Individualized Preoperative Rehabilitation Pilot (iPREHAB)

February 27, 2018 updated by: Juliane Bingener-Casey, Mayo Clinic

Individualized Preoperative Rehabilitation (iPREHAB) Pilot

A pilot to test feasibility of improving patient/caretaker quality of life and resilience.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Our overall goal is to investigate if pre-operative interventions can address patients' and patients' care givers quality of life/resilience deficits and thus improve outcomes. This initial pilot study will test the feasibility of offering patients and their care givers prehabilitation interventions prior to complex gastrointestinal surgery such as pancreatectomy, esophagectomy, proctectomy, or hepatectomy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Preoperative Rehabilitation

Patient & caregiver input regarding 'single biggest concern right now' (modified BEACON buttons) will be elicited. Information gathered by the study team which includes a trained nursing coach and the patient/caregiver will together develop an individualized 'toolbox' of possible interventions to improve preoperative quality of life.

Candidate interventions include, but not limited to: Participation in SMART program, caregiver participation in Caregivers study protocol MC1295 (IRB 13-002943), nutritional recommendations (deficiencies, immuno-nutrition), low impact resistance training/tai chi, referral to financial or counseling services, establishment of information sources & plans for concerns not frequently covered in clinical practice such as sleeplessness, spiritual assistance.

Identify patients' and patients' care givers quality of life/resilience deficits and supply information and resources prior to undergoing complex GI surgery.
