ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Studies indicate that social constraints (barriers to emotional expression) may be a risk factor for psychological morbidity. We aimed to investigate the association between prostate cancer-related social constraints and psychological well-being following prostate cancer surgery.METHODS:
In a group of 3478 partnered patients, participating in the Laparoscopic Prostatectomy Robot Open trial, a prospective multicenter comparative study of robot-assisted laparoscopic and retropubic radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer, we used log-binomial regression analysis to investigate the links between prostate cancer-related social constraints at 3 months after surgery and psychological well-being at 12 and 24 months.RESULTS:
A total of 1086 and 1093 men reported low well-being at 12 and 24 months, respectively. Prostate cancer-related social constraints by partner predicted low psychological well-being at 12 months (adjusted RR 1.4; 95% CI, 1.1-1.9) and by others (adjusted RR 1.9; 95% CI, 1.1-3.5). Intrusive thoughts mediated the association.CONCLUSIONS:
Negative responses from the social environment, especially from partner to talking about the prostate cancer experience affected patients' psychological well-being 2 years after radical prostatectomy. Results emphasize the importance of helping patients mobilize psychosocial resources within their social network, especially among those with a lack of quality psychosocial support.Palavras-chave
