Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare the increase in interest in engaging in advance care planning between two groups: those receiving information via video media and those receiving information via pamphlets.
METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 100 participants aged 18 to 60 years, who understood Thai and had no diagnosed psychiatric disorders or neurological conditions affecting consciousness, nor were they considered legally incompetent. The participants visited the Family Medicine Clinic at Vajira Hospital in 2024. The participants were screened using inclusion and exclusion criteria. The sample was divided using simple random sampling into two groups: 50 participants receiving information through a video and 50 participants receiving information through a pamphlet. Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire regarding their interest in engaging in advance care planning and organ donation. The level of interest was assessed using a five-point Likert scale, where a score of 5 indicates “very interested” and a score of 1 indicates “not interested”. The content validity of the questionnaire was evaluated by three medical experts, demonstrating an index of item objective congruence of 0.85. Afterward, they either watched the video or read the pamphlet and then immediately completed the same questionnaire.
RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the basic characteristics of both groups. The average score of interest in creating an advance directive and organ donation significantly increased in the experimental group (by 1.4 and 0.82 points, respectively) compared with the control group (by 0.38 and 0.16 points, respectively) (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: Providing information through video media was more effective in increasing interest in advance care planning and organ donation compared with providing information through pamphlets.
