39 Background: The mission of the Prostate Cancer Supportive Care (PCSC) Program at the Vancouver Prostate Centre (VPC) is to provide clinical care focused on the needs of prostate cancer patients and partners. It is comprised of six modules that are administered by medical professionals in urology, radiation oncology, sexual health nurses, registered dieticians, certified exercise physiologist, male pelvic floor physiotherapists, and couples’ counselling. Incorporation of research into daily care provides evidence for these practices, identifies areas for improvement, and tests new approaches. In order to evaluate the interface between the clinical and research programs, we reviewed the metrics of our PCSC program. Methods: Research studies were grouped by type. Screening and enrollment logs were reviewed to tally the total number of patients approached versus enrolled. Reasons for non-participation based on data in our enrollment logs were categorized. Results: Between Feb 2015 and Mar 2019, PCSC Program participated in 22 research studies: 9 therapeutic or lifestyle intervention studies (3 RCTs), 3 observational studies, 2 registries, 1 survey, 1 genetic study, 1 databank , 2 collaborative programmatic studies, 3 “permission to contact” studies (referral to the study team only). 8 of the 22 studies included recruitment of dyads (both patient and their partner or caregiver). Of 1080 consenting patients, 760 (70.4%) enrolled in 1 study, 210 (19.4%) in 2 studies, and 110 (10.2%) in > 3 studies. 583 patients did not consent due to lack of interest (43.7%), not available (21.1%), time constraints (10.3%), travel distance (6.7%). Conclusions: Our data show that a subspecialty supportive care program can provide a rich environment in which to conduct clinical research. We believe that the integration of the research program and personnel into the clinical setting is key to our success. Current on-going studies are evaluating the impact of and patient satisfaction with all PCSC modules.

Background. Although nutrition education for the prevention and management of hypertension is the responsibility of registered dieticians and nutritionist, nurses also play this role particularly because there are few registered dieticians. This study was conducted to assess final-year nursing students’ level of knowledge regarding the nutritional prevention and management of hypertension. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess their knowledge regarding the dietary management of hypertension. A total of 220 students completed a 21-item nutritional prevention and management of hypertension knowledge test. Results. Students’ knowledge about potential modifiable risk factors of hypertension such as excessive salt and alcohol intake was good. Less than half (44.5%) indicated that they will recommend an increased intake of potassium food sources to hypertensive patients. However, 70.5% incorrectly indicated that they will advise hypertensive patients to always read nutritional information on food items in order to avoid excessive intake of potassium in their diet. Conclusion. The results of this study indicate that there are some deficits in nursing students’ nutritional knowledge for managing hypertension. The findings suggest an urgent need to revise the nursing training curriculum in order to include practical information that can be applied by nursing students, after graduation.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel contagion that has infected over 113 million people worldwide. It is responsible for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which has cost the lives of 2.5 million people. Ergo, the global scientific community has been scrambling to repurpose or develop therapeutics to treat COVID-19. Dietary supplements and nutraceuticals are among those under consideration due to the link between nutritional status and patient outcomes. Overall, poor vitamin D status seems to be associated with an increased risk of COVID-19. Severely ill COVID-19 patients appear to be deficient or have suboptimal levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, a measure of vitamin D status. Consequently, vitamin D is now the subject of several prophylactic and therapeutic clinical trials. In this review, the general status of nutraceuticals and dietary supplements amid the pandemic is appraised, with a particular focus on vitamin D. Consumers should be aware of misinformation and unsubstantiated promises for products marketed for COVID-19 protection. However, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle will likely maintain health including optimum immune function that may affect patient outcomes. Those who are deficient in key nutrients such as vitamin D should consider lifestyle changes and potentially supplementation in consultation with their physician and/or registered dieticians.
