Summary
This study tested a 10-week stress management group program for Spanish-speaking Hispanic men who had treatment for prostate cancer. The program taught relaxation, coping skills, and ways to handle stress. Researchers measured changes in quality of life, mood, and physical symptoms. The goal was to see if this culturally adapted approach could help men feel better overall.
