The present paper explored the internal consistency reliability and construct validity of the English translation of the Katz-Francis Scale of Attitude toward Judaism among 101 Australian Jews. On the basis of these data, this instrument is commended for application in further research.

Of those that commence therapy, almost 75% will discontinue treatment within 18 months.

Given the reported success and benefits of post-prostatectomy treatments for erectile dysfunction (PTED), the question remains as to why adoption and compliance rates amongst prostate cancer survivors are not higher. This study aimed to identify and conceptualize those factors influencing prostate cancer survivors to either adopt and/or comply with PTED regimes.
Seventeen men aged 40 to 60 years who had undergone radical prostatectomies were recruited from patient lists of two Sydney-based physicians. Each participated in a semi-structured interview. Following an interpretative phenomenological analysis of their accounts, four themes emerged: experiences in trialling therapies for erectile dysfunction, partner influence, sexual dynamic, and the nature and scope of medical inquiry and advice.
Consolidating the similarities in participant experiences led to the creation of model of participant PTED behaviour. Consistent with other studies, participants reported positive correlations between treatment efficacy, ease of use (both within and outside sexual contexts) and PTED compliance. The strength and nature of relationships with their partners was found to influence treatment adherence, as did access to physicians specialising in male sexual dysfunction.
Despite numerous biopsychosocial factors being reported as influencing treatment adoption and compliance, physicians were found to apply a biomedical model of treatment with behavioural, social and psychological factors being generally overlooked or ignored.
The results of this study provide a useful foundation for future research, particularly in developing interventions that will lead to more efficacious treatment outcomes and higher levels of treatment adherence.
