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.

    Arms and Interventions

    Arm Intervention/Treatment
    Patients undergoing total hip replacement

    Patients at HSS Main Campus undergoing primary total hip replacement surgery, age range between 18 and 80 years old, and English speaking

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. 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.

    6. Previous opioid usage [Prior to surgery]

      Is the previous opioid usage of patient associated with patients' knowledge of opioids

    7. Education level [Prior to surgery]
