Brief Summary

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

The aim of this qualitative interview study is to gain new and in-depth knowledge about patients' experiences of information following total knee arthroplasty. Participants will be interviewed in the recovery phase after surgery. Researchers will use a semi-structured interview guide. The interviews will be analysed with qualitative content analysis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A qualitative interview study will be conducted. Interviews will be conducted 24-28 weeks after total knee arthroplasty. A semi-structured interview guide will be used to answer the following research questions:

* What are the patients' positive and negative experiences of the information provided before and after total knee arthroplasty (TKA)?
* What are the patients' experiences and perceptions regarding the content and scope of the information, as well as how and when it is communicated?
* What are the patients' experiences and perceptions of their access to information?
* What are the patients' experiences and perceptions of the significance of the information for postoperative care and their expectations of the surgical outcome?
* How do patients perceive the information provided before and after surgery in relation to their expectations of the information?
* How do patients think the information provided before and after TKA could be improved?
