Interventions

  • Educational Video Modules on Risk Prevention Before and After Cystectomy (Surgery) — OTHER
    An educational program designed by geriatricians, surgeons, anesthesiologists and palliative care physicians to help people with bladder cancer who plan to receive a cystectomy learn strategies to improve their mobility, medication management, mental clarity/delirium and how they document important side effects or health issues after surgery.
  • Geriatric Service/ Discharge Planning — OTHER
    A geriatric team will meet with participants after surgery to help them reinforce the strategies they learned in the education video sessions. As part of a geriatric service, this team will also help participants plan/coordinate their discharge from the hospital after surgery.
  • Questionnaires — OTHER
    These questionnaires will ask about the participants' mobility, frailty, quality of life and additional health/risk factors before and after surgery.

Study Details

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.

Arms

  • Experimental: Participants Who Watch Educational Videos Before Surgery
    Participants in this group will attend an educational session in a conference room that includes 4 learning modules on strategies to reduce mobility loss, improve medication management, prevent delirium, and to document what matters most before and after surgery (cystectomy). These learning modules will be in video format. Participants will watch videos to learn about pre/post surgical strategies and they will receive informational handouts after watching the videos. The study team will also ask participants to fill out questionnaires/surveys before and after surgery.
  • Experimental: Participants Who Watch Educational Videos Before Surgery and Receive Geriatric Follow Up Services
    Participants in this group will also attend an educational session in a conference room that includes 4 learning modules on strategies to reduce mobility loss, improve medication management, prevent delirium, and to document what matters most before and after surgery (cystectomy). These learning modules will be in video format. Participants will watch videos to learn about pre/post surgical strategies and they will receive informational handouts after watching the videos. The study team will also ask participants to fill out questionnaires/surveys before surgery. In addition to attending the educational program (via video) and receiving informational handouts, participants in this group will also meet with the study doctor and/or members of the study team after surgery to help plan their hospital discharge and reinforce/use the strategies they learned in the educational session after surgery.
