简要总结
This study investigates the use of Google Translate "Conversation Mode" translation service to improve communication about pain and nausea with Spanish-speaking patients who are recovering after surgery. The Google Translate "Conversation Mode" translation application is designed to provide translation from one language to another and used to allow the nurse or study doctor to communicate with patients in Spanish by asking pre-prepared questions through an electronic device such as an iPad or iPhone. Google Translate "Conversation Mode" may facilitate assessment of pain and nausea after surgery in Spanish speaking patients.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the feasibility of Google Translate "Conversation Mode" use to assess postoperative surgical pain presence, location and intensity, and nausea presence and intensity in Spanish speaking patients in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
