abstract = {Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in
men worldwide and genetic factors and family history
significantly increase the risk of PCa. Men at increased
risk for PCa often experience higher PCa-specific anxiety
and distress. Comprehensive prevention strategies for men
with familial or genetic PCa predisposition are lacking.
Consequently, the psychological impact, facilitators and
barriers for risk-adapted PCa prevention lack comprehensive
study. The novel prospective registry and prevention clinic
'ProFam-Risk' (prevention clinic for familial PCa risk) at
the University Hospital Düsseldorf offers personalised risk
assessment and risk-adapted prevention recommendations for
men with familial or genetic PCa predisposition. As part of
this research project, this study ('ProFam-Psych' -
risk-adapted prevention clinic for familial and genetic
prostate cancer: psychosocial effects; funded by German
Cancer Aid) aims to evaluate the longitudinal psychosocial
trajectories associated with this novel prevention clinic.In
a longitudinal observational mixed-methods design,
psychosocial outcomes will be assessed in participants of
the prevention clinic (case group, CAG) and compared with
urology patients without increased risk for PCa (control
group, COG). Psychosocial outcomes will be collected at four
time points in the CAG (T0: baseline; T1: after first visit;
T2: after risk stratification consultation; T3: follow-up 6
months after T2) and at two time points in the COG (T0:
baseline during inpatient stay; T1: post-inpatient stay).
Recruitment started in 2023, and the recruitment target is
n=225 participants (CAG) and n=118 participants (COG).
Primary endpoint is the longitudinal course of PCa-specific
anxiety (Memorial Anxiety Questionnaire for Prostate Cancer)
in the CAG. Secondary endpoints include the comparison of T0
and T1 outcomes between the CAG and COG and the assessment
of changes in perceived PCa risk and perceived personal
control in the CAG. To assess facilitators and barriers to
participation in the risk-adapted PCa prevention clinic, a
minimum of n=12 semi-structured qualitative interviews will
be conducted, with recruitment continuing until data
saturation is reached. Qualitative data will be analysed
using qualitative content analysis.Ethics approval from the
Medical Faculty of the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf
was obtained (2023-2551). Results of the main objective and
each of the secondary endpoints will be submitted for
publication in a peer-reviewed journal.DRKS.de,
DRKS00032350. Prospectively registered with the German
Clinical Trials Register (DRKS) on 14 September 2023.},
