Video-based, Patient-Focused Opioid Education in the Perioperative Period

This is a pilot study designed to assess the feasibility of using a novel, video-based opioid education tool for opioid naïve ambulatory surgery patients in the perioperative period.

Patients will be randomized to a video or no video prior to surgery then administered a phone questionnaire at post-op day 7, 30, and 90. The Arkansas Prescriptions Drug Monitoring Database will also be accessed for information on opioid prescription refills. The overall goal of the study is to evaluate the effect that video-based opioid education has on narcotic intake after outpatient surgery. The duration of the study will be approximately 3 months, plus a single 1-hour long focus group if desired by the patient.

A 5 minute video on the risks and benefits of opioids, alternative methods to reduce pain, and the proper handling and storage of opioids will be shown.

Knowledge of Post operative Opioids after surgery via 7 day post operative phone call. Knowledge is measured on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being complete knowledge and 1 being no knowledge.

Post-operative pain control as determined by opioid utilization at three months. This is the number of patients that have discontinued opioids at the 3 month mark.

Feasibility of collecting data on the percentage of patients who develop chronic opioid use. This is measured as the number of patients who received an opioid prescription per the Arkansas prescription drug monitoring database during the 90-150 day period post operatively.

Inclusion Criteria: Men and women 18 years or older Not chronically receiving opioid analgesics Patients who have not taken opioids 30 days pre-operatively Undergoing surgical procedure not requiring overnight hospital stay Exclusion Criteria: Non-English speaking Legally deaf or blind On opiate contract Has taken oral narcotic in the past 30 days Unable to operate a telephone
