IntroductionBackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of pre-surgical education on post-surgical outcomesPrevious research has shown that pre-surgical education can improve patient outcomesbut the evidence is limited and inconsistentImportanceImproving post-surgical outcomes is important because it can reduce the length of hospital staysimprove patient satisfaction, and decrease surgical complicationsEffective pre-surgical education can help patients understand their surgical procedures and prepare them for the recovery processObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of pre-surgical education on post-surgical outcomes in patients undergoing elective surgeryMethodsStudy DesignA prospectiverandomized controlled trial was conductedPatients scheduled to undergo elective surgery were randomly assigned to either the control group (standard pre-surgical education) or the intervention group (enhanced pre-surgical education)SettingThe study was conducted at a university hospital in the United StatesPopulationA total of 150 patients were included in the studywith 75 patients in each groupThe mean age of the patients was 55 yearsand the majority of patients were Caucasian (70%) and female (60%)InterventionThe intervention group received enhanced pre-surgical education that included a detailed discussion of the surgical procedurerisks and benefits, and a visit from a physical therapist who discussed the recovery process and provided education on exercises that could be done at homeThe control group received standard pre-surgical education that consisted of a brief discussion of the surgical procedure and risksOutcomesThe primary outcome measure was length of hospital stay. Secondary outcome measures included patient satisfactionpain scores, and surgical complicationsAnalysisAn intention-to-treat analysis was conducted to evaluate the effect of the intervention on the primary outcome measureSecondary outcomes were analyzed using chi-square tests or Mann-Whitney U testsdepending on the nature of the dataResultsPrimary OutcomeThe mean length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the intervention group compared to the control group (3.2 vs. 4.8 days; P < 0.01)This finding remained significant after adjusting for confounding variables such as agesex, and type of surgery (adjusted mean difference = 1.6 days; 95% CI: 0.8 to 2.4 days)Secondary OutcomesPatient satisfaction was higher in the intervention group compared to the control group (88% vs. 72%; P < 0.05)There were fewer surgical complications in the intervention group compared to the control group (16% vs. 32%; P < 0.05)Pain scores were similar between the two groups at dischargebut significantly lower in the intervention group at 1 month post-surgery (P < 0.05)DiscussionImplications of the FindingsThe results of this study suggest that enhanced pre-surgical education has a positive impact on post-surgical outcomesThe shorter hospital stayshigher patient satisfaction, and fewer surgical complications observed in the intervention group suggest that providing patients with detailed information about their surgical procedures and recovery process can improve outcomesLimitationsA potential limitation of this study is the lack of long-term follow-up data. It is unknown whether the observed benefits persist beyond the 1-month follow-up periodAnother limitation is the potential for bias due to the non-blinded nature of the study. Patients and researchers were not blinded to the group assignmentswhich may have introduced bias into the resultsRecommendations for Future ResearchFuture research should include long-term follow-up to assess the durability of the observed benefitsThe use of objective measures such as quality of life and functional outcomes should be incorporated into future studies to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of surgical outcomesThe development and evaluation of more innovative educational interventions that incorporate technology and patient preferences should be exploredConclusionIn conclusion, this study demonstrates that enhanced pre-surgical education results in improved post-surgical outcomes compared to standard pre-surgical education. The findings support the importance of providing patients with detailed information about their surgical procedures and recovery process. By enhancing pre-surgical education, healthcare providers can improve patient outcomes, reduce hospital stays, and surgical complications, and increase patient satisfaction.
