Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the extent of information patients want or need before surgery.
  • To emphasize proactive information sharing by healthcare providers.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of personal clinical experience.
  • Qualitative analysis of patient information-seeking behaviors.

Main Results:

  • Patient information needs vary significantly.
