简要总结
This is a prospective, single-center, randomized control study to determine if video education at the time of postpartum discharge improves patient knowledge on the warning signs for the top three causes of severe maternal morbidity (infection, hemorrhage, and blood pressure disorders) in the first seven days following delivery for self-identified, Black, Latinx, other with two or more self-identified races, Medicaid, and/or uninsured postpartum individuals. Participants will be randomized to written discharge education + video education (intervention) vs standard discharge education (control). They will complete a baseline questionnaire and a post-discharge education questionnaire during their postpartum stay to assess for knowledge improvement. The investigators hypothesize that video education will improve patient's knowledge of severe maternal morbidity warning signs.
详细描述
Prior to the day of postpartum discharge, a designated staff person will approach eligible patients and review the objectives of the study. If patients are willing to participate, they will complete a consent form and the baseline questionnaire. The baseline questionnaire will assess patient knowledge on postpartum hemorrhage, infection, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and depression.
Following delivery, patients will be randomized. Randomization will be done in a 1:1 allocation ratio between written discharge instructions + video education vs. written discharge instructions (standard of care at WCM). A computer algorithm will assign participant based on random permuted blocks design with block size between 2-4. Each participant will have an assigned Study ID number that is linked to their random assignment. Group 1 will be the written discharge + video education group (intervention group). Group 2 will be the written discharge education (control group).
On the day of discharge, the nursing staff will provide discharge education based on their randomized group:
Group 1 will be the written discharge education + video education group (intervention group). These patients will view a 12-minute educational video on SMM warning signs, in addition to the written discharge instructions provided by nursing staff. At the completion of the video, they will complete a post-video questionnaire to assess their knowledge on the covered topics.
Group 2 will be the written discharge instruction group (control group). They will receive the written discharge instructions provided by nursing staff and complete the post-discharge instruction questionnaire.

研究组 & 干预措施
Written Discharge Education + Video Education
These patients will view a 12-minute educational video on SMM warning signs, in addition to the written discharge instructions provided by nursing staff. At the completion of the video, they will complete a post-video questionnaire to assess their knowledge on the covered topics.
干预措施: Video Education (Other)
Written Discharge Education
They will receive the written discharge instructions provided by nursing staff and complete the post-discharge instruction questionnaire.
结局指标
主要结局
Change in baseline and post-education questionnaire score
时间窗: Baseline, post-discharge (up to one week)
Patients will complete a baseline and post-discharge education 15 item questionnaire that will assess knowledge on postpartum hemorrhage, infection, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and depression. The questionnaire will be scored 0-15 based on the number of correct responses. A lower score indicates lower knowledge, while a higher score indicates a better knowledge of the subject items. Outcome will be binary based on whether or not the patient improved their score between the two questionnaires.
次要结局
- Change in post-education and post-discharge questionnaire score(3-7 days)
- Number of participants who attended 6 week postpartum visit(6 weeks)
- Healthcare utilization: Number of urgent care/emergency room visits(6 weeks)
- Healthcare utilization: Number of clinic visits(6 weeks)
- Mean difference in patient satisfaction rating(Discharge (day 1 of study))
- Healthcare utilization: Number of phone calls(6 weeks)
