Inpatients, Liver Transplantation
Conditions
Brief summary
The investigators aim to evaluate the improvement of the inpatient experience and the usability of a content-based tool (a brochure). This involves consolidating video content for inpatients on a single website and providing access to it via QR codes in a brochure format. \[Patients\] Considering this as a pilot study, the investigators plan to recruit around 30 participants. Both the experimental and control groups will receive standard care and information, with the experimental group additionally receiving the brochure. Random assignment will be used for the experimental and control groups. Surveys and interviews will be conducted to assess changes in patient experience and usability before and after providing the brochure. \[Medical Staff\] Among the medical staff involved in the liver transplant surgical process, researchers will select participants based on their degree of involvement with the intervention subjects. After obtaining their consent, interviews will be conducted concerning patient experiences and the brochure.
Interventions
OTHERConsolidating content on a single website and providing access to it via QR codes in a brochure format
The group assigned to the experimental group will receive information in the same manner as current patients do, with the addition of receiving a brochure once when moving to a general ward after surgery. Afterward, they are free to use the brochure. The control group will receive information only in the manner currently provided to patients.

| Inpatient Experience 2 | During the intervention | Analysis of survey response trends and frequencies between the experimental and control groups |
| Inpatient Experience 3 | Patient: During the intervention and after intervention(Two times)/Medical staff: During the study period | Qualitative research through interviews |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Informational value of the intervention tool | During the intervention | Asking informational value of the intervention tool from survey and interview |
| Areas for improvement | During the intervention | A survey and interview on the advice for improvement |
| Usability value of the intervention tool | During the intervention | Survey uses 'System Usability Scail' which ranges a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100 points, with higher scores indicating better usability. Also related question will be asked by intervew. |
