Introduction: The bladder diary (BD) is a widely used diagnostic instrument. Its correct completion is essential for obtaining a reliable clinical impression. Previous studies reported problems with correctly completing the BD. This qualitative study investigated whether an animated fill-in instruction improves comprehension compared with a textual fill-in instruction. Material and methods: Adults assessed either a BD with the regular textual fill-in instruction (TBD) or a BD with an animated fill-in instruction (ABD). The thinking-aloud method and interviews were used. Predefined items were scored. Results: ABD participants had a better understanding of the BD than the TBD participants, especially participants with low levels of education. They scored better in naming micturition, fluid intake, incontinence and urge. Non-native speakers appreciated the visual support. Conclusion: Textual fill-in instructions for bladder diaries are difficult to understand for participants of all education levels because of terminology and layout. Animated fill-in instructions improve comprehension and completion quality and provide more reliable information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
