Background  Angiography is a highly effective invasive method for diagnosing coronary artery diseases but can lead to certain psychological problems such as stress, anxiety, and depression. This study aimed to compare the effects of education delivery through multimedia DVD content or text messaging in comparison with conventional printed pamphlets on the psychological parameters of patients scheduled for angiography.    Methods  This study was a randomized controlled clinical trial. We used the convenience sampling method to select 120 patients who met the inclusion criteria among individuals who were scheduled for elective coronary angiography. The patients were randomly divided into three groups through the block randomization method. The necessary educational tips for before, during, and after the angiography procedure were delivered to the patients in interventional group 1 (n = 40) and interventional group 2 (n = 40) through text messages and a multimedia DVD, respectively. The control group received routine hospital education through pamphlets besides the opportunity for verbal discussions with nurses. All educational content was delivered to the patients four days before the scheduled day of angiography. The DASS-21 questionnaire, consisting of the three domains of stress, anxiety, and depression, was used to collect the data. The questionnaire was administered at the time of delivering the educational content as the pretest evaluation and 30 min after the angiography procedure as the posttest evaluation. SPSS software, version 18, was used for statistical analysis.    Results  There was no significant difference among the three groups of patients in terms of pretest DASS-21 scores. Conversely, the mean posttest scores in all DASS-21 domains were significantly lower among the patients receiving education via the multimedia DVD or text messaging in comparison with the control group ( P  < 0.001). However, there were no statistically significant differences between the mean scores in all domains between the participants in the DVD and text messaging groups.    Conclusion  It seems that both DVDs and text messaging are more effective than conventional pamphlets in controlling the anxiety, stress, and stress of patients scheduled for elective coronary artery angiography.
