Brief Summary

This study is aimed to show the effect of information method on properly usage of the patient controlled analgesia(PCA) device

Detailed Description

Postoperative pain is still a challenge for anesthesiologist. Patient controlled analgesia is an effective method for postoperative pain management. However, most of the patient can not use the device properly. The important cause of inabilities about device usage is insufficient information.In the patient information, visual, oral or written communication methods can be chosen. However, which method is suitable for our patient group is not clear.This study is aimed to show the effect of information method on properly usage of the patient controlled analgesia(PCA) device

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
control	routine care	The anesthesiologist will describe the PCA usage as in the routine care to the control group patients.
written	written form	The written form which include the same knowledge will give to the patient for reading.
visual	video	The video about patient controlled analgesia device (PCA) usage will shown to the patients via notebook.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pain Score	At postoperative 24th hours.	Numeric rating scale (0 to 10) will be used for postoperative pain score

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Postoperative analgesic consumption	Up to the postoperative 24th hours.	Total opioid dosage will be recorded
PCA device usage	During postoperative 24 hours	The number of demand dose
PCA device demand dose duration	During postoperative 24hours	The duration of the patients' demanding dose
Patient's satisfaction	At the postoperative 24th hours	The numeric rating scale (0 to 10) will be used. In this scale 0 will be the worst, 10 will be the best satisfaction.
The change of the postoperative pain score	Up to the postoperative 24th hours.	Numeric rating scale (0 to 10) will be used to evaluate the pain score. The change in this score during postoperative 24 hours will be calculated.(the first score will be extracted from the last score)
