Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to learn about the effect of a structured educational intervention in patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer. The study will examine whether this intervention can improve patients' acceptance of the disease, quality of life, pain levels, and postoperative clinical and biometric outcomes.

The main question it aims to answer is: Does a structured educational intervention improve disease acceptance, quality of life, pain levels, and postoperative clinical and biometric outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer? Participants are assigned to two groups. Participants in the intervention group receive a structured educational intervention in addition to usual care, while participants in the control group receive usual care only. Data are collected through questionnaires and clinical and biometric measurements after surgery, with follow-up assessments over a 5-year period.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Structured Educational Intervention

The structured educational intervention is delivered to patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer in addition to usual care. It includes printed educational material and individualized education about lung cancer, imaging-based staging, histological findings and final disease staging, possible adjuvant treatments, the surgical procedure, postoperative drains, surgical incisions and wound care, postoperative recovery, respiratory exercises, pain management, relaxation techniques, sleep, lifestyle modification, nutrition, smoking, alcohol use, physical activity, permitted weight limits, and follow-up care. A caregiver is required to participate in the educational session together with the patient.

Usual Care

Usual care consists of standard clinical care provided according to the protocol of the Thoracic Surgery Department of the referral center. Participants receiving usual care undergo the same study assessments as the intervention group but do not receive the structured educational intervention.
