The present study aims to compare caregiver satisfaction and efficacy between two modes of
patient education materials (PEMs): media based and print based. The caregivers of patient's
who undergo ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery and receive an On-Q
Catheter pain block receive both a hand-out (print based PEM) and watch a short video
(media-based PEM) describing how to care for their child's On-Q Catheter at home. Upon
enrollment into the study, caregivers are randomly assigned to either first view the hand-out
or the video, then complete a 10 questions standardized assessment of information that was
presented in the PEMs. Caregivers are called the next day to assess caregiver satisfaction
with the PEMs, which mode of PEM was more helpful to them, and how comfortable they felt
managing their child's pain pump at home.

The present study aims to compare the efficacy and caregiver satisfaction between two modes
of patient education materials (PEMs): media based and print based. The PEMs are designed to
education caregivers on how to manage their child's On-Q catheter pain block at home. After
caregivers have enrolled in the study and have been randomized to an education group, study
interventions take place in the private family waiting room. Immediately after viewing their
assigned PEM, the caregiver completes a 10 question standardized assessment, formatted as a
multiple-choice quiz, of their understanding and knowledge of the information conveyed in
both modes of PEM. The following day, caregivers are contacted by phone call to answer a
number of questions to assess their satisfaction with the PEMs they received, the mode of PEM
they preferred, and how comfortable they felt managing their child's pain pump at home.
All information is stored in a secure database (REDCap).
