Brief Title: Effectiveness Evaluation of a Self-management Program for Prostate Cancer Survivors
Official Title: Development and Effectiveness Evaluation of a Self-management Program for Prostate Cancer Survivors
Study ID: NCT05335967
Brief Summary: Objectives: This project aims to develop a self-management program for survivors with prostate cancer experiencing urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy and determine its effectiveness. Methods: The investigators will develop a self-management program and conduct a pilot study on survivors with prostate cancer experiencing urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy. And the investigators will test the effectiveness of the self-management program. After completing a pretest, participants will be randomly assigned to the experimental or control group. The self-management group will receive the self-management program for 12 weeks, whereas the information group will receive an information package on a healthy diet. Posttests will be administered 12 and 16 weeks after the pretest. The study variables will include physical symptoms and bothers, cancer-related self-efficacy, social participation, demoralization, and resilience.

The self-management program is included a self-management application, a self-management manual, and professional support. The information package consists of a manual on a healthy diet and a multimedia film on a healthy diet. Posttests will be administered 12 and 16 weeks after the pretest. The study variables will include physical symptoms and bothers, cancer-related self-efficacy, social participation, demoralization, and resilience. The statistical analyses will consist of independent sample t-tests, Chi-squire, and generalized estimating equation analysis.
