Abstract

This study aims to examine changes in body image (BI) over time and factors related to BI among patients with prostate cancer who receive hormone therapy (HT). A cross-sectional design and longitudinal design were utilized. Patients with prostate cancer who received HT were recruited from the urology outpatient departments in two hospitals in Taiwan between August 2017 and December 2020. Cross-sectional data were collected from 177 patients who had started HT for prostate cancer. Longitudinal data were collected from 34 newly diagnosed patients before receiving HT and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after HT. The variables measured included hormonal symptoms and distress, self-efficacy, and BI. The results showed that BI dissatisfaction ranged from 6.1% to 17.2%. Hormonal symptoms and distress (e.g. lack of vitality) were correlated with BI dissatisfaction. Education on the side effects of HT and coping strategies can be provided to patients to prevent BI dissatisfaction.

接受激素治疗的前列腺癌患者的身体形象：采用横断面和纵向设计的观察性研究。

本研究旨在探讨接受激素治疗（HT）的前列腺癌患者的身体形象（BI）随时间的变化以及与BI相关的因素。研究采用横断面设计和纵向设计。研究人员于2017年8月至2020年12月期间从台湾两家医院的泌尿科门诊部招募了接受激素治疗的前列腺癌患者。横断面数据收集自177名开始接受前列腺癌热疗的患者。纵向数据收集自 34 名新确诊患者接受 HT 前以及 HT 后 1、3、6 和 12 个月的数据。测量的变量包括荷尔蒙症状和痛苦、自我效能感和 BI。结果显示，BI 不满意度从 6.1%到 17.2%不等。荷尔蒙症状和困扰（如缺乏活力）与 BI 不满意度相关。可向患者提供有关激素副作用和应对策略的教育，以防止出现 BI 不满意。
