Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Men's Health
  • Patient Support

Background:

  • Urinary incontinence is a recognized complication following prostate surgery.
  • The physical and psychological needs of men experiencing this are often unmet.
  • Limited patient-specific information exists for men with postoperative urinary incontinence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the reasons why men with prostate surgery-related urinary incontinence do not seek help.
  • To identify the specific information needs of these patients.
  • To develop a strategy for addressing the challenges of postoperative urinary incontinence in men.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative exploration of men's reasons for not seeking help.
  • Elicitation of information requirements from patients.
  • Formulation of an evidence-based strategy.

Main Results:

  • Men often endure urinary incontinence in secret for extended periods.
  • Significant unmet needs for accessible and tailored information were identified.
  • A strategy was developed based on patient-reported needs.

Conclusions:

  • Postoperative urinary incontinence in men requires better psychosocial support and targeted information.
  • Addressing patient-reported barriers to seeking help is crucial.
  • The developed strategy aims to improve the management and experience of urinary incontinence after prostate surgery.
