Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Patients' understanding of the content related to anesthesia visit after the preoperative visit with anesthesiology residents | Postoperative visit （one day after surgery） | Overall patient understanding of the anesthesia visit content was assessed by a patient self-measurement scale in the form of a rank variable, with 1 being no understanding at all and 5 being full understanding |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Patient recall of what anesthesiology residents mentioned during the preoperative visit vs. what anesthesiology residents mentioned during the preoperative visit | resident-side：Pre-operative visit-one day before surgery；patient-side：Post-operative visit-one day after surgery | Differences in the content of the preoperative visit as recalled by the patient and the content of the modality as mentioned by the resident through resident-side and patient-side question and answer scales |
| Stratified analysis of subjects according to different age/education levels to explore the relevance in understanding the content of the preoperative visit for anesthesia | Postoperative visit （one day after surgery） | 1. Age stratification as young adults (18-35 years), middle-aged adults (36-60 years), older adults (61-80 years)； 2. Stratification of subjects' educational attainment as elementary, middle school, high school, college. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Patient concerns in the content of the preoperative approach | Postoperative visit （one day after surgery） | Understanding what worries patients most about anesthesia-related content during the preoperative visit |
| Patients' suggestions for improving the efficiency of preoperative anesthesia visits | Postoperative visit （one day after surgery） | Understanding what patients would like to take to promote understanding of the content of the preoperative visit from the patient's end of the spectrum |
