74 % of the MME group thought that their preoperative education had been superior to SE. Multimedia Support should be considered worthwhile for improving the informed consent process before surgery ( www.germanctr.de ; DRKS00000096).

Multimedia Support in preoperative patient education for radical prostatectomy the physicians point of view
Patient Education and Counseling, 2012Co-Authors: Andreas Ihrig, Wolfgang Herzog, Christian G Huber, Boris Hadaschik, Sascha Pahernik, Markus Hohenfellner, Johannes HuberAbstract:Abstract Objective To systematically assess the physicians’ point of view of Multimedia Support in preoperative patient education for radical prostatectomy. Methods We evaluated the view of physicians performing Multimedia Supported preoperative educations within a randomized controlled trial. Therein 8 physicians educated 203 patients for radical prostatectomy. Results All physicians rated Multimedia Supported education better than the standard procedure. Main reasons were better comprehensibility, the visual presentation, and greater ease in explaining complex issues. Objective time measurement showed no difference between both educations. The major disadvantage was the impression, that Multimedia Supported education lasted longer. Moreover, they had the impression that some details could be further improved. Given the choice, every physician would decide for Multimedia Support. Conclusion Physicians appreciate Multimedia Support in preoperative education and contrary to their impression, Multimedia Support does not prolong patient education. Therefore, patients and physicians likewise profit from Multimedia Support for education and counseling. Practice implications The readiness of physicians is a possible obstacle to this improvement, as their view is a key factor for the transition to everyday routine. Therefore, our results could alleviate this possible barrier for establishing Multimedia Supported education in clinical routine.

the effects of Multimedia enhanced instruction on the vocabulary of english language learners and non english language learners in pre kindergarten through second grade
Journal of Educational Psychology, 2009Co-Authors: Rebecca D Silverman, Sara HinesAbstract:This study compared traditional and Multimedia-enhanced read-aloud vocabulary instruction and investigated whether the effects differed for English-language learners (ELLs) and non-English-language learners (non-ELLs). Results indicate that although there was no added benefit of Multimedia-enhanced instruction for non-ELLs, there was a positive effect for ELLs on a researcher-designed measure and on a measure of general vocabulary knowledge. Furthermore, for children in the Multimedia-enhanced condition, the gap between non-ELLs and ELLs in knowledge of instructional words was closed, and the gap in general vocabulary knowledge was narrowed. The Multimedia Support did not negatively impact non-ELLs, indicating the potential of Multimedia-enhanced vocabulary instruction for ELLs in inclusive settings.

set top box control software a key component in digital video
Philips Journal of Research, 1996Co-Authors: Kamlesh Rath, James W WendorfAbstract:Abstract The emerging technologies of digital video and high-speed networks are combined together in a set-top box to provide a wide variety of value-added services to consumers. The control software in set-top boxes includes a real-time multi-tasking operating system with extensive Multimedia Support. Along with digital TV functionality, the control software provides an easy to use functional interface for set-top capabilities, such as MPEG decoding, high-speed broadband network interface, 2-way communications and graphics. An application-level software called the navigator performs basic TV functions and has the ability to download and execute interactive Multimedia applications from network servers.
