Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to describe the biopsychosocial impact of caregivers in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, total hip arthroplasty, and cervical/thoracic/lumbar spine surgery.Defining such impacts may offer opportunities to enhance caregiver capability to provide care following surgery on a loved one.
Detailed Description
This is a pilot feasibility study with the goal of enrolling 50 caregivers in each surgical subgroup, with a total of 150 subjects. Caregivers for patients undergoing the above surgeries will be administered Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures preoperatively, 7 days postoperatively, 14 days postoperatively, and 1 month postoperatively. PROMIS item banks will include Global Health, Anxiety, Fatigue, Depression, Self Efficacy, Social Satisfaction, and Sleep Disturbance. If the caregiver reports the presence of persistent pain, Pain Interference and Physical Function will be administered.
