(1092) Effectiveness of an induction of labor educational video on maternal knowledge

A total of 306 women were included in the study (153 per group). Groups had similar demographic characteristics and baseline knowledge (Table 1). In both groups, baseline knowledge was associated with higher education levels, greater household income, and more knowledge sources (r 0.1, 0.17, 0.2, respectively, p< 0.001). Following the educational video, overall knowledge improved significantly (p < 0.001) Knowledge improved in three of four domains including cervical ripening, induction duration, and induction indications (p < 0.001) (Figure 1). Interactions between knowledge, educational level and household income showed that knowledge improved regardless of education and/or income.   

Conclusion:

An educational video at time of IOL increased patients’ knowledge regarding IOL. Video education is beneficial in an inpatient setting, regardless of women’s demographic characteristics.
