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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
video call with family member
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show a simple way to lower stress and fear before surgery, improving patient experience.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (124 people) testing a behavioral intervention, not a drug. Results may not apply to all surgeries or hospitals.
