This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.
Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) bathing is an effective intervention to reduce hospitalized patient's risk of acquiring a central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI). While daily CHG bathing for hospitalized patients is widely supported in the literature, patient adherence with this practice is suboptimal. Written and verbal information is provided to patients by nursing staff regarding the importance of CHG bathing and the correct usage of the CHG cloths; however, these methods can be hindered by literacy and language barriers. Medical videos have become popular avenues to provide necessary education to patients, and have been shown to improve patient-reported outcomes. Whereas the benefits of educational videos has been described in previous studies on advanced care planning and postoperative quality of life, they have not been described for CHG bathing. In this study, we aim to provide education (including the rationale/importance of CHG bathing, and the appropriate process for bathing) through the use of a short video provided to hospitalized patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of medical videos to educate patients on CHG bathing while hospitalized in the inpatient setting.

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
