Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Patient Education
  • Health Psychology

Background:

  • Information empowers cancer patients, fostering control and reducing anxiety.
  • Prostate radiation therapy (RT) requires comprehensive patient understanding.
  • Interprofessional education can enhance patient coping mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an interprofessional group education session for prostate cancer patients undergoing RT.
  • To assess the usefulness and acceptability of the education session.
  • To measure changes in informational distress levels post-intervention.

Main Methods:

  • A prostate radiation therapy (RT) education session was designed and delivered by an interprofessional team.
  • Participants completed the validated Distress Thermometer (DT) pre- and post-session.
  • An acceptability survey evaluated the session's format, structure, and usefulness.

Main Results:

  • The group education session was deemed valuable and useful by participants, improving understanding of RT, side effects, and available resources.
  • All participants recommended the session.
  • A significant reduction in informational distress levels was observed (p=0.04).

Conclusions:

  • Interprofessional group education effectively decreases anxiety and stress for prostate cancer patients undergoing RT.
  • The format enhances patient understanding and preparedness for treatment.
  • Future development for other cancer types is recommended.
