Development of a psychoeducational intervention for men with prostate cancer.

This study aimed to develop and implement a nurse-led psychoeducational group program for men receiving radiotherapy for prostate cancer. These groups are part of a larger multidisciplinary care intervention, which is designed to enhance patient involvement in care. The manual for the groups was developed using a literature review and expert opinion from a multidisciplinary team consisting of radiation oncologists, urology nurses, behavioral scientists, psychologists, radiation therapists, and consumers.
