简要总结
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the value and effectiveness of a newly-implemented preoperative education class for patients undergoing colorectal surgery.
详细描述
This is a non-randomized study to be conducted in a cohort of patients who are scheduled to undergo colorectal surgical procedures at Carolinas Medical Center (CMC)-Main. The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of preoperative education classes on postoperative compliance with mobilization guidelines. Secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect of the preoperative education class on patient knowledge, anxiety, and satisfaction, and postoperative outcomes such as inpatient length of stay, postoperative complications, and 30-day readmission rates. Data will be compared between patients who are scheduled to attend the class and attend and those who are scheduled to attend the class and do not.
