Do Patient Educational Videos Improve Pain and Recovery After Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Pain, Postoperative
• Interventions: Behavioral: Educational Video

• Registration Number: NCT06265376
• Lead Sponsor: Benaroya Research Institute

Brief 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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Educational Video Intervention	Educational Video	Participants have been randomly selected into this arm to receive intervention via the educational video in addition to regular treatment and recovery options.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Overall satisfaction score (5 point Likert scale) with post operative pain control after laparoscopic hysterectomy	Within 10 days post surgery	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

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of post-op emergency room visits	Within 10 days post surgery	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
Number of readmissions	Within 10 days post surgery	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
Pain score at the time of survey completion (0=no pain 10=worst pain	Within 10 days post surgery	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
Average pain score for the first 7 days as perceived by the patients (likert scale)	Within 10 days post surgery	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
Number of post-op phone calls received	Within 10 days post surgery	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
Number of patients with steri-strips still in place	Within 10 days post surgery	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
Number opioids taken since surgery	Within 10 days post surgery	To determine if video education on post-operative pain management and expectations decreased the number of narcotics used post-operatively
Overall satisfaction with pre-operative education regarding surgery (5 point Likert scale)	Within 10 days post surgery	To determine if video education on post-operative pain management and expectations improves overall satisfaction with pre-operative education regarding surgery
ding surgery (5 point likert scale) Overall satisfaction with educations regarding what to expect post-operatively (5 point Likert scale)	Within 10 days post surgery	To determine if video education on post-operative pain management and expectations improves overall satisfaction with educations regarding what to expect post-operatively
