About this study

Official title: The Effect of Visual and Written Information Tools on Patient Controlled Analgesia Device Usage

This study is aimed to show the effect of information method on properly usage of the patient controlled analgesia(PCA) device

Read the detailed description

Postoperative pain is still a challenge for anesthesiologist. Patient controlled analgesia is an effective method for postoperative pain management. However, most of the patient can not use the device properly. The important cause of inabilities about device usage is insufficient information.In the patient information, visual, oral or written communication methods can be chosen. However, which method is suitable for our patient group is not clear.This study is aimed to show the effect of information method on properly usage of the patient controlled analgesia(PCA) device

Being tested
written form, video, routine care

writtenExperimentalThe written form which include the same knowledge will give to the patient for reading.
Receives: Other: written form
controlOtherThe anesthesiologist will describe the PCA usage as in the routine care to the control group patients.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pain Score

    Numeric rating scale (0 to 10) will be used for postoperative pain score

    Measured: At postoperative 24th hours.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Postoperative analgesic consumption

    Total opioid dosage will be recorded

    Measured: Up to the postoperative 24th hours.

  2. PCA device usage

    The number of demand dose

    Measured: During postoperative 24 hours

  3. PCA device demand dose duration

    The duration of the patients' demanding dose

    Measured: During postoperative 24hours

  4. Patient's satisfaction

    The numeric rating scale (0 to 10) will be used. In this scale 0 will be the worst, 10 will be the best satisfaction.

    Measured: At the postoperative 24th hours

  5. The change of the postoperative pain score

    Numeric rating scale (0 to 10) will be used to evaluate the pain score. The change in this score during postoperative 24 hours will be calculated.(the first score will be extracted from the last score)

    Measured: Up to the postoperative 24th hours.
