“…Currently, very little is reported on the management of the sexual disability and overall sexual rehabilitation after radical prostatectomy [ 22 ]. The data presented is predominantly focused on how many preoperatively fully potent men have residual sufficient EF (with or without oral PDE-5 inhibitors) postoperatively [ 17 ].…”

IntroductionTo prospectively evaluate if the inclusion of a clinical sexologist in a penile and sexual rehabilitation program improves sexual function one year after prostate cancer surgery.Material and methodsTwelve months after da Vinci Radical Prostatectomy (dVRP) for prostate cancer, 28 fully potent (IIEF-5 >21) and sexually active men (ages 47-69 years, mean 61) who, in 2008, were enrolled in a prospectively monitored penile rehabilitation program (reference group) were compared with 79 fully potent (IIEF-5 >21) and sexually active men (ages 45-74 years, mean 61) enrolled in 2009 (study group); whose program differed by the inclusion of evaluation and treatment by a clinical sexologist.ResultsTwelve months after dVRP, seventeen patients in the reference group (61%) were sexually active with regular penetrating sexual activity compared to sixty-six (84%) in the study group (p = 0.02). These findings were independent of whether they had undergone a nerve sparing or non-nerve sparing procedure. Almost 94% (74 patients) in the study group had at some time been able to perform penetrating sexual activity; 14 patients required additional visits to the clinical sexologist beyond the routine follow-up, 9 for short-term cognitive behavior therapy.ConclusionsInclusion of a clinical sexologist in a penile and sexual rehabilitation program appears to improve the ability to have regular sexual activity with penetrating sex one year after da Vinci Robotic Radical Prostatectomy.

“…Another review study (57) showed that psychosocial interventions aiming to improve QoL, self-efficacy and knowledge and reducing distress, uncertainty and depression in men with prostate cancer produced only minor QoL improvements by the end of the study. Additionally, this study found no clear evidence that these interventions improved self-efficacy or reduced uncertainty, distress or depression.…”

Objective: To map the scientific evidence published in the literature about nursing strategies and intervention programs directed at supporting psychological adaptation in adult cancer patients. Method: A scoping review based on Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers’ Manual 2015 Methodology for JBI Scoping Reviews was conducted. Twelve databases were searched between 1 January 2012 and 31 January 2019. Results: From 2203 studies, 32 were included. Evidence was grouped in five subjects: procedures, outcome assessment measures, nursing feasibility, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. The cognitive-behavioral therapy was most frequent intervention. These interventions were developed between 5 to 10 weeks, included 3 to 6 sessions and lasted up to 60 minutes. Despite a wide range of outcome measures employed, three main areas were identified, adjustment and coping; stress, anxiety and fear of recurrence; and quality of life. Conclusion: This review allowed to identify nursing strategies to support psychological adaptation in adult cancer patients, to assess vulnerabilities and difficulties related to nurse interventions and to recognize the need for further insights into the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness.

“…Traditional face-to-face psychoeducational interventions in cancer patients have been shown to yield small-to-medium positive effects on distress and quality of life, although problems with study quality and heterogeneity have to be acknowledged [ 56 - 59 ]. Internet-based interventions targeting these domains are gradually appearing and tend to give comparable results [ 60 - 62 ].…”

Effect of a Website That Presents Patients’ Experiences on Self-Efficacy and Patient Competence of Colorectal Cancer Patients: Web-Based Randomized Controlled Trial

BackgroundPatients often seek other patients’ experiences with the disease. The Internet provides a wide range of opportunities to share and learn about other people’s health and illness experiences via blogs or patient-initiated online discussion groups. There also exists a range of medical information devices that include experiential patient information. However, there are serious concerns about the use of such experiential information because narratives of others may be powerful and pervasive tools that may hinder informed decision making. The international research network DIPEx (Database of Individual Patients’ Experiences) aims to provide scientifically based online information on people’s experiences with health and illness to fulfill patients’ needs for experiential information, while ensuring that the presented information includes a wide variety of possible experiences.ObjectiveThe aim is to evaluate the colorectal cancer module of the German DIPEx website krankheitserfahrungen.de with regard to self-efficacy for coping with cancer and patient competence.MethodsIn 2015, a Web-based randomized controlled trial was conducted using a two-group between-subjects design and repeated measures. The study sample consisted of individuals who had been diagnosed with colorectal cancer within the past 3 years or who had metastasis or recurrent disease. Outcome measures included self-efficacy for coping with cancer and patient competence. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group that had immediate access to the colorectal cancer module for 2 weeks or to a waiting list control group. Outcome criteria were measured at baseline before randomization and at 2 weeks and 6 weeksResultsThe study randomized 212 persons. On average, participants were 54 (SD 11.1) years old, 58.8% (124/211) were female, and 73.6% (156/212) had read or heard stories of other patients online before entering the study, thus excluding any influence of the colorectal cancer module on krankheitserfahrungen.de. No intervention effects were found at 2 and 6 weeks after baseline.ConclusionsThe results of this study do not support the hypothesis that the website studied may increase self-efficacy for coping with cancer or patient competencies such as self-regulation or managing emotional distress. Possible explanations may involve characteristics of the website itself, its use by participants, or methodological reasons. Future studies aimed at evaluating potential effects of websites providing patient experiences on the basis of methodological principles such as those of DIPEx might profit from extending the range of outcome measures, from including additional measures of website usage behavior and users’ motivation, and from expanding concepts, such as patient competency to include items that more directly reflect patients’ perceived effects of using such a website.Trial RegistrationClinicaltrials.gov NCT02157454; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02157454 (Archived by WebCite at http://www.webcitation.org/6syrvwXxi)
