Synopsis

Appropriate for a range of health practitioners, including nurses, doctors, social workers, physiotherapists and psychologists, this guide provides expert information and materials to construct a tailored, low-intensity psychological intervention centred on masculine values to help men manage the challenges of prostate cancer. Flexible components outline guidelines for discussions with men and their partners and facilitate regular use of distress monitoring and survivorship care plans. The Guide uses the popular Facing the Tiger self-help patient book as its accompanying resource. For the minority of patients who exhibit major clinical levels of distress under treatment, the Guide explains how to detect this and when to refer them to specialised treatment. It is used within multidisciplinary treatment centres that provide medical, nursing and allied support services to prostate cancer patients.

The Guide includes:

• flexible session structure guidelines
• patient self-management resource Facing the Tiger as an Appendix
• downloadable patient worksheets
• a downloadable fill-in PDF patient survivorship care plan
• download links to free external forms/tests
• external resource list covering issues such as sex, urinary problems, exercise and complementary medicine.
