Project Summary/Abstract Sexual dysfunction is one of the most prevalent and persistent problems after cancer treatment. This fast-track STTR will create and evaluate a multimedia educational and counseling tool to promote recovery of sexual satisfaction in men treated for cancer. Second Manhood: Recovering Your Sex Life after Cancer will be viewable over the internet, on a CD or DVD, or in printed form. It will help men understand how cancer treatments cause sexual problems, learn self-help strategies to improve sexual function, and optimize use of medical treatments. Partners will get advice, self-help exercises, and communication skills training to enhance their role in resolving sexual problems. For health care professionals, we are creating the Follow-Through System for Male Sexual Dysfunction (FT) to improve the quality and continuity of care. It will provide scheduled assessments, using Interactive Voice Recording (IVR) telephony. Scheduled symptom reports with rapid responses from the clinic staff should enhance the success of treatments for erectile dysfunction, preventing the common problem of men discontinuing a prescribed treatment, and then giving up. Phase I: Aim 1 is to use focus groups and interviews to tailor the text and video vignette components of Second Manhood (SM) to a diverse audience. We will assess 130 cancer survivors of varying ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, relationship status, and cancer history. Aim 2 is to use interviews with expert health care professionals (HCP's) to design and create the FT communication interface, pilot testing it in our Sexual Medicine Clinic at UT M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. A communication skills manual for HCP's will also be created. Phase II: We will recruit 360 men from this clinic and from a county hospital. All will be cancer survivors with no current evidence of disease, off active treatment, and seeking help for sexual dysfunction. Partners will be encouraged to participate. We will use adaptive randomization to assign men to one of three groups: Usual Care in the Sexual Medicine clinic (UC), UC + SM, or UC + SM + FT. Those receiving SM will be instructed to view and interact with the application and carry out behavioral homework. All men will complete a brief questionnaire on symptoms via the IVR at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks. The IVR will call FT group men and partners at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks to complete the Treatment Satisfaction Scale (TSS). FT group members will also be encouraged to initiate calls with questions or problems. A mid-level practitioner hired for the study will follow both SM groups. Men will complete additional brief questionnaires at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks assessing overall distress, marital satisfaction, quality of life, and a broad spectrum of sexual function. The hypothesis is that improvements in sexual function and satisfaction will be significantly greater at follow-up for the SM and SM + FT groups than the UC group, but the FT group will also have significantly better outcomes than the SM group. Partner participation and extent of website usage may be moderating variables. All participants will complete a program evaluation form at week 24. During Phase II an IVR-based Sexual Medicine Hotline will be piloted to facilitate both self- and HCP referrals to the Sexual Medicine Clinic.

项目摘要/抽象性功能障碍是癌症治疗后最普遍，最持久的问题之一。这种快速轨道的STTR将创建和评估一种多媒体教育和咨询工具，以促进接受癌症治疗的男性的性满意度的恢复。第二个男子气概：在癌症之后恢复性生活将在互联网，CD或DVD或印刷形式上可见。它将帮助男性了解癌症治疗如何引起性问题，学习改善性功能的自助策略以及优化医疗治疗的使用。合作伙伴将获得建议，自助练习和沟通技巧培训，以增强他们在解决性问题中的作用。对于医疗保健专业人员，我们正在创建男性性功能障碍（FT）的后续系统，以提高护理的质量和连续性。它将使用交互式语音记录（IVR）电话提供计划的评估。临床人员的预定症状报告和临床人员的快速反应应增强勃起功能障碍的治疗方法，以防止男性停止处方治疗的常见问题，然后放弃。第一阶段：目标1是使用焦点小组和访谈来为多样化的受众量身定制第二个男子气概（SM）的文本和视频小插图。我们将评估130个不同种族，性取向，年龄，关系状况和癌症病史的癌症幸存者。 AIM 2是使用与专家医疗保健专业人员（HCP）的访谈来设计和创建FT通信界面，并在UT M. D. Anderson Cancer Center的性医学诊所进行试点对其进行测试。也将创建针对HCP的沟通技巧手册。第二阶段：我们将从该诊所和一家县医院招募360名男子。所有这些都是癌症幸存者，没有目前的疾病证据，没有主动治疗以及寻求性功能障碍的帮助。将鼓励合作伙伴参加。我们将使用自适应随机化将男性分配给三组之一：在性医学诊所（UC），UC + SM或UC + SM + FT中的通常护理。那些接收SM的人将被指示查看和与应用程序进行互动并进行行为作业。所有男人将在基线时通过IVR，12周和24周完成有关症状的简短问卷。 IVR将在2、4、6和8周以FT小组和合作伙伴打电话，以完成治疗满意度量表（TSS）。 FT小组成员还将鼓励发起问题或问题的呼叫。雇用了为研究的中级从业者将遵循两个SM组。男性将在基线，12和24周完成其他简短的问卷，以评估整体困扰，婚姻满意度，生活质量和广泛的性功能。假设是，在SM和SM + FT组的随访时，性功能和满意度的提高将明显大于UC组，但是FT组的结果也将比SM组更好。伴侣的参与和网站使用范围可能正在调节变量。所有参与者将在第24周填写计划评估表。在第二阶段，基于IVR的性医学热线将被试行，以促进自我和HCP转介到性医学诊所。
