简要总结
More and more people are surviving emergency, life-threatening illnesses. However, survival often comes at a cost to patients' wellbeing. Many suffer from being so ill in ways not necessarily related to their original illness. Patients struggle with their normal activities of daily living or to do the job they did before. They struggle to live independently, to enjoy a normal diet, or to be pain-free. This leads to a decrease in their quality of life, placing a burden on families. Investigators don't have a good method of highlighting and representing the issues faced by these patients. Investigators have recently implemented a service innovation project, using an an app-based questionnaire in two groups (patients that survive emergency surgery, and those who survive critical illness) to highlight these problems early, so that individuals are offered the right help and services to return to living their lives as fully as possible. Patients will be asked to fill in an electronic (on-line) questionnaire while in hospital, and at 1 and 6 months afterwards.
Along side this investigators intend to perform a qualitative assessment of the value and acceptability of this project. Investigators will interview patients approximately 2-3 weeks after the questionnaire completion at 1 and 6 months to determine how easy it was to use, how acceptable the process was and how well it described and highlighted their problems.
If this system works, it would become part of routine care, extended to patients admitted as emergencies to hospital, and used to develop a national program for all UK hospital patients
详细描述
This is a qualitative study, with data collected through semi-structured interviews with patients and clinical staff with experience of using the ePRO system. Topic guides for both patients and clinicians have been developed based upon previous similar studies and with input from our study PPI group.
The patients for qualitative study will be consented by the coordinator. This will be done when the patients are invited to participate in the PROSPER study. The ePRO project is a service evaluation project registered with the Clinical Effectiveness Unit (CEU). The sample for qualitative study will be based on age, gender, ethnicity, language spoken, digital literacy and reason for admission. Patients who consent to participate will be interviewed twice about their experience of using the ePRO system. Interviews will be done approximately 2-3 weeks after the ePRO questionnaire completion time points of 1 and 6 months respectively. Interviews will follow the interview topic guide, with semi-structured questions exploring both the research objectives as above, will be conducted on the telephone and will be audio recorded and transcribed. Clinicians and health care staff will also be interviewed to assess their perception of usefulness of the electronic questionnaires.

主要结局
This is a qualitative study exploring the feasibility and acceptability of the electronic HRQoL
时间窗: 6 months to one year
Purposive sampling will be carried out on the patient population those filling in online questionnaires and health care staff involved in patient care. Their views will be recorded to assess the suitability and acceptability of the digital questionnaires. The outcome will be responses to the semi structured interview. These data will be analysed to derive themes, using the saturation method. Since August 2024, we have introduced an online questionnaire based on the feedback of a few patients.
