Clinical Trial Summary

Symptomatic knee osteoarthritis greatly impacts the quality of life, mobility, independence, and even safety of the individuals who suffer from it. One of the most powerful tools for these patients can be education on self-care and self-management strategies that can be taught to a patient by a physician, physical or occupational therapist, or a nurse. These self-management strategies can help patients treat daily stiffness through exercise or manage flares of osteoarthritis. There is a lack of consensus on the best teaching methods to accomplish the goal of educating our patients. Feedback from both patients and providers regarding teaching methods is needed. This study will evaluate teaching methods on self-management strategies for patients who are undergoing hyaluronic acid injections for knee osteoarthritis.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Patient Satisfaction With the Teaching Method	Satisfaction will be assessed using a 0-10 scale, where 0=not satisfied and 10=most satisfied. The higher the score, the greater the satisfaction.	1 month post-injection
Primary	Provider Satisfaction With the Teaching Method	Satisfaction will be assessed using a 0-10 scale, where 0=not satisfied and 10=most satisfied. The higher the score, the greater the satisfaction.	1 month post-injection
Primary	Patient Satisfaction With the Teaching Method	Satisfaction will be assessed using a 0-10 scale, where 0=not satisfied and 10=most satisfied. The higher the score, the greater the satisfaction.	3 months post-injection
Secondary	Number of Patients Who Would Have Preferred a Different Method of Receiving Education.	Patient will be asked: "Would you have preferred a different method of receiving education?"	3 months post-injection
Secondary	Number of Patients Who Believed That the Education They Received Helped With the Care of Their Osteoarthritis	Patient will be asked: "Did the education you received help with the care of your osteoarthritis?"	3 months post-injection
Secondary	PROMIS Physical Health Score	The physical health score will be surveyed using the PROMIS-10 global health questionnaire. A higher score indicates better physical health. Scores range from 16.2 to 67.7.	3 months post-injection
