| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Therefore, we conducted a randomized controlled study to examine whether 3 months of telenursing could reduce complications in prostate cancer patients.The participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (30 patients) or a control group (33 patients). Using a tablet computer, the participants were asked to provide information on various items, including urinary frequency, number of incontinence pads used, and presence of sexual desire and erections. Both the participants and researchers monitored automatically-graphed time-dependent changes in symptoms, and the researchers could propose concrete measures to reduce patients’ complications. The control group received ordinary care. The intervention period for both groups was 3 months. The results showed that urinary function, urinary bother, and sexual bother improved in the intervention group.Furthermore, significant improvements were seen in physical, emotional, and functional well-being improved on the FACT-G.
