What this trial is about
This prospective longitudinal interventional study aims to evaluate the effect of structured peri-procedural nursing interventions on resilience and anxiety in men undergoing transrectal prostate biopsy. Participants will receive a standardized nursing intervention before and after the biopsy procedure. Resilience, anxiety, pain, lower urinary tract symptoms, and perceived nursing support will be assessed at predefined time points. Histopathological findings (benign or malignant) will be used for subgroup analyses. The study is conducted at the University Clinical Hospital Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
