Details and patient eligibility
About
This is a single-site, two-arm, parallel-group randomized clinical trial (RCT). The feasibility, acceptability, and clinical effects of the nurse-led, very brief, preoperative mindfulness based intervention for hip and knee replacement patients will be investigated relative to nurse-led preoperative pain psychoeducation.
A secondary sub-analysis will compare two different styles of mindfulness practice (mindfulness of breath vs. mindfulness of pain) relative to preoperative pain psychoeducation.
