The primary objective was to determine the feasibility of implementing the TrueNTH SHAReClinic as a pan-Canadian sexual health and rehabilitation intervention for patients treated for localized prostate cancer.
The feasibility study was designed to evaluate the accessibility and acceptability of the intervention. Participants from five institutions across Canada were enrolled to attend one pre-treatment and five follow-up online clinic visits over 1 year following their prostate cancer (PC) treatment.
Sixty-five patients were enrolled in the intervention. Website analytics revealed that 71% completed the intervention in its entirety, including the educational modules, with an additional 10% completing more than half of the intervention. Five thousand eighty-three views of the educational modules were made along with 654 views of the health library items. Over 1500 messages were exchanged between participants and their sexual health coaches. At 12 months, the intervention received an overall average participant rating of 4.1 out of 5 on a single item satisfaction measure.
Results support the TrueNTH SHAReClinic as highly acceptable to participants as defined by intervention adherence and engagement. The TrueNTH SHAReClinic demonstrated promise for being a feasible and potentially resource-efficient approach to effectively improving the sexual well-being of patients after PC treatment.
主要目的是确定在加拿大范围内实施 TrueNTH SHAReClinic 作为一种针对局部前列腺癌患者的性健康和康复干预措施的可行性。
这项可行性研究旨在评估干预措施的可及性和可接受性。从加拿大五家机构招募参与者，在接受前列腺癌 (PC) 治疗后 1 年内参加一次治疗前和五次在线诊所随访。
共有 65 名患者参与了该干预措施。网站分析显示，71%的患者完整完成了干预措施，包括教育模块，另有 10%的患者完成了超过一半的干预措施。有 5083 次查看了教育模块，有 654 次查看了健康图书馆项目。参与者和他们的性健康教练之间交换了 1500 多条信息。在 12 个月时，干预措施在一项满意度单项评估中获得了参与者平均 4.1 的总体评分。
结果支持 TrueNTH SHAReClinic 作为一种高度可接受的干预措施，这是根据干预措施的依从性和参与度来定义的。TrueNTH SHAReClinic 有望成为一种可行且具有潜在资源效益的方法，能够有效地改善 PC 治疗后患者的性健康。
