Predictors of Recovery Expectancy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to identify factors that influence a person's expectations regarding recovery from pelvic organ prolapse surgery. This is important because a person's expectations regarding recovery from surgery help to predict how a person will actually recover. Our hypothesis is that women with multiple roles will have expectations of a longer surgical recovery time after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse after controlling for known predictors of recovery expectancies. Participants will complete a preoperative online survey. Additional online surveys will be send on postoperative days 14 and 42 to measure postdischarge surgical recovery.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery Patients Participants with greater than or equal to stage II pelvic organ prolapse who are scheduled for reconstructive surgery will be recruited. Participants will be asked to complete a preoperative online survey regarding their health, recovery expectancy, and different roles. Additional online surveys will be send on postoperative days 14 and 42 to measure postdischarge surgical recovery |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Recovery Expectancy [Participant will complete preoperative survey at 1 day (once surgery is scheduled).]
Expectation that recovery from surgery will be greater than 6 weeks from 0 to 100 percent where 100% indicates complete recovery within 6 weeks
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Post Discharge Recovery [Questionnaire will be completed on post op day #14]
Postdischarge Surgical Recovery Scale 13 which is validated tool for measuring postoperative recovery
- Post Discharge Recovery [Questionnaire will be completed on post op day #42]
Postdischarge Surgical Recovery Scale 13 which is validated tool for measuring postoperative recovery
