About

The purpose of this study is to identify factors that influence a person's expectations regarding recovery from pelvic organ prolapse surgery. This is important because a person's expectations regarding recovery from surgery help to predict how a person will actually recover. Our hypothesis is that women with multiple roles will have expectations of a longer surgical recovery time after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse after controlling for known predictors of recovery expectancies. Participants will complete a preoperative online survey. Additional online surveys will be send on postoperative days 14 and 42 to measure postdischarge surgical recovery.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery Patients

Description:

Participants with greater than or equal to stage II pelvic organ prolapse who are scheduled for reconstructive surgery will be recruited. Participants will be asked to complete a preoperative online survey regarding their health, recovery expectancy, and different roles. Additional online surveys will be send on postoperative days 14 and 42 to measure postdischarge surgical recovery
