| description | <strong>Background:</strong> prostate cancer is considered a worldwide health problem that affects elderly and black men more frequently. <br /><strong>Objective:</strong> to develop a nursing intervention strategy to improve the health care of patients diagnosed with prostatic and penile neoplasms at the Morete-Puyo Health Center in Ecuador. <br /><strong>Methods:</strong> a descriptive, cross-sectional, prospective study was carried out in the period May-October 2021. 12 patients with prostate cancer with a diagnosis of prostatic and penile neoplasms were studied at the Morete-Puyo Health Center. The variables analyzed were: age distribution of patients with prostatic and penile neoplasia; according to the cause of the disease; relationship between the number of home visits and the stage of the neoplastic disease. Summary measures for absolute and relative frequencies were used. Data were presented in contingency tables. <br /><strong>Results:</strong> the group with the highest occurrence was that of 63-73 years with 7 patients (58.33 %); advanced age associated with smoking was the main cause present in 9 patients (75 %). Of the 12 patients, 5 were in stage IV cancer, so it was necessary to make 24 home visits. Home care was the priority strategic action to provide ongoing care. <br /><strong>Conclusions:</strong> the highest occurrence of cases with prostate cancer occurred in older adults, advanced age associated with smoking was the main cause of the disease, the advanced stage was directly proportional to the number of home visits and strategic actions were proposed. aimed at continuous care to improve nursing care for patients with oncological conditions. |
