PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Test the feasibility and acceptability of the video-based intervention.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To describe incidence, degree, and duration of screen-related anxiety among individuals scheduled to undergo low-dose computed tomography (CT) scan (LDCT) for lung cancer screening (LCS).
II. To describe baseline patient characteristics and pre-screening anxiety levels.
III. To describe the preliminary outcomes on screen-related anxiety for patients both not in the intervention group and those in the intervention group.
OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 groups.
GROUP I: Patients receive standard of care following LCS consisting of routine visits and telephone contact with the LCS program nurse practitioner and coordinator.
GROUP II: Patients undergo a video-based intervention prior to undergoing LCS. Patients watch a 5-minute video that focuses on preparing patients for LCS by providing information on the following: program team and contact information; reason to be screened; screening eligibility; how screening is performed; what to expect on the day of screening; what to expect after screening; what to expect if result is positive; what to expect if result is negative; and risks of screening. Patients also receive an educational handbook. Patients with positive scans (a Lung-Imaging Reporting and Data Systems \[RADS\] 3 or 4) receive additional brochure and nursing support within 1 week after notification of scan results.
After completion of LCS, patients are followed up at 1 week and then at 3 and 7 months.
