Hi everyone,

I am working with researchers at the University of Edinburgh conducting a study into the psychological impact prostate cancer can have on people’s psychological wellbeing. We are asking any men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer to take part in our short online survey which can be accessed by clicking the link below. The team at Prostate Cancer UK have kindly allowed us to share our study on the community here.

The survey contains a number of questions which aim to measure psychological concepts such as anxiety, stress and symptoms related to prostate cancer such as physical pain. More information on the study is available on the information sheet included.

Taking part in this study involves answering a series of short questions/ statements, and should take around 10-15 minutes. Participation is voluntary, however, the more men across the UK who participate the better understanding will be provided on how prostate cancer can impact different individuals, and how important it may be for tailored support and care systems to be in place to ensure that those diagnosed with prostate cancer are offered appropriate psychological support, alongside any chosen cancer treatments. To participate, please click on the link below.

Please feel free to share the link to the study.

Thanks for your participation!

Well, John has filled out the questionnaire for you.

Not sure how helpful it will be because some of it didn't seem relevant to his situation so he had trouble identifying

Started it Gareth, but gave up after a few minutes. Who thought up those questions?

Like John the Print said, more like psychoanalysis, which I suppose it is!

Cheers, John

Done just answered without trying to work out why the question. Concern is over nigh on 14 years some answers would have been different so finished up giving a balance over that time.

I just completed it. I’m new, diagnosed May. RALP June. i thought the questions were far too weighted towards finding a pre defined conclusion. i.e. Men are bad with emotions. Assumes way too much and was a bit loaded for my liking.
