Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if different video based coping strategies can help patients undergoing surgery for cancer can improve patients pain and distress after surgery for their cancer. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Is it possible to use video-based coping strategies to help manage pain and distress after surgery? * Is one type of coping strategy better than another? Researchers will compare mindfulness-based coping strategies (e.g., guided meditation, expressive writing, etc.) with non-mindfulness coping strategies (e.g., support from social workers and the wellness center, health education, etc.) to understand how these can help in post-surgery recovery, pain management, and distress. Participants will: * Provide their full name, date of surgery, e-mail address, and phone number and agree to be contacted via email or text messaging. * Fill out some questionnaires before surgery, which should take 10-15 minutes. * Be assigned to one of three coping strategies. * Review a video (about 15-20 minutes long) or links to online resources before surgery and respond to questions about pain and distress before and after viewing these materials. * Review additional videos or links 2, 3, and 4 days after surgery and respond to questions about pain and distress before and after viewing these materials. * Complete additional questionnaires 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery. These questionnaires will be sent by text or email and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete.
