What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying surgical preparedness in Latinas undergoing urogynecologic surgery to develop and test a telehealth intervention called TIPPS-Latina. The study aims to understand factors affecting preparedness, design a patient-centered intervention using Human Centered Design and Dissemination Implementation methods, and pilot test the intervention for feasibility and implementation. This project involves a participatory action framework guiding all study phases. Participants scheduled for urogynecologic surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either routine preoperative counseling alone or routine counseling plus the TIPPS-Latina telehealth intervention. The intervention development follows a three-phase Discover, DesignBuild, and Test framework, using mixed methods to refine and evaluate the telehealth support tailored for Latinas. The study includes community patient partners to guide research and intervention design. Participants will complete assessments including the Surgical Preparedness Assessment, health literacy, self-efficacy, trust in provider, decisional conflict, anxietydepression, and satisfaction with healthcare services. These are measured at preoperative visits, on the day of surgery before the procedure, and 6-8 weeks postoperatively. The study evaluates the interventions feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness during preoperative holding on surgery day, with monitoring of implementation outcomes and patient-reported measures over the course of the trial.
