Educational Program for Bladder Cancer Patients Undergoing Surgery

This study is for people with bladder cancer aged 65 and older who are having a radical cystectomy (surgery to remove the bladder). It tests an educational program with video modules designed by medical experts. These videos teach strategies to help you manage your mobility, medications, and mental clarity before and after surgery. Some participants will also receive support from a geriatric team after surgery to reinforce these strategies and help with discharge planning. You will also complete questionnaires about your mobility, frailty, and quality of life. The main goal is to see how many people use the educational program.

Study design
This is an interventional study with 85 participants. You will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one watches educational videos, and the other watches videos and receives geriatric services after surgery.
What's involved
You will watch educational video modules and complete questionnaires before and after surgery. If assigned to the second group, you will also meet with a geriatric team after surgery.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint, which measures the number of participants referred to the educational program, is measured at 90 days.
