Prostate cancer affects one in six American men. Erectile and sexual dysfunctions are long-term side effects of prostate cancer treatment. PubMed database was searched for papers on prostate cancer-related sexual recovery for men and couples. The search yielded articles on (1) the treatment of erectile dysfunction, (2) men's psychological and culturally diverse adaptation to the sexual side effects; (3) the impact of prostate cancer on couples' relationships; and (4) interventions to promote sexual function. Erectile dysfunction after prostate cancer treatment has been widely studied.Research on the sexual recovery of men and couples or understanding it in a cultural context is scarce. Greater focus on the impact of sexual sequelae of prostate cancer treatment on men as well as couples in diverse groups is needed. Clinical implications for treating sexual dysfunction and promoting sexual recovery for prostate cancer survivors and their partners are discussed. Recommendations for future research are provided.

“…They too, often had unmet information needs, particularly in relation to help with coping and on-going support after initial treatment. Consequently consideration of how to meet the information needs of partners and help to improve partners' ability to cope [29] would offer a dual benefit, for both patient and partner.…”

Objective To gain an in depth understanding of the experiences of care of men with prostate cancer and their partners Methods The study design was a qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews of men (35) who had been diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer and their partners (10). They were recruited from two hospitals in the East Midlands of England and two charities. ResultsThe interviews showed that although there was no widespread dissatisfaction with care, patients reported problems throughout care. The two main problems were that throughout care patients' and partners' information needs were often not identified or met, and patients' preferred role in decisionmaking about testing and treatment was not explored. ConclusionsIf patients' experiences of prostate cancer care are to be improved, clinicians need to identify, and respond to, the information and decision-making needs of individual patients and their partners.Practice Implications Clinicians should identify and meet the needs of patients individually, use appropriate language and formats for communicating information, fully prepare patients for tests, explore and meet the needs of patients for involvement in decision-making, and recognise the important role that their partner plays. Systems and pathways of care should be designed to enable patients and partners to obtain information and participate in decision making throughout all stages of care.

“…Further research is required to validate these assumptions. 65 There are various limitations to research and findings in this area. First, there are few studies of the prostate cancer population that consider the developmental life stage of the couple.…”

Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in men. It is fraught with both physical and psychological symptomatology. Depression, anxiety, stress, fatigue, pain and psychosocial factors all affect the patient with prostate cancer. Impotence, erectile dysfunction, sexual issues and incontinence in these patients complicate matters further. Anxiety may exist both before testing and while awaiting test results. Confusion over choosing from various interventions often adds to anxiety and depression in these patients. Various demographic factors and the developmental stage of the couple affect these psychological symptoms. The caregiver may undergo significant psychological turmoil while caring for a patient diagnosed with prostate cancer, which is addressed. The role of nurses in the management of prostate cancer is discussed. The present review looks at psychological issues in patients with prostate cancer from a clinical perspective, with the aim of highlighting these issues for the clinical urologist dealing with these patients. It also explores the consultation --liaison relationship between psychiatrists, psychologists and urologists as a team for the multimodal management of prostate cancer.
