Part A will use focus groups to gain feedback and refine the intervention. Part B will consist of a randomized pilot study where 70 men will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions: Sexual Medicine Rehabilitation (SMRP) plus nurse practitioner information phone calls and monitoring (SMRP+I), or SMRP plus the novel psychological intervention of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for ED (SMRP+ACT-ED).

Baseline Assessment which is 90-minute patient focus group interviews. SMRP, provided to all participating patients, consists of the following steps: 1) An introductory visit with SMRP Director, Dr. Mulhall, to orient the patient to post-surgery erectile rehabilitation and assess the patient"s success with PDE-5 inhibitors; 2) Penile injection training provided by a NP over two visits, with follow-up calls as necessary until injection method and dose are deemed correct; 3) Follow-up visits with Dr. Mulhall every 4 months to monitor progress with rehabilitation. Study assessments will be administered at baseline, at 4-8 months post baseline (follow up 1) and 4-8- months post follow up 1 (follow up 2).

Sexual Medicine Rehabilitation Program + Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction

Christian Nelson, PhD

The investigators know that treatment for prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction can impact sexual health and quality of life. They want to learn how the treatment affects one's emotional and social well-being.

They have developed a new type of counseling. Cancer patients seek counseling for lots of reasons. It often helps them cope because they can express their feelings with a trained professional. They hope that this counseling will teach patients skills that they can use to comply with erectile treatment programs, improve their sexual health and quality of life. These skills may also improve physical and emotional well-being. As part of this study they will ask the patient to provide feedback on the proposed counseling.
