结局指标
主要结局
Patient satisfaction scores
时间窗: Subjects will be expected to mail the feedback forms within 2 weeks of discharge. Investigators will mail a single reminder prepaid return mail with a copy of the questionnaire to patients who do not respond within this time allowing 1 month total time.
The patients will answer a survey consisting of seven multiple-choice questions regarding their perception of the education intervention. Each questions will be scored on a scale of one to four for a total possible score of 28 for all 7 questions. A score of 1 indicates a negative perception of the education whereas 4 indicates the most positive impression. Therefore the lowest possible score is 7 for a severely negative perception of the education and the highest score is 28 for a very positive impression of the education program. Only the total scores will be compared for statistical analysis. Scores from patients in the current standard and new personalized education intervention groups will be compared.
