Developing an information booklet for parents and caregivers of children recovering from spinal fusion surgery

published online 09 December 2008.

Editor’s commentsThis small project shows the need for effective post surgery communication between care staff and the patient, or their relatives. The development of effective discharge information, in the form of a booklet, can be time consuming but can have a major impact on those it has been developed for. The focus of any written information, as in this case, has to be patient orientated looking at level of information and its readability once the patient is discharged.
