Multimedia-Based Hormone Therapy Information Program

Ching-Hui Chien, PhD

This study takes place in the Divisions of Urology. Patients who have only received hormonal therapy will be enrolled. Patients will be randomly sorted into an experimental group and a control group after completing a pretest questionnaire. The experimental group will receive the the multimedia hormone therapy information program once per week for 6 consecutive weeks, while the control group will receive routine care. The follow-up data collections will be completed at 8 and 12 weeks after the pretest. For quantitative measurement, the main variables will be social support, self-efficacy, quality of life, and positive thinking.

This study takes place in the Divisions of Urology at Chang Gung Memorial Hospitals. Patients who have only received hormonal therapy will be enrolled. With reference to past research findings, self-efficacy theory, and experts' advice, a multimedia hormone therapy information program was developed. The multimedia hormone therapy information program covered 6 topics, namely the recognition of hormone therapy and multimedia information programs, mindfulness, exercise, stress relief, positive thinking, and prevention or reduction of fatigue. A pilot study will be conducted to check the feasibility of intervention study design and the effectiveness of the program will be tested. Patients will be randomly sorted into an experimental group (multimedia information group, n = 36 to 40) and a control group (routine care group, n = 36 to 40) after completing a pretest questionnaire. The experimental group will receive the multimedia information intervention once per week for 6 consecutive weeks, while the control group will receive routine care. The follow-up data collections will be completed at 8 and 12 weeks after the pretest. For quantitative measurement, the main variables will be social support, self-efficacy, quality of life, positive thinking, and satisfaction with program. Generalized Estimating Equations (GEEs) will be used to o analyze data.

The data of this study will be kept and managed by PI of Ching-Hui Chien.

Body Mass Index in kg/m2 will be computed from height and body weight

Perceived health status. A 11-point (0-100) scoring method was used. Higher scores indicate better health condition.

Five items were self-designed to understand the satisfaction of men in the experimental group. A 11-point (0-100) scoring method was used. Higher scores indicate higher satisfaction.

A total of 39 items, including five subdimensions, namely, physical well-being, social/family well-being, emotional well-being, functional well-being, and prostate cancer subscales. A 5-point scoring method was adopted. Higher scores indicate higher quality of life

A total of 18 items, including two subscales of personal satisfaction and goal pursuit. A five-point (1-5) scoring method was used. Higher scores indicate a higher level of positive thinking

11 items were used, the score of each item ranges from 0 to 100 points. Higher scores indicate fewer hormonal symptoms.

The total scale contains 10 items and a 4-point (1-4) scoring method was adopted. Higher scores indicate higher self-efficacy

A total of 16 items, including four sub-scales of emotional, informational, appraisal, and instrumental support. A 4-point scoring method (0-3) was used. Higher scores indicate stronger support.
