The supportive care needs of men with prostate cancer (2000)

Symptoms, psychological distress, and supportive care needs in lung cancer patients

“…This was inconsistent with previous research [17,18,34] showing that patients with higher depression had increased information care needs. Our patients had a higher prevalence of clinical depression (25.7%) than those in other studies.…”

Prostate cancer support groups, health literacy and consumerism: Are community-based volunteers re-defining older men’s health?

“…Waiting for doctor appointments or treatment(s) afforded many participants time to find out as much as they could about their prostate cancer, and our observations that PCSGs afforded accessible resources supports conclusions drawn by other researchers (Cordova et al, 2003;Gray et al, 1996Gray et al, , 1997Gray et al, , 2002Gray et al, , 2000bGregoire et al, 1997;Katz et al, 2002;Manne, 2002;Sharp and Aviv, 1996;Steginga et al, 2001Steginga et al, , 2002. As a 76-year-old man who had attended PCSG meetings for eight years described, there was a common sequence of events that brought 'new' men to support groups: Before they even go to the specialist they will come down to a meeting to find out what treatments are available.…”

“…The findings drawn from this research confirm the usefulness of PCSGs as detailed in previous studies (Coreil and Ravish, 1999;Gray et al, 1996Gray et al, , 1997Gray et al, , 2000aManne, 2002;Steginga et al, 2001;Thaxton et al, 2005). Moreover, our findings extend earlier work by illustrating how PCSGs can mobilize men's health literacy and consumerism in ways that reproduce as well as contest biomedical conceptions of bodily pathology and risk discourses in prostate cancer care.…”

“Prostate cancer is far more hidden…”: Perceptions of stigma, social isolation and help-seeking among men with prostate cancer

“…Across many of the themes in this study, the needs of single (unpartnered) men and younger men with prostate cancer were unique and more acute. This is consistent with previous quantitative studies which have documented that men with prostate cancer may experience poorer psychological adjustment, or greater unmet need due to personal circumstances such as age and marital status (Chambers et al., , ; Fergus et al., ; Steginga et al., ). However, this study provides further qualitative insight into why this greater unmet need and poorer adjustment may occur.…”
