%X Introduction.  Prostate carcinoma ranges among the most common cancers in German men. One of its standard treatments is radical prostatectomy (RP). Postoperative comorbidities of RP include erectile dysfunctions, which may impact patients' relationship quality. Little is known, to date, about patients' and their partners' psychosocial resources that might reduce the risk of damage to relationship outcomes. Such resources include spousal social support interactions.<p />
