摘要：

This investigation evaluated the psychological needs of men (n = 28) with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer. A mixed qualitative-quantitalive approach was employed. The qualitative component consisted of focus groups and the quantitative component included administration of standardized measures assessing quality of life (QOL), anxiety, and mood. Participants reported substantial anxiety and other negative moods secondary to prostate cancer. Responses from the quantitative instruments suggest participants experience significant health problems specific to prostate cancer, while their general QOL is superior to other chronically ill medical populations. In contrast to the qualitative data, participants rated their mood as favorable on the quantitative measures. Data were used to guide development of a novel QOL intervention.
