The most difficult survivorship issue reported by prostate cancer patients is the dramatic changes in their sexual relationships. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a workshop designed to improve patients' and partners' sexual relationships.
Participants attended one 3.5-h workshop. A total of three separate workshops were held over a 12-month period. Patients and partners complete the Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (SFQ) prior, 2 months following, and if couples registered early enough, 2 months before the workshop. Change scores were calculated.
Over the three workshops, 77 participants attended. All targets were met for feasibility and acceptability. Patients and partners both demonstrated significant gains on the medical impact subscale of the SFQ, and partners also demonstrated significant gains in sexual interest, problems, and total sexual function.
The results suggest that attending one 3.5-h workshop that is offered every 4 months is feasible and acceptable to patients and their partners. Furthermore, the SFQ proves to be a sensitive assessment instrument of sexual function for patients and their partners.
前列腺癌患者报告的最困难的生存问题是其性关系的急剧变化。本研究的目的是调查旨在改善患者及其伴侣性关系的研讨会的可行性。
参与者参加了一个 3.5 小时的研讨会。共举办了三个单独的研讨会，为期 12 个月。患者和伴侣在参加研讨会之前、2 个月后以及如果夫妇尽早注册，在研讨会前 2 个月填写性健康问卷（SFQ）。计算变化分数。
在三个研讨会上，共有 77 名参与者参加。所有的可行性和可接受性目标都达到了。患者和伴侣在 SFQ 的医疗影响子量表上都有显著的改善，伴侣在性兴趣、问题和总性功能方面也有显著的改善。
结果表明，每 4 个月参加一次 3.5 小时的研讨会对患者及其伴侣来说是可行和可接受的。此外，SFQ 被证明是评估患者及其伴侣性功能的敏感工具。
