The Development of a Video-based Nutrition Education Curriculum for Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy

BACKGROUND: The treatment for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer includes neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy. American Urological Association guidelines stress the optimization of patient performance status in perioperative setting. Therefore, implementation nutrition education is critical multi-disciplinary care this vulnerable population and wide distribution information critical. OBJECTIVE: goal our study was to create a nutrition-based video series undergoing cystectomy cancer. METHODS: Scripts videos were developed through an iterative process experts nutrition, urology, communication. Providers advocates recruited perform semi-structured interviews surveys additional feedback. Performer facial emotion recognition (Noldus™) used assess displayed presenters. Mangold VisionPlayer software participant eye movement tracking content. A knowledge survey created, Item Content Validity Index (I-CVI) calculated expert advisory board. Participants cognitive interviewing understand mental processes interpretations while answering questions. RESULTS: available public on Bladder Cancer Advocate Network (BCAN) website at following URL: https://bcan.org/facing-bladder-cancer/nutrition-bladder-cancer/eating-healthy-bladder-cancer/. Cinematic filming methods, (smaller depth field, lighting, camera movement) enhanced message delivery along music text screen anchor important concepts. CONCLUSIONS: This can be framework development library accessible electronic medical records, health applications, advocacy websites.
