简要总结
Prostate cancer is a significant concern for Latiné men, with over 17,000 new cases annually. Decision-making for treatment is complex, especially due to barriers like low health literacy and cultural factors. Research on survivorship and post-treatment issues like erectile dysfunction is lacking. To improve care, a study will engage 288 participants across various medical facilities, including 100 at Cleveland Clinic. Thirty subjects will participate in focus groups representing Spanish-speaking Latiné, bilingual Latiné, and English-speaking non-Latiné individuals to understand their perspectives and enhance communication. This aims to develop tailored resources, like Spanish-language educational videos, addressing language and cultural needs for informed decision-making.
详细描述
Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer among Latiné men, with over 17,000 new cases yearly. While most men live with the disease rather than die from it, ensuring quality of life is crucial in treatment decisions. Latiné men face unique decision-making challenges due to low health literacy, barriers to healthcare access, and cultural differences in treatment understanding and communication. Decision aids that consider patient values and cultural nuances like familismo are essential for effective shared decision-making.
Despite the significance of racial and ethnic disparities in prostate cancer outcomes, research has been limited, especially among Latiné populations. The CEASAR study highlighted the need for more inclusive research, showing no significant outcome differences across racial groups but underrepresenting Latiné men. The Urology Care Foundation has provided Spanish-language resources, yet there's a gap in materials discussing treatment choices in the context of sexual, bowel and urinary health post-treatment.
This gap underlines the necessity for research focused on the Latiné community's perspectives on prostate cancer survivorship, particularly concerning erectile dysfunction, bowel function and urinary function. This study aims to fill this void through focus groups to better understand Latiné men's views and enhance patient education and shared decision-making. A Spanish-language educational video informed by these insights will address the critical need for culturally and linguistically appropriate resources, bridging the information gap for Spanish-speaking survivors

研究组 & 干预措施
Prostate cancer treatment outcomes
The study population will be divided into three cohorts:
- Spanish-speaking preferred Latiné,
- English-speaking preferred Latiné,
- English-speaking non-Latiné patients.
Domain assessments between groups will be made using ANOVA with pairwise comparisons.
干预措施: Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite and Decision Regret Scale (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Sexual health-related QoL as measured using the validated EPIC-26 questionnaire
时间窗: During group interview (minimum of three 90-minute sessions) post radical prostatectomy
The EPIC questionnaire evaluates sexual health-related quality of life domains specific to prostate cancer patients: It is a 13-question survey, where questions 8-12 are focused on the sexual health. Responses are given on a Likert scale, ranging from "very poor" to "very good" or "no problem" to "big problem," depending on the question.One-way ANOVA test is used for comparison of EPIC domains between the three cohorts.
Urinary health-related QoL as measured using the validated EPIC-26 questionnaire
时间窗: During group interview (minimum of three 90-minute sessions) post radical prostatectomy
The EPIC questionnaire evaluates urinary health-related quality of life domains specific to prostate cancer patients: It is a 13-question survey, where 1-5 are focused on the urinary health. Responses are given on a Likert scale, ranging from "very poor" to "very good" or "no problem" to "big problem," depending on the question.One-way ANOVA test is used for comparison of EPIC domains between the three cohorts.
QoL as measured using the combined score of EPIC-26 questionnaire
时间窗: During group interview (minimum of three 90-minute sessions) post radical prostatectomy
The EPIC questionnaire evaluates health-related quality of life domains specific to prostate cancer patients: It is a 13-question survey. Responses are given on a Likert scale, ranging from "very poor" to "very good" or "no problem" to "big problem," depending on the question.One-way ANOVA test is used for comparison of EPIC domains between the three cohorts.
Bowel health-related QoL as measured using the validated EPIC-26 questionnaire
时间窗: During group interview (minimum of three 90-minute sessions) post radical prostatectomy
The EPIC questionnaire evaluates bowel health-related quality of life domains specific to prostate cancer patients: It is a 13-question survey, where questions 6-7 are focused on the bowel health. Responses are given on a Likert scale, ranging from "very poor" to "very good" or "no problem" to "big problem," depending on the question.One-way ANOVA test is used for comparison of EPIC domains between the three cohorts.
Hormonal health-related QoL as measured using the validated EPIC-26 questionnaire
时间窗: During group interview (minimum of three 90-minute sessions) post radical prostatectomy
The EPIC questionnaire evaluates hormonal health-related quality of life domains specific to prostate cancer patients: It is a 13-question survey, where question 13 is focused on the hormonal health. Responses are given on a Likert scale, ranging from "very poor" to "very good" or "no problem" to "big problem," depending on the question.One-way ANOVA test is used for comparison of EPIC domains between the three cohorts.
