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