Randomised controlled trial of early intervention to improve sexual and couple functioning after prostate cancer

局部前列腺癌的治疗对澳大利亚男性及其亲密伴侣的性行为、生活质量和关系质量有长期的负面影响。本研究将对该患者和护理人员群体进行基于远程访问夫妇的性干预，这有可能更广泛地转化为社区和急性卫生保健环境。这种方法也将更广泛地应用于其他健康状况的慢性疾病自我管理。

Treatment for localised prostate cancer has a long term negative impact on the sexuality, quality of life, and relationship quality of Australian men and their intimate partners. This study will trial a remote access couples based sexuality intervention for this patient and carer group that has potential for broader translation into community and acute health care settings. This approach will also have broader application for chronic disease self management for other health conditions.
