The Impact of a Redesigned Handout for Robotic Sacrocolpopexy on Patient Preoperative Preparedness and Satisfaction

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Pelvic Organ Prolapse; Patient Satisfaction

• Registration Number: NCT06934304
• Lead Sponsor: University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new preoperative handout for patients undergoing robotic sacrocolpopexy will improve patient sense of preparedness and satisfaction in comparison to the previously used handout. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the new preoperative handout for patients undergoing robotic sacrocolpopexy improve patient preparedness and satisfaction?

* Will the new preoperative handout for patients undergoing robotic sacrocolpopexy impact postoperative queries in the form of phone calls and messages to the clinic?

Participants will:

* Receive routine counseling regarding robotic sacrocolpopexy from their surgeon

* Be randomized to the new or old preoperative handout

* Undergo robotic sacrocolpopexy

* Complete a questionnaire at their 4 week postoperative follow up visit regarding their sense of preparedness for surgery and overall satisfaction

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Patient preparedness	Assessed at the postoperative visit 4 to 6 weeks after srugery	Patients sense of preparedness for robotic sacrocolpopexy was measured with a series of 5 point Likert style questions (ranging strongly disagree to strongly agree). Specifically, patients were asked how satisfied the were with 1) information provided by their surgeon, 2) time spent with the patient preparing them for surgery, 3) overall sense of sense of preparedness.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
patient satisfaction	4 week postoperatively	patient satisfaction for their overall experience undergoing robotic was assessed using a 5 point patient score. Scores ranged from extremely dissatisfied to extremely satisfied
