This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a special 8-week learning program designed for couples — specifically prostate cancer patients and their spouses — to help manage the physical and emotional challenges of cancer together. The program teaches both partners strategies to support each other, reduce symptoms, and build resilience. Researchers want to see if this couples-based approach works better than regular care alone.
Prostate cancer affects not just the patient, but their whole family. This study exists because researchers believe that when patients and spouses learn and cope together, they may have better emotional well-being and physical outcomes than if they handle the diagnosis separately.

You and your spouse will start by completing questionnaires about your symptoms, mood, and well-being. Then you'll be randomly assigned to either receive standard care only, or standard care plus the 8-week learning program. If you're in the program group, you'll participate together in structured sessions over 8 weeks. You'll complete follow-up questionnaires at 10 weeks and 16 weeks to measure how the program helped.
