What this Trial Is About
Researchers are conducting a prospective observational study at Zealand University Hospital in Denmark to understand how patients' expectations affect their pain, rehabilitation, and quality of life after spinal surgery. The study also explores patients' experiences and expectations before and after surgery, aiming to gain insights into recovery from the patient's perspective. This approach supports patient-centered care, focusing on individual needs and values during the surgical process. The study involves patients undergoing elective spinal surgery at the hospital over one year, from early 2024 to late 2024. There is no intervention or treatment being tested; instead, participants are observed and their experiences recorded. Approximately 300 patients will participate in the quantitative part, while 10 to 15 patients will be involved in a qualitative part involving interviews to better understand their perspectives. Participants will provide information about their expectations, pain levels, functional status, and quality of life through questionnaires and interviews. Researchers will assess these outcomes during and after the surgery period, with results expected in 2025. The study includes monitoring patients' pain intensity, functional ability, and overall quality of life, aiming to guide better patient-centered care and improve rehabilitation practices after spinal surgery.
