Effects of Patient Centered Interventions on Persistent Urinary Incontinence after Prostate Cancer Treatment: A Randomized, Controlled Trial

Abstract

Study findings show that pelvic floor muscle exercise practice plus symptom self-management in a peer support setting can significantly improve urinary continence and quality of life in patients with prostate cancer.

Self-Management Intervention for Adult Cancer Survivors After Treatment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…Qualitative synthesis revealed that program content focused only on medical/behavioral management (Foster et al, 2016;Lee et al, 2014;Yun et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2015) and emotional management (Braamse et al, 2016;Germino et al, 2013;Gil et al, 2006;Mishel et al, 2005;Olesen et al, 2016;Owen et al, 2005;van den Berg et al, 2015). Healthcare professionals should be aware of the importance of role management, including in the family, at work, in communication, and in independent living.…”

“…The majority of SMIs (n = 7) dealt with emotional management, including distress management (Braamse et al, 2016;van den Berg et al, 2015), uncertainty management (Germino et al, 2013;Gil et al, 2006;Mishel et al, 2005), empowerment (Olesen et al, 2016), and coping (Owen et al, 2005). Four trials targeted medical/behavioral management, such as fatigue management (Foster et al, 2016;Yun et al, 2012), incontinence management (Zhang et al, 2015), or exercise and diet (Lee et al, 2014). Only one trial (Risendal et al, 2015) applied a multicomponent intervention, combining medical, role, and emotional management.…”

“…The most common mode of delivery was webbased, either alone (n = 5) or combined with a faceto-face encounter (n = 1). Four trials were administered face-to-face (two alone, one combined with the Internet, and one via telephone) (Olesen et al, 2016;Owen et al, 2005;Risendal et al, 2015;Zhang et al, 2015). Three were administered via telephone combined with audio recording (Germino et al, 2013;Gil et al, 2006;Mishel et al, 2005).…”

“…Researchers asked participants to access the research website regularly (one to two times per week) (Braamse et al, 2016;Foster et al, 2016;Lee et al, 2014;van den Berg et al, 2015) in a self-guided (Owen et al, 2005) or tailored (Yun et al, 2012) manner. In trials using a telephone (Germino et al, 2013;Gil et al, 2006;Mishel et al, 2005;Zhang et al, 2015), the duration of the interven-tion ranged from 4-12 weeks, and time per session ranged from 20-45 minutes ( -X = 31.3 minutes). The most frequently used self-management skill was problem solving (n = 10).…”

A experiência do homem com câncer de próstata na perspectiva da antropologia das masculinidades

“…restabelecer a musculatura do esfíncter, deixando as margens dessa discussão os sentidos que os adoecidos elaboram sobre esta experiência. Entretanto, uma evidência é comum em seus resultados, a incontinência urinária está presente em mais de 40% dos homens que se submetem ao tratamento do CP (MAO et al, 2015;ZHANG et al, 2015). Este dado nos leva a refletir que todos os anos muitos homens acometidos pela doença também sofrem com questões identitárias consequentes da incontinência.…”
