GET FIT Together: Testing a Socially Enhanced Exercise Program in Older Men With Prostate Cancer

Sponsor: OHSU Knight Cancer Institute

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This clinical trial tests the impact of different levels of social support on the benefits of exercise in older men with prostate cancer. Prostate cancer survivors (PCS) experience fatigue, weakness, muscle loss, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and pain that can contribute to worsening function and increased levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms. Men rarely access psychosocial support services for their mental health and may conceal their feelings from their spouse and family leading to feelings of isolation and cancer loneliness that are in turn linked to poor health outcomes, including fatigue, pain, sleep problems, anxiety and depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation and all-cause mortality. This trial compares a socially-enhanced supervised group exercise program to a supervised group exercise program with no social enhancement, and an unsupervised home-based program on cancer loneliness, social isolation, mental and physical health in older PCS. A socially-enhanced supervised group exercise program may reduce feelings of cancer loneliness in PCS.
