    Abstract

    Objective:
    To present an overview of the issues related to the sexual well-being of people affected by PCa and their partners and propose ways to manage and address these by oncology nurses and the wider multi-disciplinary team.

    Data Sources:
    Electronic databases such as PubMed and Cinahl were used to retrieve relevant literature published between 2010-2020.

    Conclusion:

    Sexual well-being in patients with PCa and their partners is multifaceted, comprising physical, emotional, social and cultural aspects.

    Implications for Nursing Practice:
    A combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions together with enhanced communication can be successful in providing culturally competent, person-centered care by oncology nurses and the wider multi-disciplinary team.
