- Prostate cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer in men [1], and men can experience profound decrements in quality of life, debilitating and challenging symptoms with psychosocial concerns.
- Men can experience a range of unmet supportive care needs [2] mainly related to intimacy, physical, psychological, and informational needs, [3-4] which may exacerbate their own individual demands to perform self-management.
Men continue to articulate a lack of self-management support in contemporary healthcare [2, 5-8].
- Two systematic reviews [9-10] classified self-management in prostate cancer survivors.
