What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the impact of an educational video on patients' perioperative experiences during minimally invasive hysterectomy. Participants will receive usual care along with the video, which addresses common concerns about the perioperative period and recovery. The goal is to determine if this intervention can influence the timing of hospital discharge. Data collected will also be used to develop a questionnaire to further enhance patient education.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are women aged 18 and older scheduled for minimally invasive hysterectomy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Not a fit: Patients who are unable to speak and read English may not benefit from this study due to the language requirements.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved patient understanding and potentially faster recovery times after surgery.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown that educational interventions can positively impact patient outcomes, suggesting this approach may be beneficial.
