Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators aim to evaluate the improvement of the inpatient experience and the usability of a content-based tool (a brochure). This involves consolidating video content for inpatients on a single website and providing access to it via QR codes in a brochure format.

\[Patients\] Considering this as a pilot study, the investigators plan to recruit around 30 participants. Both the experimental and control groups will receive standard care and information, with the experimental group additionally receiving the brochure. Random assignment will be used for the experimental and control groups. Surveys and interviews will be conducted to assess changes in patient experience and usability before and after providing the brochure.

\[Medical Staff\] Among the medical staff involved in the liver transplant surgical process, researchers will select participants based on their degree of involvement with the intervention subjects. After obtaining their consent, interviews will be conducted concerning patient experiences and the brochure.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control Group

1. The group assigned as the control group will receive information in the same manner as it is currently provided to patients.
2. A survey related to patient experience evaluation will be conducted before discharge. The survey will take about 10 minutes.
3. The control group will undergo two interviews, one during hospitalization and one before discharge. Each interview will last approximately 30 minutes. Interviews will be recorded or transcribed, and the recordings will be used until the research objectives are met, after which they will be disposed of.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Experimental Group

1. The group assigned as the experimental group will receive information in the same manner as it is currently provided to patients, with the addition of a brochure provided once when moving to a general ward after surgery. The brochure can then be used freely.
2. A survey related to patient experience evaluation will be conducted before discharge. For the experimental group, an additional survey regarding the provided brochure will be included. The survey will take about 15 minutes.
3. The experimental group will undergo two interviews, one during hospitalization and one before discharge. Each interview will last approximately 30 minutes. Interviews will be recorded or transcribed, and the recordings will be used until the research objectives are met, after which they will be disposed of.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Consolidating content on a single website and providing access to it via QR codes in a brochure format

Intervention Type OTHER

The group assigned to the experimental group will receive information in the same manner as current patients do, with the addition of receiving a brochure once when moving to a general ward after surgery. Afterward, they are free to use the brochure. The control group will receive information only in the manner currently provided to patients.
