- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>For the VERS+-group we expect an improved quality of life as measured with the<br /><br>SF-12, general health domain (improvement of ±5 points). </p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>- For the VERS+-group an improved Patient Activation Measure (PAM) score is<br /><br>expected. Because the use of the PAM is still scarce in prostate cancer<br /><br>patients, it is difficult to quantify the expected score increase.<br /><br>- An increase in the nutrient levels measured in the blood of participants in<br /><br>the two intervention groups after 3 weeks (t2) and 3 months (t3) of following a<br /><br>prostate cancer diet.<br /><br>- To survey the user behaviour of both participants and their partners when<br /><br>engaging in a prostate cancer diet.<br /><br>- To test the infrastructure of greenkeepers in the Westland, producing and<br /><br>delivering products for a specific, targeted patient population instead of the<br /><br>general public. </p><br>
