Sponsor's own description
Hypothesis/Study question (brief introduction of the question studied; about 5 lines) Appendicitis is the most common acute surgical admission to the pediatric surgery service at the MCH. The need for surgery can provoke anxieties for patients. Patient education materials are meant to improve knowledge, set expectations, and improve the overall hospital experience for patients and their families, and are already being widely implemented for elective surgeries in the context of ERAS pathways. This study aims to develop an effective patient and family education tool, with the goal of improving patient education and satisfaction with care in the emergency surgery setting. Study objectives 1. Utilize evidence-based methods to evaluate the success of implementation of a patient and family-centered education tool for appendicitis. 2. Develop and validate a pre- and post- education patient satisfaction and experience survey in the realm of pediatric surgery. 3. Inform the development of the education tool and survey through multidisciplinary and patient/family input. 4. Implement a patient/family-centered education tool in an emergency surgical setting.
