This study aimed to explore men's experiences of social support after non-nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy. A qualitative study based on Gadamer's hermeneutic phenomenology was designed. In-depth interviews were conducted with 16 men who had undergone a non-nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy. Data analysis was performed using ATLAS.ti software. From this analysis, two main themes emerged: "The partner as a source of support and conflict after a prostatectomy," which includes empathetic reconnection with the partner and changes in sexual and cohabitation patterns and "The importance of social and professional circles," which addresses the shortcomings of the healthcare system in terms of sexual information and counseling as well as the role of friends within social support. The study suggests the need to establish interventions that address interpersonal communication and attention to social and informational support and include both the patient and those closest to them.
本研究旨在探讨非神经保留根治性前列腺切除术后男性的社会支持体验。设计了一项基于伽达默尔解释学现象学的定性研究。对 16 名接受非神经保留根治性前列腺切除术的男性进行了深入访谈。使用 ATLAS.ti 软件进行数据分析。从这个分析中，出现了两个主要主题：“前列腺切除术后伴侣作为支持和冲突的源泉”，包括与伴侣的同理心重新建立以及性和同居模式的变化，以及“社会和职业圈子的重要性”，涉及到医疗保健系统在性信息和咨询方面的不足以及朋友在社会支持中的作用。该研究表明，需要建立干预措施，解决人际沟通问题，关注社会和信息支持，并将患者及其最亲近的人都包括在内。
