BACKGROUND
Since behavioral factors are significant determinants of population health, addressing prostate cancer (CaP)-related health beliefs and cultural beliefs are key weapons to fight this deadly disease. This study investigated the health beliefs and cultural beliefs of black men relative to CaP, and the key socio-demographic correlates of these beliefs.
METHODS
The study design was a cross-sectional survey of 2,864 Florida black men, age 40 to 70, on their perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, attitude, outcomes beliefs, perceived behavioral control, CaP fatalism, religiosity, temporal orientation, and acculturation relative to CaP screening and prevention.
RESULTS
The men reported favorable attitude and positive outcome beliefs, but moderate perceived behavioral control, CaP susceptibility and CaP severity. They also had low level of acculturation, did not hold fatalistic beliefs about CaP, had high religious coping skills and had high future time perspective. Several demographic variables were found to be associated with health beliefs and cultural beliefs.
DISCUSSION
Our study provides rich data with regard to the health and cultural beliefs that might serve to inform the development of CaP control initiative for US-born and foreign-born black men.
背景
由于行为因素是人口健康的重要决定因素，因此解决与前列腺癌（CaP）相关的健康信念和文化信念是对抗这种致命疾病的关键武器。本研究调查了黑人男性与 CaP 相关的健康信念和文化信念，以及这些信念的主要社会人口学相关因素。
方法
本研究设计是对 2864 名年龄在 40 至 70 岁之间的佛罗里达州黑人男性进行的横断面调查，调查他们对 CaP 筛查和预防的感知易感性、感知严重性、态度、结果信念、感知行为控制、CaP 宿命论、宗教信仰、时间取向和文化适应的看法。
结果
男性报告了有利的态度和积极的结果信念，但对行为控制、CaP 易感性和 CaP 严重程度的感知中等。他们的文化适应程度较低，对 CaP 没有宿命论信念，具有较高的宗教应对能力和未来时间观。一些人口统计学变量与健康信念和文化信念有关。
讨论
我们的研究提供了有关健康和文化信念的丰富数据，这些数据可能有助于为美国出生和外国出生的黑人男性制定 CaP 控制计划。
