What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a dematerialized video support in the care pathway of lung cancer surgery patients. It is a uni-centric, randomized, open-label, prospective interventional-comparative study that compares patients receiving standard preoperative information with those who also have access to the educational video. The goal is to assess whether the video support can reduce anxiety and improve the overall experience for patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce anxiety and improve the preoperative experience for lung cancer surgery patients.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific approach of using video support in this context may be novel, similar studies have shown that educational interventions can improve patient outcomes in surgical settings.
