简要总结
This study is testing a walking program called Walk with Ease by the Arthritis Foundation with men undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. The researchers are interested in how easy or difficult it is for these men to participate in this program and whether or not is is helpful to them during their care.
详细描述
Purpose: This pilot study evaluates the feasibility of implementing a moderate-intensity physical activity (PA) program in a sample of men age 65 or older with a prostate cancer diagnosis undergoing various forms of treatment or active surveillance.
Participants: Men, 65 and older, with a prostate cancer diagnosis.
Procedures (methods): This study will enroll subjects in a 6 week walking program called Walk with Ease (WWE) and see if walking can be sustained for up to three months. In addition, the study will perform a Geriatric Assessment and gather preliminary data on self-reported quality of life outcomes and self-reported physical activity as captured in a daily walking log.

结局指标
主要结局
To measure the feasibility of implementing the WWE intervention among men age >65 with a prostate cancer diagnosis
时间窗: 24 months
Exploring the evaluate the feasibility of implementing the WWE intervention among men age \>65 with a prostate cancer diagnosis. The study will measure those who were able to complete the program and increased their self-reported level of walking. The study will also measure the percent of patients who reach the goal of walking 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week in order to determine feasibility.
次要结局
- Measure the rate of completion for study surveys(24 months)
