Pilot Study for the Validity of a Content-based Information Provision Tool Aimed at Improving the Hospitalization Experience of Liver Transplant Patients

The investigators aim to evaluate the improvement of the inpatient experience and the usability of a content-based tool (a brochure). This involves consolidating video content for inpatients on a single website and providing access to it via QR codes in a brochure format.

[Patients] Considering this as a pilot study, the investigators plan to recruit around 30 participants. Both the experimental and control groups will receive standard care and information, with the experimental group additionally receiving the brochure. Random assignment will be used for the experimental and control groups. Surveys and interviews will be conducted to assess changes in patient experience and usability before and after providing the brochure.

[Medical Staff] Among the medical staff involved in the liver transplant surgical process, researchers will select participants based on their degree of involvement with the intervention subjects. After obtaining their consent, interviews will be conducted concerning patient experiences and the brochure.
