Effectiveness Evaluation of a Self-management Program for Prostate Cancer Survivors

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 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.
