Summary
Health education can improve prostate cancer awareness. Most men have low knowledge but good intentions to screen, highlighting the need for targeted educational programs.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Public Health
- Health Education
Background:
- Prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in men globally and a significant health concern in Jordan.
- In Jordan, it is the third most common male cancer, with 218 new cases identified in 2010.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of health education interventions on prostate cancer knowledge, beliefs, and screening intentions.
- To identify factors influencing men's engagement with prostate cancer screening.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature search was conducted from January 2000 to April 2015.
- Keywords included "prostate cancer," "educational program," "knowledge," "beliefs," and "intention to screen."
Main Results:
- The majority of reviewed studies revealed low levels of prostate cancer knowledge among men.
- Beliefs regarding prostate cancer were generally mild to moderate, with a good intention to screen.
Conclusions:
