NCT06011538

Brief Summary

Objectives: To evaluate the potential utility and efficacy of additional on-line, patient education resource for same day discharge following laparoscopic hysterectomy (SDD LH) compared to standard information resources alone Trial Design: A pilot, parallel, open, single centre, randomised controlled trial Participant Population and Sample Size: 40 women undergoing SDD LH for a benign reason Eligibility Criteria: Women with gynaecological conditions requiring a laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) and who are suitable for same day discharge (SDD). Interventions: An online patient education website resource and the comparator is standard practice for provision of patient information (written and verbal). Outcome Measures: Primary

  • Compliance with SDD Secondary
  • In Hospital: o Surgical details / complexity / intraoperative and post-operative serious adverse events (SAEs) according to the Clavien-Dindo system grade II-IV which is a widely used index for the classification of surgical complications \[case notes and electronic patient record\], and time to discharge
  • 6 weeks:
  • Satisfaction, acceptability and utility of patient education / information provided (bespoke patient questionnaire; Likert scales)
  • Satisfaction with care after LH (6-point Likert)
  • Generic quality of life at 6 weeks post-surgery (EuroQol-5D-5L and VAS);
  • Contact with Community \& Clinical Care Services i.e. outpatients or emergency visits, re-presentations / re-admissions to hospital (Case report form \[CRF\], case notes, electronic patient record)
  • Serious Adverse Events (CRF, case notes, electronic patient record)
  • Time from surgery to resumption of usual activities using the PROMIS-SF (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function) questionnaire (Modified items / response categories)
  • 12 weeks:
  • Time from surgery to resumption of usual activities using the PROMIS-SF (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function) questionnaire (Modified items / response categories) Time to return to work (if working)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Same Day Discharge following laparoscopic hysterectomy (0-23hours)

    This means that the patient is discharged (leaves the hospital) before midnight on the day of surgery (case notes / electronic patient record).

    0-24hours following surgery

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Satisfaction with care on discharge (bespoke patient questionnaire score)

    0-24hours following surgery

  • Acceptability and utility of patient education / information provided (score)

    6 weeks

  • Satisfaction with clinical outcome after laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) (score)

    6 weeks

  • Satisfaction with care on discharge (score)

    6 weeks

  • Generic quality of life post-surgery (score)

    6 weeks

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

On-line SDD LH website resource (intervention)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients allocated the experimental arm will be provided with the link to the SDD LH patient information website (https://www.mydaycasehysterectomy.com).The option of this educational material will be in addition to the standard verbal and written patient information provided by the BWCH.

Other: On-line, multi-media information on a specifically designed website for Same Day Discharge following Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Standard practice for information provision (control)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients allocated the control group will receive standard BWCH information only.

Other: On-line, multi-media information on a specifically designed website for Same Day Discharge following Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Interventions

A patient educational website that provides clear, easily accessible, patient friendly information explaining what SDD after laparoscopic hysterectomy is, why SDD may be beneficial and what to expect from decision for surgery, through to the admission to hospital and immediate, short and long term recovery.
