About this study
Official title: The Influence of Postoperative Environment on Patient Satisfaction and Perception of Care Following Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery
This study is to determine if patients following prolapse repair including vaginal vault suspension have decreased pain measured via a visual analog scale (VAS) on postoperative day one and just prior to discharge when exposed to the diad of music and positive images compared to patients receiving standard care.
Read the detailed description
Over the past decade, interest has grown in improving the patient experience. As part of this movement, studies have sought to evaluate the mechanisms by which the postoperative environment affects a patient's outcome and perception of healing.
Literature review reveals efforts by both medical and design teams towards improving the experience of the patient and developing an environment that promotes healing. Changes to the physical environment have been shown to have an impact on satisfaction. These parameters have included music and art. Considering the effort that is now going into improving the patient experience and developing this theory of healing spaces, there has yet to be a randomized controlled trial evaluating these alternative therapies in the urogynecologic patient population. Although each of these modalities appears beneficial, we believe that a combination of these would be even more useful. Indeed, these treatments are also relatively easy to implement without undue cost or burden to the hospital. This study seeks to determine the influence of applying music and art to the post operative environment for patients recovering from major urogynecologic surgery on pain.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
music and positive imagesOther
The diad of misic and positive image will be administered to the standard care by adding a Bluetooth capable speaker with selections of music and a soothing nature landscape into the hospital room.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention group | Experimental | Those patients randomized to intervention group will be exposed to the diad of music and positive images in a private hospital room in addition to receiving standard care. Receives: Other: music and positive images |
| Control group | No intervention | Those patients randomized to control group will receiving standard care in a private hospital room with an un-modified post operative environment. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score for Pain
VAS score for pain administered following breakfast on post-operative day one. The VAS was100 millimeter (mm) scale with 'no pain' on the far left represented as 0 mm and 'most pain' on the far right equating to 100 mm.
Measured: following breakfast on Post-operative day one
