NCT06265376 | Completed

Brief Summary

The use of multi-model patient education has been used in a variety of medical specialties to educate patients on expectations for various medical procedures and improve patients' understanding of their own health care. However, it is unknown what type of audio and/or visual materials work best in a given clinical setting. By surveying overall pain/post-operative recovery satisfaction we can measure how well our video intervention educates and reinforces post-operative management at home when compared to the current method of education that patients receive at the pre-operative visit prior to laparoscopic hysterectomy at this institution.

Conditions

Pain, Postoperative

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Overall satisfaction score (5 point Likert scale) with post operative pain control after laparoscopic hysterectomy

  To determine if video education on post-operative pain management and expectations can improve patients' overall satisfaction with post operative pain control after laparoscopic hysterectomy

  Within 10 days post surgery

Secondary Outcomes (9)

• Pain score at the time of survey completion (0=no pain 10=worst pain

  Within 10 days post surgery

• Average pain score for the first 7 days as perceived by the patients (likert scale)

  Within 10 days post surgery

• Number of post-op phone calls received

  Within 10 days post surgery

• Number of post-op emergency room visits

  Within 10 days post surgery

• Number of readmissions

  Within 10 days post surgery
