Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change From Baseline to Follow-up in Health Related Quality of Life

    The 15D is a generic, comprehensive, 15-dimensional, standardized, self-administered measure of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) that can be used both as a profile and single index score measure. The 15 dimensions are: mobility, vision, hearing, breathing, sleeping, eating, speech, excretion, usual activities, mental functioning, discomfort and symptoms, depression, distress, vitality, and sexual activity The respondent chooses one of the five levels for each dimension that best describes his or her state of health at present moment; the best level is 1 and the worst is 5. The single index score (15D score), representing the overall HRQoL on a 0-1 scale (1=full health, 0=being dead). The results in Outcome Measure Data Table describe the changes from baseline to follow-up within the intervention group and the control group.

    Baseline and at 3 months follow up

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in Surgery-related STATE Anxiety From Baseline to Follow-up

    Baseline and at 3 months follow-up

  • Quality of Perioperative Care as Experienced by Surgical Patients

    One-point measurement on the day of discharge (on average on the 3rd day after surgery)

  • Change in Surgery-related TRAIT Anxiety From Baseline to Follow-up

    Baseline and at 3 months follow-up
