Erectile dysfunction is a common side-effect of prostate cancer surgery that causes men suffering and hinders their sexual recovery. There are studies that describe men's and partners' distress and couples' difficulties engaging in sexual recovery. A few studies show a short-term benefit of brief psycho-social interventions such as psychoeducation and counseling. However, there is no conceptual framework to guide psychosocial treatments. We propose a model of intervention in sexual recovery that incorporates grief and mourning as a gateway to new and satisfying sexuality after prostate cancer treatment.
勃起功能障碍是前列腺癌手术的常见副作用,会导致患者痛苦,并阻碍其性功能的恢复。有研究描述了男性及其伴侣的痛苦以及夫妻在进行性恢复方面的困难。一些研究表明,短期的心理社会干预(如心理教育和咨询)有一定益处。然而,目前尚无指导心理社会治疗的概念框架。我们提出了一种性恢复干预模型,将悲伤和哀悼作为前列腺癌治疗后获得新的满意性生活的途径。
