Nutritional Education for Arthroscopic Surgery Recovery
This study is looking at how nutritional education affects recovery after arthroscopic surgery (a type of minimally invasive joint surgery). You could join if you are 10 years or older and are having knee or shoulder arthroscopic surgery. Participants will either watch a nutritional video from a UAB nutritionist or receive standard care. The main goal is to see if the nutritional video improves your eating habits, measured by a survey called the Rapid Eating Assessment for Patients (REAP-S) at 6 weeks after surgery. The study aims to enroll 200 people, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study where participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group watches a nutritional video, and the other receives standard care.
- What's involved
- You would complete a nutrition questionnaire before surgery and again at 6 weeks after surgery. If assigned to the education group, you would watch a nutritional video before surgery.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your nutritional status will be assessed at 6 weeks after surgery.

What this trial measures
- Change in Rapid Eating Assessment for Patients Survey (REAP-S) scoresBaseline, 6 weeks
The Rapid Eating Assessment for Patients Survey (REAP-S) is a validated 16-item questionnaire that clinicians use to quickly evaluate a patient's diet quality and identify specific nutritional risks. The questionnaire is divided into two sections, with the first 13 items scored on a 3-point frequency scale: Usually/Often: 1 point Sometimes: 2 points Rarely/Never (or Not Applicable): 3 points The total possible score for the first 13 questions ranges from 13 to 39, with higher scores indicating better diet quality. A score of ≥ 32 is generally considered indicative of a healthier, well-balanced diet.
