Education to reduce anxiety and infection risk after prostate surgery
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special education program can help men who had prostate surgery and are going home with a urinary catheter feel less anxious and have better attitudes about preventing catheter infections. If you qualify, you would learn about how to care for your catheter to reduce your risk of infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a special infection control program can reduce infections in patients with urinary catheters in the hospital. It may help prevent catheter-related infections during your stay.
This study tests whether a nurse-led education program and direct referral to a physiotherapist before prostate removal surgery can help reduce urine leakage (incontinence) after the operation. It may help you recover better bladder control.
This trial tests if text message reminders help men recover urinary control after prostate surgery. If you are planning prostate surgery and can use a mobile phone for texts, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a smartphone app that teaches you about recovery before and after prostate cancer surgery helps prevent urinary leakage and erectile problems. You'd use the app to learn exercises and tips tailored to your recovery.
