Summary
This study tests whether a video call with a family member while waiting in the operating room can lower stress, anxiety, and fear in patients having bladder tumor surgery. About 124 adults will be randomly assigned to either have a video call or receive standard care. Researchers will measure anxiety, fear, and stress levels using surveys and blood tests before and after the call.
