Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Prostate cancer and its treatment can affect psychological, physical, and social quality of life. The most common side effects of the disease and treatment are bowel and urinary problems, sexual issues, and reduced quality of life. These issues can be alleviated with proper treatment and rehabilitation. Stress has been shown to be a significant factor in reduced quality of life. The overall aim of the research project is to evaluate and compare the effect of an internet-based yoga intervention for individuals diagnosed with prostate cancer with a control group receiving standard care regarding stress, urinary incontinence, blood pressure, and quality of life. Additional objectives include describing cost-effectiveness and the experience of participating in an internet-based yoga intervention at home. Scientific Questions Does internet-based yoga have any effect on stress, urinary incontinence, blood pressure, and quality of life compared to standard care? Is internet-based yoga a cost-effective intervention from the perspective of healthcare and society compared to standard care? How feasible is internet-based yoga, and how do participants perceive it? Does blood pressure change due to digital yoga, and does the effect persist after one year? Do participants in the intervention group continue practicing yoga after the intervention ends?
