We examined multiple aspects of psychosocial adjustment in a sample of prostate cancer patients and their partners beginning at presurgery and proceeding across the first postsurgical year. Both patients and their partners experienced significant changes to multiple areas of psychosocial adjustment following radical prostatectomy. Relative impairments in quality of life were transient for the most part, and baseline levels of functioning were resumed by at least 1 year following surgery. The only area of enduring dysfunction was with regards to patient sexual and urinary functioning. We also found that patients and their partners endorsed moderate levels of cancer-related benefits measured 1 year following the patient's surgery. Stress symptoms, negative affect, and coping were related to benefit-finding. These data have implications for adjustment following radical prostatectomy specifically, and attest to the importance of incorporating partner evaluations into psychosocial oncology research. The current findings also contribute to a growing empirical literature and theory regarding the potential for stressful and ostensibly negative events to be associated with positive consequences.
