|---|---|---|
•Reducing patients’ anxiety and uncertainty are important issues in the practice of medicine. We developed a new method to educate patients in order to relieve patients’ anxiety and uncertainty about upcoming surgeries. Our method consisting of integrating mobile devices, education platforms and three measurements (the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale (MUIS), and a measure of satisfaction) were recorded pre and post-surgery.•Both experimental and control groups showed a significant decrease in STAI and MUIS scores after surgery, but the experimental group exhibited a greater decrease in anxiety and uncertainty.•Here we demonstrated that patients receiving newer education platform were more satisfied than those receiving conventional education or the currently available conventional education model. |
