Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Methods. The proposal is for a two-group, assessor-blind, randomized trial including adult patients with colorectal diseases planned for surgical resection.
Participants will be randomly assigned into one of two groups:
1. usual perioperative education and audit, or
2. a mobile device application for postoperative education and self-audit.
The intervention will be delivered through a tablet present at the bedside with an application which links education, recovery planning, and daily self-assessment to a plan of care. It educates patients about daily recovery milestones and track their adherence. The primary outcome will be patient adherence to postoperative enhanced recovery elements. Other targeted outcomes include self-reported recovery, satisfaction and patient activation. According to an a priori power analysis, a sample of 104 patients (52 per group) is targeted for this trial.
Significance: This study will contribute evidence regarding the use of mobile device technology for education and the direct involvement of patients as stakeholders in postoperative recovery.
The study findings have the potential to increase patient engagement in the care pathway, which has the potential to increase compliance to pathway elements and improve postoperative outcomes.
