“Excited to share that thanks to a competitive Movember and Prostate Cancer UK Health Equity award, we have started putting our new interdisciplinary research project into action.
PROFOUND-Prostate will aim to understand how prostate cancer survivors from resource-challenged areas across Scotland perceive, experience and prioritise changes in their functional ability, and what triggers people to make decisions to seek help (or not) in relation to these changes.
A great opportunity to:
- Test a model of integrated continuing self-reporting (patient-reported outcome measures), own-data visualisation (graphs), and interview-enabled reflection (story completion) to empower this population to self-monitor and take action to look after their health.
- Explore the model’s potential for future uptake by tertiary sector patient support services.
- Plus, the longitudinal dataset will allow us to explore demographic, clinical and socioeconomic factors that might put this population at greater risk of reduced functional ability.
Excited to do our bit to help address equity gaps in prostate cancer care.
Watch this space for key updates.
Ethical and R&D approvals.
Grateful for the support of Prostate Scotland and the project’s PPIE Advisory group.
Together with a brilliant project team:
Ashleigh Ward, Hilary Glen, Xianghua Ding, Robin Young, Daniel Kelly OBE, Rebecca Marshall-McKenna, Wei Sun.”
