To conduct a cancer education intervention with racially diverse communities in South Carolina.
The study was conducted at eight different sites in six counties in SC. The intervention included a 3-h general cancer knowledge and 30-min prostate cancer knowledge component. Pre- and post-intervention surveys were administered. Maximum scores were 31, 10 and 5 for the general cancer knowledge, prostate cancer knowledge and perceived self-efficacy in patient-physician interaction instruments, respectively. Analyses were completed using SPSS 16.0, SAS 9.1.3, and R v2.6.1.
The study sample consisted of 164 predominantly African American participants. Most of the participants who reported age were 50+ years (62.5%). Among those who reported income, 46.1% had an annual household income <$40,000. The mean general cancer knowledge pre-test score was 26.2 (standard deviation (SD) 3.7) with a mean post-intervention increase of 2.15 points (p<0.01). The mean pre-test prostate cancer knowledge score was 7.3 (SD 2.0) with a post-intervention increase of 0.48 points (p<0.01). Perceived self-efficacy in patient-physician interaction scores had a ceiling effect.
General cancer knowledge and prostate cancer knowledge scores increased following the intervention.
The intervention was successful in the short-term. It could be continued by community members.
在南卡罗来纳州的多个族裔社区开展癌症教育干预。
该研究在南卡罗来纳州六个县的八个不同地点进行。干预措施包括 3 小时的一般癌症知识和 30 分钟的前列腺癌知识组成部分。在干预前后进行了调查。一般癌症知识、前列腺癌知识和医患互动感知自我效能工具的最高得分为 31、10 和 5。使用 SPSS 16.0、SAS 9.1.3 和 R v2.6.1 完成分析。
研究样本包括 164 名主要是非裔美国人参与者。大多数报告年龄的参与者年龄在 50 岁以上（62.5%）。在报告收入的参与者中，46.1%的人家庭年收入<40000 美元。一般癌症知识预测试平均得分为 26.2（标准差（SD）3.7），干预后平均增加 2.15 分（p<0.01）。前列腺癌知识预测试平均得分为 7.3（SD 2.0），干预后增加 0.48 分（p<0.01）。医患互动感知自我效能得分存在上限效应。
干预后一般癌症知识和前列腺癌知识得分增加。
该干预在短期内取得了成功。可以由社区成员继续进行。
