Patient Preparedness for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery (PREOP)
Patient Preparedness for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Preoperative Counseling

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
This will be a randomized controlled trial to assess patient preparedness following a preoperative counseling in person visit when compared to a preoperative counseling phone call.
Recruitment & Enrollment: Participants will be recruited and enrolled from the urogynecology office during their surgical planning visit. The study will be introduced at this visit and participants will have the opportunity to bring the consent home to review and consider their participation prior to signing.
Randomization: Participants will be block randomized in a 1:1 ratio in block size of 2. Randomization will be done by REDCap. The participant will not be blinded given the nature of the intervention. Additionally, the attending surgeon, fellow and office staff (advanced practice providers, research staff, medical assistants) will be aware of the randomization group as they will be participating in the preoperative intervention or perioperative clinical care.
Intervention: Both the preoperative counseling visit and preoperative phone call will contain the same components of discussion and counseling which include surgical details, risks and benefits, preoperative and postoperative instructions and expectations. The visit will take place in the urogynecology office and the visits and phone calls will be done by either a fellow or advanced practice provider, all of whom have extensive experience with the standardized preoperative visit.
Follow up: A postoperative phone call will be completed either POD#1 or POD#2 to remind the participant to complete their daily pain diary. Each participant will follow up for their standard postoperative visit approximately 4-6 weeks postoperative. All patients routinely receive a call on POD#1 from our nurses to assess how they are doing postoperatively. This phone call will continue unchanged for all participants.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Preoperative counseling office visit
Participants will present for an in-person preoperative counseling office visit (preoperative counseling session).
This will occur within a few weeks of surgery.
Preoperative counseling topics are standardized and will be identical with each arm.
|
All patients undergo a preoperative counseling session prior to surgery.
Participants in this arm will have an in person preoperative counseling office visit.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Patient preparedness
Time Frame: At postoperative visit (about 4-6 weeks after surgery)
|
The percent of patients reporting preparedness on Preoperative Preparedness Questionnaire.
Participants who answer "strongly agree" or "agree" to the statement "Overall, I felt prepared for my surgery" will be considered prepared.
This instrument is a 9-item questionnaire and scored on a 5-point Likert scale with answers ranging from "5=strongly disagree" to "1=strongly agree" with "3=neutral."
Therefore, scores of "1=strongly agree" or "2=agree" will be considered a positive answer for preparedness.
It was adopted from a study by Kenton et al in 2007.

At postoperative visit (about 4-6 weeks after surgery)
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Patient satisfaction: Decision Scale-Pelvic Floor Disorders questionnaire
Time Frame: At postoperative visit (about 4-6 weeks after surgery)
|
The percent of patients reporting satisfaction on the Satisfaction with Decision Scale-Pelvic Floor Disorders questionnaire.
This is a validated, 5-item questionnaire with answers on a 5-point likert scale with "1=strongly agree," "3=neutral" and "5=strongly disagree."
Answers of "1=strongly agree" or "2=agree" to the statement "I am satisfied with my decision" will be considered satisfied.
|
At postoperative visit (about 4-6 weeks after surgery)
|
Postoperative pain scores
Time Frame: Postoperative days #1-7
|
Postoperative pain scores on postoperative days #1-7 on a scale of 0-10.
Participants will complete a daily pain diary which will assess their pain score with 0=no pain and 10=worst pain imaginable.
|
Postoperative days #1-7
|
Postoperative narcotic use
Time Frame: Postoperative days #1-7
|
Postoperative narcotics used which will be assessed by the daily pain diary (question: "How many narcotic pills did you use today?" with the answer being the number of pills used that day).
|
Postoperative days #1-7
