An information booklet significantly improved patient satisfaction and understanding of joint replacement procedures. However, comprehension of potential complications remains an area for enhancement.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Patient Education
  • Healthcare Improvement

Background:

  • Joint replacement surgery requires comprehensive patient understanding for optimal outcomes.
  • Effective patient information is crucial for managing expectations and improving satisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of an informational booklet on patient satisfaction and understanding of joint replacement.
  • To identify areas of comprehension that require further improvement.

Main Methods:

  • Development and distribution of an information booklet to joint replacement patients.
  • Pre- and post-introduction postal questionnaires administered three months post-operation.
  • Analysis of patient satisfaction and understanding of procedure, management, and complications.

Main Results:

  • Patient satisfaction with provided information increased significantly from 54% to 82%.
  • A notable improvement was observed in patients' understanding of the joint replacement procedure and its management.
  • Only 53% of patients demonstrated full understanding of potential complications.

Conclusions:

  • Informational booklets are effective in enhancing patient satisfaction and procedural understanding for joint replacement surgery.
  • Despite improvements, patient comprehension of surgical complications requires targeted intervention.
  • Further strategies are needed to ensure patients fully understand the risks associated with joint replacement.
