“…For many, these side effects will 'be less acceptable than the disease itself' (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence [NICE], 2014, p.117), causing chronic psychological distress (Wootten & Siddons, 2013), difficulties with body image, masculinity and self-esteem (Harrington, 2011;Oliffe, 2005), and impaired quality of current and future partner/marital relationships and sexual intimacy (Beck, Robinson & Carlson, 2009;Penson and Nelson, 2009; see also Tucker, Peters & Speer, 2016).…”

“…, and associated psychological distress and depression (Bill-Axelson et al, 2013;Jung et al, 2016;Ream et al, 2008;Wootten & Siddons, 2013). Post treatment, many experience difficulties with body image, masculinity and self-esteem (Appleton et al, 2015;Harrington, 2011) and impaired quality of current and future partner/marital relationships and sexual intimacy (Appleton et al, 2015;Tucker et al, 2016).…”

Objective: The objective of this study is to explore the specific information and communication needs of men affected by prostate cancer to inform the development of educational materials for clinicians.Methods: This is a qualitative descriptive study. A purposive sampling strategy was used to identify men at different cancer stages and with experience of different treatment regimens. Semistructured interviews (25) were conducted with 19 men and six carers over the phone. Interview data were analysed using a framework approach.Results: Four themes emerged: gaps in the information provided by secondary care doctors and nurses, communication skills needed in effective clinical information provision, a need for individualised information and alternative information sources used to meet unmet needs. Regardless of cancer stage and treatment, men with prostate cancer and their carers found information regarding common and burdensome adverse effects of prostate cancer treatment particularly lacking, and their ongoing and changing information needs often overlooked. They needed information delivered in a compassionate and individually tailored manner, considering content, timing and emotional support within the context of their unique life circumstances. Conclusion:Clinicians often fail to recognise the need for or deliver patient-centred conversations about treatment, managing side effects and prognosis. The findings will be used to develop clinician-facing educational materials.
