Read article A study to see how men’s relationships with their wives or partners influences their diet after having a diagnosis of prostate cancer
This is a study to learn more about how to help men improve their diet after a prostate cancer diagnosis, and how their relationships with their wives or partners influence what they eat.
After being diagnosed with prostate cancer, men may make changes to their diet and lifestyle. But it can be difficult to make these changes.
The aim of this study is to learn more about how best to support men with healthy eating. The study team will ask men and their wives or female partners about what and how they eat.
Recruitment
Phase
Who can enter
You may be able to enter this study if you
- Have been diagnosed with prostate cancer that was contained within the prostate gland (localised prostate cancer) in the last 5 years
- Live with your wife or female partner
Trial design
The researchers aim to speak to about 15 men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and to their wives or partners.
If you agree to take part, the study team will ask you to keep a diary for a week. You write down what you eat as well as information about the reasons behind your food choices.
You then have an interview with a member of the study team. This takes place either in your home or at the Institute for Health and Wellbeing in Leeds. It will be arranged at a time that is convenient for you.
You can choose to have your interview together with your wife or partner. Or you can choose to be interviewed separately. In the interview, the researcher will ask questions such as
- What you understand about healthy eating and the role of diet in prostate cancer
- Whether having prostate cancer has affected your diet
- How much your partner influences what you eat
The researcher will make an audio recording of the interview. All the information you give will be confidential. It will not be possible to identify you in any results.
Hospital visits
The interview lasts between an hour and an hour and a half.
Side effects
There are no side effects associated with this trial. There may be some issues to do with food or your relationship that you would not want to discuss. It is important to think about this before agreeing to take part.
