Clinical Trial Summary

The use of multi-model patient education has been used in a variety of medical specialties to educate patients on expectations for various medical procedures and improve patients' understanding of their own health care. However, it is unknown what type of audio and/or visual materials work best in a given clinical setting. By surveying overall pain/post-operative recovery satisfaction we can measure how well our video intervention educates and reinforces post-operative management at home when compared to the current method of education that patients receive at the pre-operative visit prior to laparoscopic hysterectomy at this institution.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Overall satisfaction score (5 point Likert scale) with post operative pain control after laparoscopic hysterectomy	To determine if video education on post-operative pain management and expectations can improve patients' overall satisfaction with post operative pain control after laparoscopic hysterectomy	Within 10 days post surgery
Secondary	Pain score at the time of survey completion (0=no pain 10=worst pain	To determine if video education on post-operative pain management and expectations improves patient post operative pain scores at the time of post-op phone call	Within 10 days post surgery
Secondary	Average pain score for the first 7 days as perceived by the patients (likert scale)	To determine if video education on post-operative pain management and expectations improves patient perceived post operative pain control throughout the first 7 day post-op	Within 10 days post surgery
Secondary	Number of post-op phone calls received	To determine if video education on post-operative pain management and expectations decreases the number of post- operative phone calls received by providers during the first week post-op	Within 10 days post surgery
Secondary	Number of post-op emergency room visits	To determine if video education on post-operative pain management and expectations decreases the number of post- operative emergency room visits by patients during the first week post-op	Within 10 days post surgery
Secondary	Number of readmissions	To determine if video education on post-operative pain management and expectations decreases the number of postoperative readmissions by patients during the first week post-op	Within 10 days post surgery
Secondary	Number of patients with steri-strips still in place	To determine if video education on post-operative pain management and expectations decreases the number of patients who have not removed their steri-strips by day 7	Within 10 days post surgery
Secondary	Number opioids taken since surgery	To determine if video education on post-operative pain management and expectations decreased the number of narcotics used post-operatively	Within 10 days post surgery
Secondary	Overall satisfaction with pre-operative education regarding surgery (5 point Likert scale)	To determine if video education on post-operative pain management and expectations improves overall satisfaction with pre-operative education regarding surgery	Within 10 days post surgery
Secondary	ding surgery (5 point likert scale) Overall satisfaction with educations regarding what to expect post-operatively (5 point Likert scale)	To determine if video education on post-operative pain management and expectations improves overall satisfaction with educations regarding what to expect post-operatively	Within 10 days post surgery
