Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (Tests) for Bladder Cancer Participants Undergoing Radical Cystectomy
Purpose
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. |

Detailed Description
This study focuses on providing an educational program for participants/people 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. The goal of this study is to educate people with bladder cancer and ask them to also fill out questionnaires about the education program and if they used any of the strategies that learn during the study. Participants in this study will be divided into two different study groups (one group that watches educational videos before surgery and one group that watches educational videos before surgery and also receives geriatric services and follow up visits after surgery). Each participant will be randomized (randomly assigned) to one of two study groups. That means that there is a 50/50 chance (like flipping a coin) that each participant will end up in either group.
