Implementation of Evidence Based Programs

Building on previous research that shows the benefits of exercise, this study aims to find out how best to implement exercise in real-world settings. The study will assess the feasibility and acceptability of an embedding an automated referral tool and an exercise professional into standard cancer care impacts clinician referral and patient uptake of exercise programming. The study will assess how effective the exercise program is at improving patients' physical health, quality of life, symptom management, and overall wellbeing during different stages of their cancer journey (e.g., before treatment, on treatment, after treatment).

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness of SHAReClinic, a national, virtual Sexual Health and Rehabilitation eClinic designed to support prostate cancer patients and their partners. Specifically, this study aims to assess SHAReClinic's impact on improving sexual function, satisfaction, and relational intimacy after treatment. The primary objective is to evaluate SHAReClinic's effectiveness across participating sites and determine its role in supporting long-term sexual health and well-being. As part of usual care, newly enrolled SHAReClinic patients will receive guided education modules and access to sexual health counselling at key recovery milestones. SHAReClinic seeks to expand access to sexual health care for prostate cancer patients across Canada by providing evidence-based, virtual sexual rehabilitation. Findings from this study will inform best practices in survivorship care and contribute to the development of a national standard for oncology sexual health interventions.
