This variable is measured using the General and Perceived Self-Efficacy scale. The instrument consists of 10 items with Likert type scale responses ranging from one to five, with a minimum score of 10 and maximum score of 50 points. Each item refers to the achievement of goals and indicates a stable internal attribution of success, the higher the score, the greater the perception of self-efficacy.;Outcome found: among the 68 patients that composed the sample, 34 of whom were CG And 34 of the IM, no significant differences were identified between the two Post-test, at the level of the general and perceived self-efficacy variable. | — |

| Expected outcome: "Average difference in levels of psychological morbidity (anxiety and depression), satisfaction with the guidelines received and knowledge of patients exposed to the educational program, in relation to patients who received the routine guidelines of the services." To assess anxiety and depression, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scale was used. The HADS scale contains 14 multiple-choice questions. It is composed of two sub scales, for anxiety and depression, with seven items each. Each question has four response options with values ??ranging from zero to three. The overall score in each sub-scale ranges from zero to 21, and the greater the value, the greater the emotional distress. The authors of this instrument suggest value eight as cutoff point, considering the lower values ??as absence of anxiety and depression. To evaluate the variable Satisfaction with guidelines for home care, an item with a variation of 1 to 5 was adopted, in which 1 represents "extremely unsatisfied", 2 "dissatisfied", 3 "not sure", 4 "satisfied" and 4 5 "totally satisfied". To measure the knowledge variable, a structured questionnaire containing 23 questions was elaborated with "right", "wrong", "do not know" answers. The phrases correspond to the guidelines contained in the booklet "Guidelines for home care: Radical surgery of the prostate" and allow to evaluate the knowledge that patients have about the care in the postoperative period of radical prostatectomy (care with the surgical cut and SVD; Urinary incontinence, exercises for pelvic musculature, physical exercise, feeding and fluid intake, bowel movements, signs of complication and problems with erection). For each correct answer a point was assigned, totaling a maximum of 23 points. For wrong answers or do not know, there was no punctuation.;Outcome found: among the 68 patients that comprised the sample, 34 individuals from CG and 34 from IG, significant differences between the two groups were i | — |
