    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Patient Education
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Hospital-developed patient education materials for surgery vary in quality.
    • Existing materials often rely on "common sense" rather than empirical data.
    • Effectiveness of current patient education interventions is inconsistent.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To empirically assess the concerns and needs of patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy (TURP).
    • To identify specific information requirements for improving patient education materials related to TURP.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey data collected from 73 men who underwent transurethral prostatectomy.
    • Data also collected from 32 wives of patients who underwent the procedure.
    • Analysis of patient and spousal perspectives on the surgical experience.

    Main Results:

    • Patients desired more detailed information regarding medical and sexual consequences of surgery.
    • Written information, clear post-operative "do's and don'ts," and reassurance about normal recovery were highly valued.
    • Identified helpful and distressing aspects of the surgical experience.

    Conclusions:

    • Patient education materials for transurethral prostatectomy should prioritize information on surgical consequences, including sexual health.
    • Clear, written recovery guidance and psychological reassurance are crucial for a positive patient experience.
    • Empirical data should guide the development of patient education to enhance surgical preparedness and recovery.
