Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Bladder Cancer
Registration Number
NCT06427824
Lead Sponsor
University of Chicago
Brief Summary

This study focuses on providing an educational program for people/participants with bladder cancer who plan to have a cystectomy (surgery) as part of their standard care. Participants in this study will watch videos designed to teach them strategies to help lower their risk of experiencing negative side effects (such as mobility problems, issues with taking medication, and poor quality of life) before and after they have surgery. They will also be asked to fill out questionnaires.

Detailed Description

This study focuses on providing an educational program for participants/people with bladder cancer who plan to have a cystectomy (surgery) as part of their standard care. Participants in this study will watch videos designed to teach them strategies to help lower their risk of experiencing negative side effects (such as mobility problems, issues with taking medication, and poor quality of life) before and after they have surgery. The goal of this study is to educate people with bladder cancer and ask them to also fill out questionnaires about the education program and if they used any of the strategies that learn during the study.

Participants in this study will be divided into two different study groups (one group that watches educational videos before surgery and one group that watches educational videos before surgery and also receives geriatric services and follow up visits after surgery). Each participant will be randomized (randomly assigned) to one of two study groups. That means that there is a 50/50 chance (like flipping a coin) that each participant will end up in either group.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants Referred to Educational Program90 days

Assess the feasibility of an educational program designed for participants undergoing radical cystectomy by measuring the number of participants referred to the study team/program.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Survey responses from participants who completed some or all of educational program90 days

Assess the acceptability of an educational program designed for participants undergoing radical cystectomy by measuring/surveying the number of study participants who completed at least some of the intervention.

30-day Hospital Readmission Rates Among All Participants30 days

Assess impact of educational program by comparing the differences between hospital readmission rate at 30 days between both study cohorts.

Complication Rates Reported Among Participants90 days

Assess impact of educational program by comparing the differences between complication rates reported among study participants in both groups.

Number of self-reported interventions/strategies used among participants after watching educational videos90 days

Assess the adoptability of an educational program designed for participants undergoing radical cystectomy by measuring the number of self-reported interventions that participants reported after the educational program

90-day Hospital Readmission Rates Among All Participants90 days

Assess impact of educational program by comparing the differences between hospital readmission rate at 90 days between both study cohorts.
