Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary study endpoint will be the percentage change between the baseline stress VAS score and the VAS score measure before surgery. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study endpoints include: * The percentage change in stress VAS scores considering the different phases of the patient journey (i.e., from baseline to hospital admission, from hospital admission to surgery, from surgery to hospital discharge, and from hospital discharge to the 14-day post-surgery visit). * The percentage change in pain VAS scores considering the different phases of the patient journey (i.e., from baseline to hospital admission, from hospital admission to surgery, from surgery to hospital discharge, and from hospital discharge to the 14-day post-surgery visit). * The difference between study groups in the mean change of empowerment scores measured according to the Patient Activation Measure® (PAM-13®) within the different phases of the patient journey (i.e., from baseline to hospital admission, from hospital admission to surgery, from surgery to hospital discharge, and from hospital discharge to the 14-day post-surgery visit). * The difference between study groups in the change of quality-of-life scores measured according to the EuroQoL-5D-3L (EQ-5D-3L) (or the EQ-5D-Y for children and adolescents), from baseline to the 14-day post-surgery visit. * Differences between study groups in the frequencies of patients with wound healing problems, including the categorisation of these problems, from the surgery to the 14-day post-surgery visit. * Correlations of stress levels measured on the VAS with stress levels identified by the wristband and the SAM's voice tool in patients using the SAM solution in all measurements performed throughout the study. * The usability and satisfaction with the SAM solution reported in the intervention group at hospital admission, hospital discharge, and the 14-day post-surgery visit according to standard questions for patients and healthcare professionals, a patient subjective 1-10 satisfaction scale and the Net Promoter ScoreSM calculation. | — |
