On-Q Catheter Caregiver Education

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury, Pain; Catheter (Other), Satisfaction, Personal

In brief

The present study aims to compare caregiver satisfaction and efficacy between two modes of patient education materials (PEMs): media based and print based. The caregivers of patient's who undergo ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery and receive an On-Q Catheter pain block receive both a hand-out (print based PEM) and watch a short video (media-based PEM) describing how to care for their child's On-Q Catheter at home. Upon enrollment into the study, caregivers are randomly assigned to either first view the hand-out or the video, then complete a 10 questions standardized assessment of information that was presented in the PEMs. Caregivers are called the next day to assess caregiver satisfaction with the PEMs, which mode of PEM was more helpful to them, and how comfortable they felt managing their child's pain pump at home.
