The present study aims to compare the efficacy and caregiver satisfaction between two modes of patient education materials (PEMs): media based and print based. The PEMs are designed to education caregivers on how to manage their child's On-Q catheter pain block at home. After caregivers have enrolled in the study and have been randomized to an education group, study interventions take place in the private family waiting room. Immediately after viewing their assigned PEM, the caregiver completes a 10 question standardized assessment, formatted as a multiple-choice quiz, of their understanding and knowledge of the information conveyed in both modes of PEM. The following day, caregivers are contacted by phone call to answer a number of questions to assess their satisfaction with the PEMs they received, the mode of PEM they preferred, and how comfortable they felt managing their child's pain pump at home.
All information is stored in a secure database (REDCap).
