Video-Based Education Versus In-Person Education in Patients Undergoing Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Video-based education: The video-based education was sent to patients within 5-day before surgery and consists of instructions to follow after surgery on wight-baring on the operated limb, advice to reduce swelling and movements tallowed to be performed. Exercises to perform in the 2 weeks after surgery are shown.
Usual Care: Immediately after the surgery in day-hospital setting, a physiotherapist provided in-person instructions to patients assigned to control group. Instructions consists of the same educational content of the video-based group and the same exercises to perform in 2-weeks after surgery are shown and provided on a written spreadsheet.
Study summary
The primary aim of the study is to investigate whether video-based education and exercise-program is non-inferior to in-person instructions in improving pain-related self-efficacy in patients undergoing arthroscopic partial meniscectomy in a day-hospital setting. Secondary aims are to explore the potential superiority of the video-based program compared to in-person instructions in reducing disability and kinesiophobia in the same patient population.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) — From enrolment to the 6 weeks after surgery
The PSEQ assesses patients' confidence in performing daily activities despite pain, with score ranging from 0 to 60 and higher scores indicating greater pain-related self-efficacy.
