Adenotonsillectomy Postoperative Parental Teaching Tool

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The study will involve parents filling out a survey before & after watching a teaching tool video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIH63jqvlio) in addition to standard post-op teaching. The parents randomized to the video arms will watch the video while their child is in the OR and then either take the post survey immediately after or wait to take the survey until just prior to discharge. Parents not in the video arms of the study will also be asked to complete a survey pre and post standard pain management teaching.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Difference in Answers to Pre & Post Teaching Questionnaires | Assessing the difference in how parents answered the questionnaire before receiving any discharge instructions and the questionnaire after watching the video or receiving standard discharge instructions by the nurse. Parents completed pre-instruction and post-instruction assessments of their knowledge of post-operative pain management, with responses scored on a 0-8 scale by assigning 1 point to each correct response out of 8 multiple-choice questions. Higher difference score means that the parents answered more questions correctly after the teaching/video. | approx. 1 - 2 hrs post-op |
