However, patients and their families are often not involved developing such resources. Thus, their viewpoints on content, timing, and methods of presentation remain unknown. Our survey aimed to assess perioperative pain information content, timing, and presentation methods most valued by patients, their families, and medical staff.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The survey took place as part of a multi-center, quality improvement study in 6 hospitals. On the first postoperative day, patients, family members or friends, and medical staff were asked to complete a questionnaire addressing content about pain, side effects of analgesics, the timing of providing the information, and the preferred method of receiving the information. A composite score was created for questions regarding information content.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A significant difference in total composite score of information items about pain characteristics and management (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05) was observed between the groups.
