Surgical patients desire surgeon-led preparation, prioritizing information on the operation and recovery over risks. Establishing a trusting relationship with the surgeon is key for patient satisfaction and better surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Patient Psychology
  • Surgical Communication

Context:

  • Current presurgical information practices often overlook patient psychological needs, focusing instead on legal and hospital requirements.
  • A study investigated the information needs of 60 patients undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery.

Purpose:

  • To explore patient preferences for presurgical information delivery and content.
  • To identify optimal timing and methods for providing essential surgical information.

Summary:

  • A semi-structured interview with a novel card system revealed that 83.3% of patients prefer surgeon-led oral preparation.
  • Patients showed greater interest in details about the operation and recovery (43.3% each) compared to risks (33.3%).
  • Only 11.7% of patients desired psychological preparation, highlighting the importance of the surgeon-patient relationship.
