An interventional study of Counselling with NSQIP Surgical risk calculator in Satisfaction, Patient, sponsored by Nepal Mediciti Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Nepal. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-10-31.
Sponsored by Nepal Mediciti Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
Surgical patients undergo preoperative counseling which varies in quality and duration. Proper communication during the preoperative consultation can deliver relevant health information and guide improvement of perioperative health status. The methods, however, are non-standardized and the explanation of the postoperative course is generally vague or varies from person to person. We hypothesize that high-risk patients who receive pre-operative counseling with the help of the NSQIP surgical risk calculator compared to the current standard of care will have higher satisfaction concerning information on the perioperative journey.
The control arm will receive standard preoperative counselling and written consent will be taken.
The NSQIP arm will receive standard preoperative counselling along with the details provided by NSQIP Surgical risk calculator and written consent will be taken.
Anxiety among the patients will be accessed with the use of Preoperative anxiety measured by Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) questionnaire written in Nepali.
Duration of counselling period will be noted from the start of counselling session till the consent is signed.
