Prostate cancer is a common cancer affecting men worldwide. Few men access health services with respect to early detection. Workplace health education initiatives can promote behavior change in men. A total of 12 in-depth interviews with men were conducted in this study to examine how a workplace-based educational campaign on prostate cancer influences the knowledge, awareness, and beliefs of male workers on screening for prostate cancer. Analyses of interview transcripts identified that men had a poor overall knowledge about prostate cancer, its screening, and treatment. Participants were receptive to the introduction of workplace-based health education initiatives to promote men's health issues but recommended an integrated health approach that incorporated information delivered by medical professionals, cancer survivors, supplemented with existing patient education materials. Further research is required to formally evaluate the impact of workplace-based education strategies on men's health.
前列腺癌是一种常见的影响全球男性的癌症。很少有男性会寻求早期检测方面的健康服务。职场健康教育培训活动可以促进男性行为的改变。本研究共对 12 名男性进行了深入访谈，以研究基于工作场所的前列腺癌教育活动如何影响男性工人对前列腺癌筛查的知识、意识和信念。对访谈记录的分析表明，男性对前列腺癌、其筛查和治疗的整体知识水平较差。参与者对引入基于工作场所的健康教育活动以促进男性健康问题表示欢迎，但建议采用综合健康方法，将医疗专业人员、癌症幸存者提供的信息与现有患者教育材料相结合。需要进一步研究来正式评估基于工作场所的教育策略对男性健康的影响。
