What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Guided Imagery With Audio MediaBehavioural

    Subjects assigned to the experimental arm will be asked to participate in meditation daily using the audio media provided for the 7 days prior to surgery, in the preoperative holding area, for the 7 days following surgery, and are encouraged to engage in affirmations module use at least weekly in the 6-8 week postoperative period.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Level of distress in the immediate postoperative period, measured by the numeric rating scale/ National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Distress Thermometer screening instrument.

    Measured: postoperative day 1

  2. Level of distress in the delayed postoperative period, measured by the numeric rating scale/ National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Distress Thermometer screening instrument.

    Measured: 6-8 week postoperative exam

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Level of distress, measured by questionnaire using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-total (HADS-T).

    Measured: postoperative day 1 and 6-8 week postoperative exam

  2. Level of anxiety and depressions, measured by questionnaire using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale subscale for anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D).

    Measured: postoperative day 1 and 6-8 week postoperative exam

  3. Level of pain, measured by a 7-item questionnaire using a Likert numerical rating scale for pain

    Measured: postoperative day 1 and 6-8 week postoperative exam

  4. Perioperative analgesic use, measured by patient-completed usage log and hospital medical record.

    Measured: postoperative day 1 and 6-8 week postoperative exam

  5. Patient satisfaction regarding in hospital perioperative care, measured by a questionnaire adapted from the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey.

    Measured: postoperative day 1 and 6-8 week postoperative exam

  6. Effect of perioperative guided imagery on health care compliance, measured by the General Adherence Scale (GAS) survey.

    Measured: 6-8 week postoperative visit

  7. Effect of perioperative guided imagery on health care related locus of control, measured by the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control-form A (MHLC-A) questionnaire.

    Measured: postoperative day 1 and 6-8 week postoperative exam

  8. The effect of perioperative guided imagery on hope, measured by the Adult Hope Scale (AHS) questionnaire.

    Measured: postoperative day 1 and 6-8 week postoperative exam
