Mohs Surgery: Patient Satisfaction & Quality of Life (QOL)

Overview

The purpose of this study is to examine whether there is significant difference between two groups: extra care (EC) and usual care (UC) in improvement of patients' quality-of-life (QoL) scores between the baseline and 90-day post-surgery in patients undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS).

Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: Randomized
    • Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
    • Masking: None (Open Label)

    • The EC intervention includes pre- and post- procedure calls from the surgeon, written educational material, personalized music during the operation, post-procedure skin cancer protection education, and are allowed to bring a guest into the procedure room.
  • Other: Usual Care (UC)
    • Standard of care pre and post surgery management provided to patients undergoing Mohs Surgery.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Extra Care (EC) Treatment Group
    • Participants in this group will receive the EC intervention pre and post standard of care (SoC) scheduled Mohs Surgery.
  • Active Comparator: Usual Care (UC) Group
    • Participants in this group will receive the usual care provided to patients undergoing standard of care (SoC) scheduled Mohs Surgery.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Change in PSQ Scores
    • Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months
    • Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ) is a 7 item questionnaire with a total score ranging from 7 to 35 with the higher score indicating greater satisfaction
