Video-Assisted Intervention in Improving Recovery in Patients With Cancer Undergoing Lung Surgery and Caregivers
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Malignant Lung Neoplasm
In brief
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.
