- Brief Summary
This pilot clinical trial studies how well Walking for Recovery from Surgery works in improving quality of life in older adults with lung or gastrointestinal cancer and their family caregivers. A walking program, such as Walking for Recovery from Surgery may help support overall well-being as a caregiver, and may help improve family member or friend's recovery from surgery.
- Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To examine whether the intervention and telehealth approach would be feasible and acceptable.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To examine patient outcome patterns suggesting the potential efficacy of the intervention on self-efficacy, functional status (daily steps, 6-minute walk time, timed up and go), psychological distress, symptoms, and global health status.
OUTLINE:
Patients and caregivers receive Walking for Recovery from Surgery prehabilitation intervention in 4 sessions 3-7 days before surgery, before discharge, and at 2 and 7 days post-discharge.
After completion of study, patients and caregivers are followed up for 2 months.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pedometer-assessed daily steps (patients) Up to 2 months Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize all outcome measure scores using validated scoring procedures, and to evaluate patterns suggesting potential intervention efficacy on outcomes.
Timed-up and go (patients) Up to 2 months Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize all outcome measure scores using validated scoring procedures, and to evaluate patterns suggesting potential intervention efficacy on outcomes.
Self-efficacy (caregivers) Up to 2 months Will be assessed by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Self-Efficacy-Short Form. Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize all outcome measure scores using validated scoring procedures, and to evaluate patterns suggesting potential intervention efficacy on outcomes.
Distress assessed using Distress thermometer (caregivers) Up to 2 months Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize all outcome measure scores using validated scoring procedures, and to evaluate patterns suggesting potential intervention efficacy on outcomes.
