Objective:
The main objective of this comprehensive mixed-methods investigation conducted in Jordan were to explore and understand men's engagement in cancer screening.
Methods:
The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining a survey with 209 participants and focus group interviews with 30 individuals. The survey involved quantitative data collection methods to gather information on cancer screening participation rates among men in Amman. Focus group interviews were conducted to collect qualitative data on the factors influencing cancer screening utilization among men in Amman.
Results:
The study revealed a notably low participation rate, with less than 37% of men engaging in cancer screening. The diminished involvement was attributed to several factors, including health illiteracy, language barriers, restricted access to health-related information and screening services, and cultural considerations.
Conclusions:
Based on the findings, the research strongly advocates for tailored interventions that are culturally specific. The emphasis is on the importance of training community health workers to address the identified challenges and enhance both cancer prevention awareness and screening accessibility in Jordan.
