Abstract

Introduction: Digital tools could assist obstetric providers by delivering information given increasing options for fetal aneuploidy screening.

Purpose: To determine the impact of a chatbot for pre-test education and counseling in low-risk pregnancies.

Methods: Two sites participated in this randomized controlled trial. Patients in the intervention group used a chatbot prior to the provider visit, while patients in the control group only received education by the provider. The primary outcome was change in patient knowledge scores after provider education. Analysis was by intention to treat.

Results: Overall, 258 women participated (n = 130; intervention and n = 128; control). Knowledge gain was significantly higher among patients using the chatbot (mean increase in correct answers [out of 20]: +4.1 vs +1.9, p < 0.001). Both groups reported high satisfaction, with no statistically significant difference between intervention and control groups (mean patient satisfaction [1-10]: 8.2 vs 8.5 respectively, p = 0.35). Providers also reported high satisfaction scores with no significant difference between intervention and control groups (mean provider satisfaction [1 - 10]: 8.7 vs 8.4 respectively, p = 0.13).

Conclusions: Pre-test education via a chatbot can increase patient knowledge of prenatal testing choices, with high patient and provider satisfaction.

聊天机器人用于产前非整倍体检测患者教育：一项多中心随机对照试验。

数字化工具可以通过提供胎儿非整倍体筛查更多选择的信息来帮助产科提供者。目的：探讨聊天机器人对低危妊娠孕前教育和咨询的影响。方法：随机对照试验分为两组。干预组患者在提供者访问之前使用聊天机器人，而对照组患者仅接受提供者的教育。主要结局是提供者教育后患者知识得分的变化。分析的目的是治疗。结果：总共有258名女性参与(n = 130；干预，n = 128；控制)。使用聊天机器人的患者的知识增长明显更高（正确答案的平均增长[满分20分]:+4.1 vs +1.9, p）。结论：通过聊天机器人进行的测试前教育可以增加患者对产前检查选择的知识，患者和提供者的满意度都很高。
