ABSTRACT: Objective
To compare effectiveness of a narrative-based educational video versus an informational pamphlet for increasing patients' self-efficacy and intention to taper their opioid use.Methods
Five thousand participants recruited from MTurk were screened to identify eligible patients. Eligible participants (n = 365, 49.9 % female, mean age = 37 years) were randomized to either watch the narrative video or read the pamphlet. Linear regression models were used for the main analysis.Results
Participants' perceptions of tapering effectiveness were higher in the video group (mean = 4.06) than the pamphlet group (mean = 3.67), adjusted mean difference = 0.34, 95 %CI 0.13 - 0.54,P < 0.001. Participants' perceptions of tapering self-efficacy were also higher in the video group (mean = 3.97) than the pamphlet group (mean = 3.60), adjusted mean difference = 0.32, 95 %CI 0.09 - 0.55, P < 0.001. Perceived tapering effectiveness and self-efficacy were both positively associated with post-intervention tapering intention (Spearman rank correlation coefficient = 0.38 and 0.53, respectively, both P < 0.001).Conclusion
A narrative-based video about opioid tapering enhanced patients' perceptions of the effectiveness of tapering and their tapering self-efficacy.Practice implications
Narrative-based videos may be effective for changing patient attitudes about opioid tapering.
