The purpose of this research is to find out whether the way information about surgery is
presented to patients affects patient satisfaction, knowledge retention, and surgical
outcomes such as anxiety

Comparison of Perioperative Education Modalities for ACL Reconstruction on Patient Satisfaction, Self-Efficacy, and Surgical Outcomes: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Measured using the Leiden Perioperative Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire. Self-reported
questionnaire that rates the subjects satisfaction with information provision, discomfort
and needs during perioperative care.

Principal Investigator

Measured using the PROMIS Emotional Distress - Anxiety Short Form 8a. Self-reported
8-item questionnaire that rates the subjects emotional distress in the past 7 days on a
scale of 1=Never to 5=Always. Higher total scores indicate higher anxiety severity.

Measured using the PROMIS Self-Efficacy - Manage Symptoms Short Form 8a. Self-reported
8-item questionnaire that rates the subjects current level of confidence to statements
about managing symptoms using a scale of 1="I am not at all confident to 5="I am very
confident". Higher total score indicate higher confidence in managing symptoms.

Measured using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia. Self-reported 17-item questionnaire
based on evaluation of fear of movement, fear of physical activity, and fear avoidance
using a scale of 1=Strongly Disagree to 4=Strongly Agree. Total score range from 17-68
and higher scores indicate severe kinesiophobia.

Measured using the PROMIS Physical Function Short Form 10b. Self-reported 10-item
questionnaire that rates the subjects ability to perform an activity using a scale of
5="Without any difficulty" to 1="Unable to do". Higher total scores indicate higher
physical function.

Measured using the ACL Reconstruction Perioperative Education Quiz

Measured using the PROMIS Pain Interference Short Form 6a. Self-reported 6-item
questionnaire that rates the subjects pain interference with activities in the past 7
days using a scale of 1="Not at all" to 5="Very much". Higher total scores indicate
higher pain interference with activities experienced.

Measured using the History of Falls Questionnaire. Self-reported 5-item questionnaire
asking subjects about falls experienced in the past month and seriousness.

Measured using the Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale. Self-reported questionnaire that asks
subjects to indicate which statement best describes their condition in regards to common
complaints frequently experience with knee problems. Total scoring out of 100 and higher
score less knee-specific symptoms.

Measured using the Tegner Activity Scale. Self-reported level of activity prior to injury
and post injury. Total of 10 levels and higher levels indicate greater activity level.

Measured using the ACL Return to Sport Index. Self-reported 6-item questionnaire to
measure the readiness to return to sports after ACL injury or reconstruction. Using a
scale from 0 points (extremely negative psychological responses) to 100 points (no
negative psychological responses).

Measured using the Brief Resilience Scale. Self-reported 6-item questionnaire to measure
perceived ability to recover from stress. Total score range 1-5 with higher scores
indicating higher resilience.

Approximately 4 weeks before scheduled surgery, participants will receive the video-based
intervention regarding pre-and postoperative care for ACL reconstruction.

Approximately 4 weeks before scheduled surgery, participants will receive the
classroom-based intervention regarding pre-and postoperative care for ACL reconstruction.

Participants will receive verbal and written pre-and postoperative instruction as
typically received by all ACL reconstruction patients treated by the attending physicians
before and after surgery.
