Study Summary

This trial will test a multimedia self-management intervention to see if it improves patient outcomes and decreases caregiving burden for stage I-III lung cancer patients and their caregivers.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adult family caregivers and patients with Stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer who are preparing for surgery. Caregivers must be the primary care provider, identified by the patient, both before and after surgery. Participants need to be at least 21 years old and able to read or understand English.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a multimedia self-management intervention called 'Preparing for your Lung Cancer Surgery.' It's nurse-led, aimed at caregivers, involves educational media about prepping for surgery, and aims to improve patient recovery post-surgery while reducing caregiver burden.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on informational support rather than medication or invasive procedures, there are no direct medical side effects expected from participating in the interventions being studied.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Group I (MSM intervention)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions

Patients and FCGs receive the MSM intervention consisting of videos, a handbook, and research nurse coaching over 40-60 minutes, approximately 3-7 days before surgery and within 24 hours of planned discharge. Patients and FCGs also receive research nurse support via telephone(separate sessions for FCGs and patients) over 20-30 minutes at 2 and 7 days, and 2 months post-discharge.

Group II: Group II (Attention Control)Active Control2 Interventions

Patients and FCGs receive attention control intervention consisting of videos (American Cancer Society video on "Clinical Trials"), American Cancer Society print materials, and assistance from a CRA approximately 3-7 days before surgery and within 24 hours of planned discharge. Patients and FCGs also receive assistance from CRAs via telephone at 2 and 7 days, and 2 months post-discharge.
