Objective: Investigate, in the literature, nursing interventions to promote urinary continence and adapt to sexual dysfunction after radical prostatectomy. Methods: Integrative literature review in the databases PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, and LILACS, using the descriptors "nursing care", "urinary incontinence", "erectile dysfunction", and "prostatectomy", and the keywords "nurse", "male sexual impotence" and "radical prostatectomy". Results: Eighteen publications were included, eight of which described interventions for urinary incontinence, fi ve for sexual dysfunction and fi ve for both complications. Three intervention strategies were found: 16 interventions for incontinence and 12 for sexual dysfunction. Conclusion: In the implementation strategies of interventions, the importance of nurses using different resources to attend to patients was observed. For urinary incontinence, the focus of interventions varied among educational, behavioral and physical. For sexual dysfunction, a predominance of psychoeducational actions was observed, involving the patients and, when possible the sexual partners. ResumoObjetivo: Investigar, na literatura, intervenções de enfermagem para promover continência urinária e adaptação à disfunção sexual após prostatectomia radical. Métodos: Revisão integrativa da literatura nas bases de dados PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, e LILACS, utilizando os descritores "cuidados de enfermagem", "incontinência urinária", "disfunção erétil", e "prostatectomia" e as palavras chaves "enf*", "impotência sexual masculina" e "prostatectomia radical". Resultados: Dezoito publicações foram incluídas, entre essas, oito descreviam intervenções para a incontinência urinária, cinco para disfunção sexual e cinco para ambas as complicações. Foram encontradas três estratégias para implementação das intervenções, 16 intervenções para incontinência e 12 para disfunção sexual. Conclusão: Nas estratégias para implementação das intervenções, notou-se a importância de que o enfermeiro utilize diferentes recursos para assistir os pacientes. Para a incontinência urinária, o foco das intervenções variou entre educativo, comportamental e físico. Para disfunção sexual, observou-se um predomínio de ações psicoeducativas aos pacientes e, quando possível, ao parceiro sexual.

Aims and objectives To explore and analyse prostate cancer survivors` experiences and critical reflections of information received during their cancer trajectory. Background Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in men worldwide. Treatment causes side effects such as urinary incontinence, bowel changes and erection problems influencing sex life and manhood. Cancer pathways are designed to give patients and their relatives a predictable and as stress‐free as possible treatment trajectory and minimise waiting time. Design Qualitative, explorative research design. Methods Focus groups with 16 prostate cancer survivors after having participated in an educational programme. The COREQ checklist was followed to ensure rigour in the study. Results The main theme, ‘Help me stay in control’, and three subthemes, ‘To be met with interest and support, enough knowledge to understand what is happening and a plan to build the new life on’, emerged from qualitative analysis and highlighted the participants’ need for information and support, specially scheduled at critical times in the treatment trajectory: the diagnostic phase, the treatment phase and the life after treatment. They also highlighted the need for empathy and interest from healthcare professionals and highlighted the need for arenas to discuss vulnerable topics. Contact with peers was perceived as supportive and encouraging. Conclusion Healthcare professionals must support prostate cancer survivors with empathy, interest and information tailored to their needs in three different phases. Continuity in information flow may increase trust and satisfaction among the prostate cancer survivors. Relevance to clinical practice PCa patients’ need for information varied at critical times in their treatment trajectory. HCP should meet them with empathy and interest to be able to tailor their need for information and support.

Body image, self-esteem, and sense of masculinity in patients with prostate cancer: a qualitative meta-synthesis

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose Body image, self-esteem, and masculinity are three interconnected constructs in men with prostate cancer, with profound effects on quality of life. This meta-synthesis aimed to evaluate all known qualitative studies published studying the effect of prostate cancer on these constructs. Methods A systematic review utilising PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO databases up to May 2020 was conducted in line with PRISMA and ENTREQ guidelines. All qualitative studies of men’s experiences with body image, self-esteem, and masculinity whilst living with prostate cancer were included. A thematic meta-synthesis was conducted to identify emergent descriptive and analytical themes under the main study constructs. Results Of 2188 articles identified, 68 were included. Eight descriptive themes were identified under two analytical themes: ‘Becoming a Prostate Cancer Patient’ and ‘Becoming a Prostate Cancer Survivor’. These described the distress caused by changes to body image, sexual functioning, sense of masculinity, and self-esteem, and the subsequent discourses men engaged with to cope with and manage their disease. A key element was increased flexibility in masculinity definitions, and finding other ways to re-affirm masculinity. Conclusions Prostate cancer has an important effect on men’s health post-diagnosis, and we identified strong relationships between each construct evaluated. The role of hegemonic masculinity is important when considering men’s coping mechanisms and is also a key factor when addressing these constructs in counselling post-treatment. Implications for Cancer Survivors This meta-synthesis provides key topics that uniquely affect prostate cancer survivors, enabling these patients to be effectively counselled, and have their concerns recognised by clinicians.
