Summary

This is a single-site, two-arm, parallel-group randomized clinical trial (RCT). The feasibility, acceptability, and clinical effects of the nurse-led, very brief, preoperative mindfulness based intervention for hip and knee replacement patients will be investigated relative to nurse-led preoperative pain psychoeducation. A secondary sub-analysis will compare two different styles of mindfulness practice (mindfulness of breath vs. mindfulness of pain) relative to preoperative pain psychoeducation.

Conditions

• Pain
• Osteoarthritis, Knee
• Osteoarthritis, Hip

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Nurse-led Mindfulness Based Intervention	Nurses will read patients a brief (1 minute) scripted, introduction to mindfulness and then have them listen to a very brief (1 minute 30 second) guided mindfulness practice validated in our prior research to encourage focused attention on breath and body sensations and open monitoring and acceptance of discursive thoughts, negative emotions, and pain. Finally, patients will be given an audio recording of the mindful pain management technique for use any time they experience intense pain or take pain medication before and after surgery.
BEHAVIORAL	Nurse-led Pain Psychoeducation	Nurses will provide psychoeducation about pain along with common pain coping strategies, such as rest, ice, and elevation, for use any time they experience intense pain or take pain medication before and after surgery.
