Abstract

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality in Iran and is the third most common cancer in male population. Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the necessity and efficacy of establishing a specific rehabilitation center for patients with prostate cancer. Methods: In this basic-applied research, we proposed the establishment of a rehabilitation center to support and decrease the complications of various treatments in patients with prostate cancer. After entering the rehabilitation process, a well-educated nurse and general physician trained in one of the similar European centers supported the patients to help themselves cope with unresolvable symptoms. To evaluate the patients’ satisfaction with the services offered by this rehabilitation center, the patients were asked to fill the Prostate Cancer-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire seven months after the first session. Results: In this study, 133 patients with prostate cancer (71 persons in the control group and 62 persons in the conservative treatment group) underwent the analysis. The participants’ mean age was 62.8 ± 2.31 years in the control group and 63.3 ± 4.54 years in the treatment group (P = 0.613). Moreover, the participants’ mean lifestyle scores were 5.3 ± 2.5 and 5.8 ± 2.8 in the control and treatment groups before the supportive care, respectively (P = 0.460). However, following the intervention, the scores were 5.3 ± 2.1 and 7.6 ± 1.9 in the control and treatment groups, respectively (P = 0.001). The mean lifestyle score was significantly higher after supportive care in the treatment group (P = 0.001). Conclusions: A prostate cancer-specified rehabilitation center providing supportive care by an educated healthcare professional can significantly improve the quality of life of patients with prostate cancer.

癌症前列腺患者康复中心的建立
背景:前列腺癌症是伊朗死亡的主要原因之一,也是男性中第三常见的癌症。目的:本研究旨在评估建立癌症患者康复中心的必要性和有效性。方法:在这项基础应用研究中,我们建议建立一个康复中心,以支持和减少癌症患者各种治疗的并发症。在进入康复过程后,一位受过良好教育的护士和在类似的欧洲中心接受培训的普通医生支持患者帮助自己应对无法解决的症状。为了评估患者对该康复中心提供的服务的满意度,要求患者在第一次治疗后7个月填写前列腺癌相关生活质量问卷。结果:本研究对133例前列腺癌症患者(对照组71例,保守治疗组62例)进行了分析。受试者的平均年龄在对照组为62.8±2.31岁,在治疗组为63.3±4.54岁(P=0.613)。此外,在支持性护理之前,受试者在对照组和治疗组的平均生活方式得分分别为5.3±2.5和5.8±2.8(P=0.460)。然而,在干预之后,对照组和治疗组的得分分别为5.3±2.1和7.6±1.9,治疗组在接受支持性护理后的平均生活方式得分显著高于对照组(P=0.001)。
