This study investigates a behavioral intervention for patients and their caregivers to improve recovery after surgery. The focus is on reducing the risk and symptoms of delirium, which is a state of confusion that can occur after surgery, especially in older adults.

Participants will be involved in activities designed to modify their approach to recovery. These activities will include interviews and focus groups to discuss their experiences and strategies for managing post-surgical recovery.

  • Who can participate: Participants must be over 60 years old and have a caregiver who can attend interviews. They should have undergone or be scheduled for elective surgery with a stay of at least 2 days.
  • Study details: Participants will engage in interviews and focus groups to discuss recovery strategies. A placebo is not involved in this study.
