Summary

This trial studies whether a telephone-based physical activity intervention before and after lung cancer surgery can be provided to older patients and their caregivers. The trial also aims to understand whether patients and family caregivers will be satisfied with the intervention. Participating in physical activity such as walking before and after lung cancer surgery may improve functional status and recovery in older patients and their family caregivers.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Administer and determine the feasibility of the perioperative physical activity intervention. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To describe patient and family caregiver outcome patterns and trajectory pre- and post-intervention. II. Using qualitative methods, evaluate the acceptability of the intervention through brief, semi-structured interviews with patients and family caregivers. OUTLINE: Patients and family caregivers complete comprehensive geriatric and functional assessments before surgery. This information is used to develop a personalized walking program plus simple lower extremity strength exercises. The intervention is administered by trained coaches with physical and occupational therapy background. The sessions are delivered by telephone before surgery (30-60 minutes), and on days 2, 7, 14, and 21 after hospital discharge (20-50 minutes). Participants will also receive brief motivational text or email messages (4 times per week between telephone sessions) to provide support, promote physical activity behavior change, and to sustain participant engagement. Patients and family caregivers are followed up to day 30 after hospital discharge.
