What this trial studies
This study investigates the impact of a personalized web platform that provides video information on breast surgery to reduce preoperative anxiety in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. Participants will have unlimited access to the platform, allowing them to review the surgical information as often as needed. The study aims to address health inequalities by utilizing visual communication, particularly for patients with lower education levels or language barriers. The effectiveness of this approach will be evaluated by measuring changes in anxiety levels before surgery.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults over 18 years old with histologically confirmed breast cancer who are scheduled for lumpectomy, oncoplasty, or mastectomy.
Not a fit: Patients with a history of breast cancer surgery or those with severe physical or psychological impairments may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce preoperative anxiety for breast cancer patients, leading to improved surgical outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of video support in preoperative settings has shown promise in reducing anxiety, this specific approach utilizing a web platform is novel and has not been extensively tested in the literature.
