About

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an educational video about patients' perioperative experience (period that spans from the time of admission to the hospital to the time of recovery after surgery) will affect the timing of hospital discharge. The researchers will use information collected during this study to create a questionnaire and an educational video related to the patient perioperative experience. The educational video will address patient concerns about the perioperative period and recovery after surgery (post-operative recovery).

Description:

Phase I (completed 3/31/2021): A sample of patients in phase I will complete a qualitative interview prior to or after surgery. Twenty-five evaluable patients (15 pre-operatively and a separate 10 post-operatively) will be selected to participate in an in-person/phone interview. Phase II: A separate group of women will compose phase II. All patients (N = 100) in phase II will complete discrete-choice surveys. Patients in phase III of the study will be randomized evenly to usual care plus video or usual care only. Phase III: One hundred participants will be randomized via CRDB to receive standard pre-operative counseling or standard pre-operative counseling with the additional of an educational video. Those randomized to view the video will also complete the post-video survey. All patients will complete the post-op survey.
