Summary

This study will test whether a Setswana translation of a standard recovery questionnaire is accurate and easy to use for orthopaedic surgery patients. About 150 adults having planned surgery at a South African hospital will fill out the questionnaire before and after their operation. The goal is to make sure the tool works well for Setswana-speaking patients, helping doctors better understand their recovery.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population will consist of adult patients (aged 18 years and older) who are fluent in Setswana and are scheduled for elective orthopaedic surgery at the hospital. The population is expected to be diverse in terms of gender, age, and socioeconomic background, reflecting the typical demographic of Setswana-speaking patients. These patients are expected to be conscious and alert in the postoperative period, able to provide informed consent, and cognitively capable of understanding and responding to a questionnaire. Participants with known cognitive impairments, severe postoperative complications that impair communication, or those unwilling to participate will be excluded.

Ages

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients over 18 years of age * Scheduled elective orthopaedic surgery at Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who are not fluent in Setswana * Patients booked for emergency surgery where a delay to surgery could be detrimental. * Patients where the surgery is delayed beyond 10 days of the initial assessment and pre-operative QoR-15 measurement. * Patients with a psychiatric disturbance that precludes complete co-operation. * Patients with a severe debilitating medical or surgical condition that may limit objective assessment after surgery. * Patients with any life threatening postoperative complication. * Postoperative confusion or delirium. * Patients with a history of recent drug or alcohol abuse which may render responses unreliable. * Incomplete QoR-15 questionnaires.
