title: [Preoperative Information: What Do Patients Want to Know?].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Aimed at supporting patient information, media forms were developed. While doing so patient views were predominantly not considered. Moreover, for one of the most common surgical procedures, herniated disk surgery, there rarely exists appropriate information material.
  
  
  METHODS
  29 people with experience of back pain were recruited to participate in focus group interviews, where conditions of satisfying consultations and needs regarding the design of an education film for herniated disk surgery were analysed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Frame conditions, desired education media and factors relating to the physician compose three complexes of general satisfaction criteria. Needs in terms of form and content design of an education film were discussed and registered in detail.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Existing guidelines considering patient education are extensively consistent with patients' desires and should be implemented obligatorily. The use of audio-visual media as well as medical students' and physicians' training in soft skills requires expansion.
