About this study

Official title: Preparing Patients and Informal Caregivers for Lung Surgery: Pilot Study of a Video-Assisted Intervention to Enhance Post-Operative Recovery

This pilot clinical trial studies a video-assisted intervention in improving recovery of patients undergoing surgery to remove lung cancer or cancer that has spread to the lung and their caregivers. The intervention uses educational videos to prepare patients and families for surgery and teach them how to manage the symptoms after surgery. Teaching patients and their families what to expect before and after surgery may help improve patient and caregiver quality of life, help patients recover better from surgery, and support families in their role as caregivers after surgery.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To pilot test a video-assisted intervention designed to enhance post-operative recovery by preparing patients and informal caregivers for lung surgery.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To describe preliminary effect of the video-assisted intervention on patient-reported outcomes (PROs), informal caregiver-reported outcomes, and clinical/system outcomes.

OUTLINE: Patients and their caregivers are assigned to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients and caregivers receive standard care during routine clinic visits.

ARM II: Patients view Parts 1 and 2 of the video program, which focus on what to expect before surgery and after surgery in the hospital, on a tablet over approximately 8 minutes at a scheduled pre-operative visit. Patients then receive an educational handbook and discuss the video with a nurse. After surgery and before hospital discharge, patients view Part 3 of the video over approximately 6 minutes, which focuses on what to expect after going home.

After completion of study, patients and caregivers are followed up at approximately 2-4 weeks and 2 months.

Being tested
Standard Follow-Up Care, Caregiver-Related Intervention or Procedure, Educational Intervention, Quality-of-Life Assessment, Questionnaire Administration

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Patient-reported outcomes to video-assisted intervention among the lung surgery population at City of Hope (COH)

    Patient-reported outcomes assessed using the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), For all patient-reported outcomes, data will be summarized using descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation.

    Measured: Up to 2 months

  2. Informal caregiver-reported outcomes to video-assisted intervention among the lung surgery population at COH

    Informal caregiver-reported outcomes assessed using the STAI. For all informal caregiver-reported outcomes, data will be summarized using descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation.

    Measured: Up to 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Standard Follow-Up Care, Caregiver-Related Intervention or Procedure and Educational Intervention in people with Malignant Lung Neoplasm, run by City of Hope Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Patient-reported outcomes to video-assisted intervention among the lung surgery population at City of Hope (COH) (time frame: Up to 2 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
