Pain Management and Safe Opioid Use
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine what patients currently know about opioids, including their role in pain management, side effects, risks of abuse, and proper storage and disposal. It is critical for patients to be properly informed about opioid usage in treating postoperative pain, but current gaps in patient knowledge are not well understood.
This study will help identify knowledge deficiencies and guide future patient education. Additionally, this study will examine possible patient factors that may be associated with these gaps. Evaluation of patient knowledge will be assessed through interviews conducted before patients' day of surgery.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Patient's knowledge about opioids based on a qualitative assessment [Prior to surgery]
Patient's answers to opioid-related questions will be summarized using grounded theory, and a comparative analytic strategy to categories. A PI-provided scoring manual will also be used to quantify the accuracy and level of patients' knowledge about opioids. Reference: Berkwits M, Inui TS. Making use of qualitative research techniques.
