Abstract

Background: Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of men toward prostate cancer screening.

Materials and method: A cross-sectional study was conducted over 15 months over three phases. Phase I recruited 15 participants through face-to-face interviews using a purposive sampling approach. Phase II involved the development of a questionnaire with the assistance of a panel of radiology and oncology experts. The questionnaire was validated for reliability using intraclass correlation, inter-rater reliability via Cohen's kappa, and internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha in Phase III. A convenience sampling method was used to select 60 study participants.

Result: The content validity and internal consistency reliability of the final tool were found to be reliable with a Cronbach's alpha score of 0.77 with more than 90% agreement.

Conclusion: This tool will aid in identifying areas of knowledge gap and raise public awareness of the importance of preventing and detecting prostate cancer.

一种评估成年男性前列腺癌筛查的知识、意识和实践的工具的开发和验证。

背景：前列腺癌是男性中最常见的癌症。本研究旨在评估男性对前列腺癌筛查的知识、态度和实践。材料与方法：横断面研究分三个阶段进行，历时15个月。第一阶段采用有目的的抽样方法，通过面对面访谈招募了15名参与者。第二阶段包括在放射学和肿瘤学专家小组的协助下制定调查问卷。问卷的信度采用类内相关法，信度采用Cohen’s kappa法，内部一致性采用Cronbach’s alpha法。采用方便抽样法，选取60名研究对象。结果：最终工具的内容效度和内部一致性信度是可靠的，Cronbach's alpha评分为0.77，一致性超过90%。结论：该工具将有助于确定知识差距领域，提高公众对预防和检测前列腺癌重要性的认识。
