Improving patient information on post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) significantly boosted satisfaction. Audits and a new leaflet led to 86% of patients receiving information, reducing the need for further improvements.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Patient Information
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common patient concern.
  • Inadequate information provision can lead to patient dissatisfaction.
  • Auditing and improving patient education strategies are crucial in healthcare settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the level of information patients received regarding PONV.
  • To identify opportunities for enhancing patient education on PONV.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a newly developed patient information leaflet.

Main Methods:

  • Initial audit of 140 post-operative patients regarding PONV information.
  • Development and piloting of a patient information leaflet.

  • Implementation of an education policy and staff training.
  • Second audit of 150 post-operative patients to assess changes.

    • Main Results:

    • First audit: Half of patients received no PONV information; leaflet deemed useful.
    • Second audit: 86% of patients received information; leaflet usage increased.
    • Patient satisfaction improved, with 80% no longer prioritizing information improvement.

    Conclusions:

    • Auditing information provision for PONV is effective in improving patient education.
    • A structured approach, including patient leaflets and staff training, enhances satisfaction.
    • Addressing information gaps significantly improves the patient experience post-surgery.
