Condition
Indication for operation in traumatology and general surgery
Intervention
The inclusion of the patients takes place in the anaesthesiology premedication clinic. After the education, a computer assisted questionnaire will be performed. This questionnaire contains a special questionnaire of the preference of autonomy. If the score of the patient is above the median score the patient gets randomised. This so called 'active decision' group gets a booklet. This booklet contains informations of essential processes for the preparations before and after operations.
In the control group the participants do not obtain any additional information.
In both groups, pain, nil per os, mobilisation were recorded.

1. Analgesia
2. Post-operative nausea and vomiting, using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS: 0 = no pain/no vomiting, 10 = unbearable pain/extreme vomiting)

PADSS will be measured daily during the patient's study participation in the Charité hospital (longest time until the 5th day of hospital stay).

1. World Health Organization (WHO)-5 Well Being Index
2. Patient Involvement in Care Scale
3. Sense of coherence
