Study Overview
Brief Summary
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.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To pilot test a video-assisted intervention designed to enhance post-operative recovery by preparing patients and informal caregivers for lung surgery.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. 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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Informal caregiver-reported outcomes to video-assisted intervention among the lung surgery population at COH
Time Frame: Up to 2 months
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.
Patient-reported outcomes to video-assisted intervention among the lung surgery population at City of Hope (COH)
Time Frame: Up to 2 months
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.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
