简要总结
This is a randomized clinical trial comparing the severity of post-operative pain and use of pain medication in women who are and are not exposed to healing statements before undergoing vaginal hysterectomy with minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy. The investigators' hypothesis is that those who are read healing statements before surgery will require less post-operative pain medications and experience less severe pain than those who do not hear the statements.
详细描述
This is a randomized controlled trial of women undergoing vaginal hysterectomy with minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy. Eligible patients will be approached for study participation after they have decided to proceed with the vaginal hysterectomy with minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy. After enrollment, demographics including age, race, prolapse stage, and medical history will be collected. Before vaginal hysterectomy with minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy in the OR, they will be randomized to the group that will be read healing statements or to the group without healing statements. Women randomized to the healing statement group will have the following statements read to them by a trained research staff member, using Peggy Huddleston's technique. Before the patient is placed under general anesthesia, the study staff member will repeat 5 times:
"Following this operation, [the participant] will feel very comfortable and [the participant] will heal very well"
Toward the end of the surgery, the study staff member will say 5 times:
"The operation has gone very well." "Following the operation, [the participant] will be hungry. [The participant] will be thirsty and urinate easily."
Prior to reading these statements to the patient, the research staff member will listen to a previously recorded audio sample of how the statements should be read with regard to tone of voice and attitude.

研究组 & 干预措施
Healing Statements
Patients in the healing statements group will be read healing statements during anesthesia induction, prior to undergoing surgery.
干预措施: Healing Statements (Other)
No Healing Statements
Patients in the no healing statements group will not be read healing statements during anesthesia induction prior to undergoing surgery. They will receive standard of care.
