Abstract

Objective: To present an overview of the issues related to the sexual well-being of people affected by prostate cancer and their partners, and propose ways to manage and address these by oncology nurses and the wider multi-disciplinary team. Data Sources: Electronic databases such as PubMed and Cinahl were used to retrieve relevant literature published between 2010 and 2020. Conclusion: Sexual well-being in patients with prostate cancer and their partners is multifaceted, comprising physical, emotional, social, and cultural aspects. Implications for Nursing Practice: A combination of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions, together with enhanced communication, can be successful in providing culturally competent, person-centered care by oncology nurses and the wider multi-disciplinary team.
