This study is being conducted to explore how microlearning-based health education can improve patients' knowledge, self-confidence in managing their care (self-efficacy), and overall recovery after same-day surgery.
Ambulatory surgeries, such as vaginal hysterectomies and mid-urethral sling procedures, are becoming more common because they typically lead to better outcomes and shorter recovery times than inpatient surgeries.
Microlearning has been effective in improving knowledge and confidence in other healthcare settings, but is not yet well studied for surgical patients.
A total of 50 participants will be enrolled in the study at the University Hospitals.
Participants will be patients scheduled for either a mid-urethral sling procedure or a vaginal hysterectomy, and they will complete pre- and post-education surveys as part of the study.
