Interventions

  • eMindExCare — BEHAVIORAL
    An integrated mindfulness and exercise eHealth intervention for prostate cancer patients undergoing active treatment. The programme includes mindfulness practice, moderate-intensity aerobic activity such as stationary cycling or walking, resistance-band exercises, home practice, intervention videos, and adherence/safety monitoring through exercise logs and weekly reminders.
  • Enhanced Health Education — BEHAVIORAL
    A Zoom-delivered attention-control programme including cancer self-management education, basic breath-awareness or relaxation, and light non-progressive physical activity guidance such as posture, gentle stretching, walking tips, and sit-to-stand activities.

Study Details

This feasibility randomized controlled trial will assess the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary effects of an integrated mindfulness and exercise eHealth intervention, eMindExCare, among prostate cancer patients undergoing active treatment in Hong Kong. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either an 8-week eMindExCare intervention or an enhanced health education attention-control programme. eMindExCare integrates culturally adapted Cantonese mindfulness practices with home-based aerobic and resistance exercise delivered through Zoom, supported by home practice, exercise logs, and weekly reminders. The enhanced health education control programme will match the intervention group in contact time and engagement but will not include progressive aerobic training, resistance-band prescription, stationary bike provision, or a structured mindfulness curriculum. Feasibility and acceptability outcomes will include eligibility, consent, randomization, attendance, retention, questionnaire completion, missing data, and adverse events. Preliminary outcomes will include sleep quality, fatigue, pain, physical activity, mindfulness, motivation for exercise, and quality of life assessed at baseline, immediately post-intervention at week 8, and 3 months post-intervention.

  • Experimental: eMindExCare
    Participants will receive the 8-week eMindExCare intervention delivered via Zoom. The intervention integrates culturally adapted Cantonese mindfulness practices with home-based aerobic and resistance exercise. Sessions will be delivered once weekly for 8 consecutive weeks, with home practice at least three times per week. Participants will receive a stationary bike, resistance band, mindfulness mat and zafu set, intervention videos, exercise logs, and WhatsApp or WeChat reminders.
  • Active Comparator: Enhanced Health Education
    Participants will receive an 8-week enhanced health education attention-control programme delivered via Zoom. The programme will match the intervention group in contact time and engagement and will include cancer self-management education, basic breath-awareness or relaxation, and light non-progressive physical activity guidance. Participants will be encouraged to complete light relaxation or activity three times weekly and record this in a logbook. The programme will not include progressive aerobic training, resistance-band prescription, stationary bike provision, or a structured mindfulness curriculum.
