Telehealth program to help Latinas prepare for urogynecologic surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This project aims to enhance surgical preparedness among Latinas undergoing urogynecologic surgery through a telehealth intervention called TIPPS-Latina. The study involves three main aims: engaging community patient partners to guide research, developing the intervention using Human Centered Design methods, and pilot testing the intervention to assess its feasibility and implementation outcomes. The research will utilize a participatory action framework and mixed methods to gather insights and refine the intervention based on patient preferences. Surgical preparedness will be evaluated using a validated survey specifically designed for this population.
