Detaljeret beskrivelse
This study design will be a pilot randomized controlled trial. Consent for this study will be obtained within the circle of care immediately before the patient is discharged home following surgery. The families will be instructed to contact the NP by telephone with any post-operative questions or concerns they have about their child. Once the family initiates contact with the NP, they will be randomized into either the experimental (PEC) group or the control (TTC) group.
Once randomization has occurred, the NP will obtain all necessary information from the parent by addressing all points in expertise based script developed by the Pediatric Urology Team for both groups. Those randomized to the control group (TTC) will be provided recommendations based on information obtained during the standard telephone call. Families who are randomized into the PEC (experimental) group will be required to send a digital photograph of the child's surgical site to the professional email address of NP. Should they agree to send digital photographs they will be required to give consent for email correspondence, which will be emailed to them by the NP. Once they have consented they may send digital photographs to the NP of their child's surgical site, which will be assessed by both NPs using an expertise-based assessment tool. This information will be entered into REDCap. The NPs will come to a unanimous decision regarding advice to be provided and this will be communicated to the parents. Upon completion of the interaction with the NP the RA will contact the family to complete the family/patient experience survey over the telephone. Family/patient experience will be measured using an adapted validated tool "Nurse Practitioner Satisfaction Survey" consisting of 10 questions directly related to telephone interaction with the NP. This survey consists of a Likert Scale with scores ranging from 1-5 with 5 being the most positive response. Follow up telephone calls for both groups will be logged in MediTech as well as the RedCAP database. All telephone calls will be documented within the MediTech system and included in patient's chart in order to maintain current standard of care. All digital photos will be printed and placed in the patient's chart and deleted from the email server, which is the current process for those engaging in PEC.
Recruitment for this study will occur for 7 months with the aim of recruiting 40 patients per arm in order to obtain the feasibility data. However, a sample size calculation has been carried out and assuming 75% power and an alpha error of 5% using a one sided test, the required sample size to answer the definitive research question is 114 patients per group.
Data will be analyzed by comparing the number of ED and unplanned clinic visits for both groups, as well as the number of follow up phone calls received. This will be done using descriptive statistics and a t-test for independent means. Family/patient experience will also be measured between the two groups (PEC and TTC) using descriptive statistics and a t-test for independent means. Subgroup analysis will be done to determine which subgroup of post-operative patients benefit most from PEC (i.e., penile surgeries).
