Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The participants will receive an educational intervention that consists of 4 sessions in which it will be explained what prostate cancer consists of and the different types of treatments; in the second session we will talk about urinary and sexual symptoms and how to manage them; In the third session, sexual and cognitive symptoms will be discussed, and in the fourth, the importance of social support will be explained.

Training mode: It will be carried out through individual face-to-face sessions in which a flip-chart presentations and short videos will be used: what radiotherapy consists of; how to perform Keguel exercises and videos related to the experience of men during radiotherapy treatment. Each one in one session.

Frequency and duration of program administration: each session will last between 30 and 40 minutes each week.

The strategy used to comply with the intervention will be through the signature of the participant at the end of the intervention.

Comparator / control treatment
- The usual care provided in the institution that consists of follow-up by the nurse through weekly controls in which general recommendations are provided on the management of bladder catheter in case of patients in postoperative prostatectomy, diet, complications, care during and after the procedures (surgery and radiotherapy), medication management.

Statistical methods / analysis
The collected data will initially be typed in Excel, and later exported to the SPSS statistics version 22 program. Each group (experimental and control) will be performed descriptive statistics on variables with measures of central tendency and dispersion such as mean, standard deviation, interquartile ranges. The comparison of the groups (experiment and control) will be carried out with parametric tests, as long as they satisfy the criteria of homoscedasticity and normality. If this is not the case, non-parametric tests will be used.

Summary
Brief summary
Prostate cancer (PC) is the most prevalent neoplasm in men in the world and although diagnostic and early detection programs have allowed to reduce mortality in this population. Symptoms related to CP and its treatment are manifested in the physical and psychological dimensions. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the effectiveness of the Prostactive intervention for the self-management of symptoms in functional performance in people with prostate cancer in treatment. The hypotheses proposed are: 1. The Prostactive nursing intervention for self-management of symptoms improves functional performance in people with prostate cancer in treatment. 2. Interventions based on self-efficacy improve self-management of symptoms in people with prostate cancer.
