Name	Time	Method
Difference in Answers to Pre & Post Teaching Questionnaires	approx. 1 - 2 hrs post-op	Assessing the difference in how parents answered the questionnaire before receiving any discharge instructions and the questionnaire after watching the video or receiving standard discharge instructions by the nurse. Parents completed pre-instruction and post-instruction assessments of their knowledge of post-operative pain management, with responses scored on a 0-8 scale by assigning 1 point to each correct response out of 8 multiple-choice questions. Higher difference score means that the parents answered more questions correctly after the teaching/video.
