“…There is growing evidence that web-based interventions are likely to be popular with cancer survivors and may provide initiatives that promote PA (Finlay et al, 2020;Hong et al, 2015;Lee et al, 2019;van de Wiel et al, 2021). Web-based PA interventions offer the opportunity for individual behaviour change techniques in a convenient way with wide coverage, cost-effectiveness and accessibility.…”

“…The usual clinical treatment for patients includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy (Chambers et al, 2017). This multimodal treatment is accompanied by numerous side effects, including fatigue, decreased musculoskeletal and cardiopulmonary health, loss of sexual function, negative emotions, changes in body composition and lower quality of life (Tsou et al, 2022; Vernooij et al, 2019). Adverse cardiovascular, metabolic, cognitive and musculoskeletal effects of exposure to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) also lead to an increase in the number of accidental falls and fractures (Feng et al, 2018).…”

BackgroundThe incidence of prostate cancer increases with age. Physical activity can improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients. However, studies have observed lower levels of physical activity in men with prostate cancer, and most do not meet physical activity guidelines. Web‐based physical activity is a promising form of exercise that will play an important role in prostate cancer patients.AimsTo synthesise the experiences and preferences of prostate cancer patients for web‐based PA applications, thereby providing a basis for the construction of intervention programs tailored to the needs of patients.MethodsWe systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, CINAHL and three Chinese databases. This review includes qualitative empirical reports from the date of establishment of the respective databases until April 2023. Data extraction was performed by two independent reviewers and study quality was assessed.ResultsA total of nine studies were included. The experiences and preferences of prostate cancer patients with web‐based physical activity apps were synthesised into the following three analysis themes: (1) Pursuing individualised management strategies; (2) Perceiving and seeking social support and (3) Moving forwards in the struggle.ConclusionOur study found that men with prostate cancer experienced greater challenges in engaging in physical activity. Because of individual differences between patients, health care providers need to provide care that is tailored to each patient. Future studies should further explore the specific effects of web‐based PA applications in promoting the physical function of prostate cancer patients to increase their flexibility.Relevance to Clinical PracticeThis article synthesises prostate cancer patients' experiences with web‐based physical activity applications, highlighting their specific information needs. The results suggest several implications for the application of individualised management strategies, the perception and search for social support, and health‐ literacy. The results of this study will inform future research and program design that recognises the importance of patient‐centred efforts to better self‐manage physical function.Patient or Public ContributionIn the early stages of the study, objectives and subsequent findings were presented and discussed in a meeting with a reference group that represented patients, health professionals and the public.

Prostate cancer affects one in nine men, so understanding patients’ and their partners experiences is crucial for developing effective treatments. The purpose of this review was to synthesis and report the experiences and views of persons with prostate cancer and their partners. Methods: A qualitative evidence synthesis (QES) was conducted following the eMERGe reporting guideline. Six databases were searched for the relevant literature, and the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) tool was used for quality appraisal. Results: A total of 1372 papers were identified, and 36 met the inclusion criteria. Four themes emerged: quality of life, relationships and dynamics, treatment journey and survivorship and aftercare. Conclusions: Prostate cancer’s impact on patients and partners is significant, requiring comprehensive support, holistic care, tailored assistance, and research into therapies to minimize adverse effects and address emotional distress and relationship strain. Prostate cancer treatment causes physical changes, triggering feelings of loss and grief, and affects coping mechanisms. Drawing on emotional support and education is vital for boosting confidence and resilience, as many patients and partners face fears of recurrence and lifestyle changes, highlighting the need for tailored information and presurgery support.
