Abstract

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men worldwide and nowadays several treatments are available, each presenting risks and benefits. Therefore, deciding on the most appropriate treatment is particularly challenging for men at the time of the diagnosis. AIM. This review was aimed at identifying, analyzing, and synthesizing the qualitative evidence on the experience of deciding about treatment after a diagnosis of localized Prostate cancer (LPC) METHODS. A meta-synthesis according to the meta-aggregation approach of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) was used. The CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO databases were searched for qualitative studies published from January 1998 to August 2018 in English and Italian. Qualita- tive Assessment and Review Instrument of JBI was used.

RESULTS. From the identified sixteen studies two synthesized findings were derived that describe the decision-making as a complex process made in condition of emotional distress and influenced by internal and external factors; men evaluate differently the possible risks and benefits of cancer treatment, and after deciding they try to cope with their choice.

CONCLUSION. The review provides evidence that men with LPC's need to receive emotional support and comprehensive information about the treatment options to facilitate their decision. The healthcare team should refer men to a multidisciplinary cancer service to permit access to all the treatment options.

L'esperienza di decidere sul miglior trattamento per un cancro prostatico localizzato: una meta-sintesi

RIASSUNTO

BACKGROUND. Il cancro della prostata è la neoplasia piuÌ€ comune negli uomini in tutto il mondo. Attualmente sono disponibili diversi trattamenti che presentano rischi e benefici. Ne consegue che scegliere il trattamento piuÌ€ opportuno è particolarmente difficile per gli uomini con una recente diagnosi di cancro prostatico.

OBIETTIVI. La presente revisione ha lo scopo di identificare, analizzare e sintetizzare l'evidenza qualitativa sull'esperienza di decidere riguardo al trattamento dopo una diagnosi di cancro prosta- tico localizzato (LCP).
METODI. E' stata condotta una meta-sintesi secondo l'approccio della meta-aggregazione racco- mandato dal Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Sono stati ricercati studi qualitativi pubblicati da gennaio 1998 ad agosto 2018 in lingua inglese e italiana sulle banche dati CINAHL, MEDLINE e PsycINFO. E' stata utilizzato lo strumento per le revisioni e la valutazione qualitativa del JBI. RISULTATI. Sono stati identificati 16 studi dai quali sono stati derivati due risultati sintetici che descrivono la presa di decisione come un processo complesso che avviene in condizioni di distress emozionale e che è influenzato da fattori interni ed esterni; gli uomini valutano differentemente i possibili rischi e benefici dei trattamenti del cancro e dopo aver preso la decisione, cercano di adat- tarsi alla decisione presa.

CONCLUSIONI. La revisione evidenzia come gli uomini con un tumore prostatico localizzato hanno bisogno di ricevere supporto emozionale e informazioni complete sulle opzioni di tratta- mento al fine di facilitare la loro decisione. Il team sanitario dovrebbe indirizzare gli uomini con una diagnosi recente di cancro prostatico a centri multidisciplinari che permettano loro l'accesso a tutte le opzioni di trattamento.
