Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this research study is to examine the feasibility of the enhanced survivorship care plans (ESCPs, regular SCPs with the a web-based couple-focused symptom self-management project (PERC) or National Cancer Institute prostate cancer web links) and to conduct an initial benefit assessment of enhanced survivorship care plans among prostate cancer patients transitioning from active treatment to post-treatment self-management, and their partners. Participation of this study lasts for about for 16 weeks. Depending on participants' need for information, it takes 10-30 minutes of their time each week to review the information about prostate cancer. Eligible and consented patients with newly treated localized prostate cancer and your partner (couples) are randomly assigned to the regular survivorship care plan (SCPs) with the NCI website or the enhanced survivorship care plans (SCP plus the web-based prostate cancer education program, PERC) groups. They complete baseline (T1, prior to randomization) and 4-month post-T1 follow-up measures (T2).
