    Area of Science:

    • Health Sciences
    • Medical Education
    • Patient Care

    Background:

    • Preoperative education is standard practice for surgical patients.
    • Its effectiveness on patient knowledge and understanding has not been comprehensively reviewed.
    • Existing research focuses on various delivery methods and outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To synthesize evidence on preoperative patient education's impact on knowledge retention and postoperative activity performance.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of different educational formats and timing.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of randomized controlled trials involving adult surgical patients.
    • Included studies evaluated various preoperative education methods (pamphlets, videos, instruction).
    • Primary outcomes focused on patient understanding and ability to perform postoperative tasks.

    Main Results:

    • Pamphlets effectively inform patients and enhance their skills.
    • Preoperative videos show potential for improving patient knowledge and skills.
    • Instructional methods improve patient knowledge and compliance, especially when provided pre-admission.

    Conclusions:

    • While pamphlets and instruction show benefits, high-quality research on their effectiveness is limited.
    • Further research is needed to assess materials for diverse populations and the accuracy of information.
    • The role of videos and the impact on patient misconceptions require further investigation.
