Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
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.

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.
