Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The incidence rate of prostate cancer has been increasing rapidly in China in recent years. However, a large number of studies have shown that, patients with prostate cancer during hormonal therapy generally face the imbalance of high information demand and low information acquisition, which affects their mental health and quality of life, and even reduces their treatment adherence. Thus, the investigators designed a randomized control study in one cancer center in Shanghai. Prostate cancer patients during hormonal therapy were followed up in the urology clinic and ward, and then they were randomly divided into control group and experimental group according to the order of enrollment. The control group was given routine information communication, and the experimental group was given information support program intervention on this basis. The effects of the intervention was evaluated after 3 months. The investigators expected that the information support program would be helpful to improve patients' self-efficacy level, and to enhance their confidence in self-management and coping with difficulties, so as to improve patients' adherence of health behaviors and improve their health-related quality of life.
