A virtual coach for surgery: can it empower latina patients?
NCT ID NCT06679621
First seen Aug 14, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026
Summary
This study tests a telehealth program designed to help Latina patients feel more prepared for urogynecologic surgery, such as procedures for incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. The program is being developed with input from patient partners and uses human-centered design. Researchers will first survey patients to understand what affects surgical preparedness, then build the intervention, and finally pilot-test it to see if it is feasible, acceptable, and useful. The goal is to support patients in feeling more informed and confident before their operation.
