“…Pre-operative education is also effective in reducing pain and nausea, and improving well-being when added to an existing ERAS protocol 10 11. Written information was determined to be superior to verbal in one randomized clinical trial in gynecologic oncology surgery 12. Ideally, patients should receive information in both written and oral form.…”

BackgroundThis is the first updated Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Society guideline presenting a consensus for optimal perioperative care in gynecologic/oncology surgery.MethodsA database search of publications using Embase and PubMed was performed. Studies on each item within the ERAS gynecologic/oncology protocol were selected with emphasis on meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, and large prospective cohort studies. These studies were then reviewed and graded according to the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system.ResultsAll recommendations on ERAS protocol items are based on best available evidence. The level of evidence for each item is presented accordingly.ConclusionsThe updated evidence base and recommendation for items within the ERAS gynecologic/oncology perioperative care pathway are presented by the ERAS® Society in this consensus review.

A systematic review of information format and timing before scheduled adult surgery for peri‐operative anxiety

SummaryWe included 34 trials with 3742 participants, identified through 6 database and supplementary searches (to May 2017): 29 were randomised; 4 were quasi-randomised and 1 was cluster-randomised. Disparate measurements and outcomes precluded meta-analyses. Blinding was attempted in only 6 out of 34 (18%) trials. A multimedia format, alone or in combination with text or verbal formats, was studied in 20/34 (59%) trials: pre-operative anxiety was unaffected in 10 out of 14 trials and reduced by the multimedia format in three; postoperative anxiety was unaffected in four out of five trials in which formats were compared. Multimedia formats increased knowledge more than text, which in turn increased knowledge more than verbal formats. Other outcomes were unaffected by information format. The timing of information did not affect pre-operative anxiety, postoperative pain or length of stay. In conclusion, the effects of pre-operative information on peri-operative anxiety and other outcomes were affected little by format or timing.

“…Information booklets are more appealing if readable, clearly presented, without jargon, and including information regarding resources available at the hospital [9]. The provision of written information inside brochures may improve patients' confidence in self-care; decrease stress, anxiety, and depression; reduce recovery time, number of hospitalization days, and complications; and improve patient satisfaction [10]. Moreover, leaflets or booklets are recommended during pre-operative preparation to help patients not to forget the health information provided [11].…”

The interventions provided resulted effective in decreasing patients' physiological indicators of anxiety immediately after TIAP implantation and improving patients' knowledge about TIAP immediately and at 3 months. Adding answers to clarification questions to the booklet was not more effective than the booklet alone. A well-designed booklet with attention both to scientific content and to communication techniques is useful in improving patients' knowledge about TIAP and reducing anxiety.
