"One stroke, with twenty-two people": exploring prostate cancer survivors' participation in dragon boating.

This study qualitatively explores prostate cancer survivors' experience in joining a dragon boating team and its possible impact on their wellbeing. Qualitative data analysis. Eleven prostate cancer survivors from a dragon boat team. Semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis. The findings support physical benefits of dragon boating, however, the positive impact on the men's psychosocial wellbeing was more salient. Participation in dragon boating was important for establishing a social support system and positively reframing their cancer experience. Dragon boating is a novel health promotion strategy for men with PC. Seeking to replicate the positive characteristics of dragon boating in the design of future physical activity interventions should be explored.
