Sleep Disturbance
Conditions
Brief summary
The investigators are interested in measuring the influence of addressing sleep in the orthopedic setting. This includes assessing patient experience measures (satisfaction with the visit, perceived empathy, communication effectiveness) as well as greater engagement in their healthcare (patient activation). The investigators will also see what factors might be associated with sleep disturbance and if addressing sleep leads to an intervention such as cognitive behavioral therapy.
