Digital Education in Colorectal Cancer Patients
Guiding Anxiety Reduction, Disease Understanding and Insightful Decision-Making Through Digital Education in Colorectal Cancer Patients, A Randomized Clinical Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 7 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of integrating video- based education in colorectal cancer surgery, with a specific focus on patient's perspective. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does addition of video-based patient education material lower patient's anxiety around colorectal cancer surgery? Does it increase patient's understanding of their diagnosis? Does it enhance patient's sense of shared decision-making? Researchers will compare an addition of video-based education to a standard surgical consultation to see if video improves patient's experience with colorectal cancer surgery. Participants will be randomized at the time of referral. Intervention group will view the video prior to the surgical consultation. They will complete the survey at the end of the surgical consultation.
