Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men in the UK, with 46 690 new cases in 2014. While there is sufficient research on this topic in the USA, there is no review in the UK regarding both black men and their significant others' perspective on prostate cancer screening.
To identify and explore factors that may influence black men and their significant others' knowledge and awareness of prostate cancer screening.
A literature search revealed seven relevant articles.
Six of the seven articles were conducted in the USA. The results are described using four themes: perception of prostate cancer screening, fear, anxiety and discomfort, misinformation about prostate cancer screening procedures and communication and decision-making.
The evidence suggests that some black men and their significant others had knowledge and awareness of prostate cancer screening. However, their views were influenced by misperceptions, misinformation, fear and anxiety around screening procedures and mortality. Communication and spousal support were important in decision making.
前列腺癌是英国男性中最常被诊断出的癌症,2014年有46690例新发病例。虽然美国对该主题有足够的研究,但英国尚未有关于黑人男性及其重要他人对前列腺癌筛查看法的综述。
确定并探讨可能影响黑人男性及其重要他人对前列腺癌筛查的知识和认识的因素。
文献检索发现了7篇相关文章。
7篇文章中有6篇是在美国进行的。结果用四个主题描述:对前列腺癌筛查的认知、恐惧、焦虑和不适、关于前列腺癌筛查程序的错误信息以及沟通与决策。
证据表明,一些黑人男性及其重要他人对前列腺癌筛查有一定的知识和认识。然而,他们的观点受到对筛查程序和死亡率的误解、错误信息、恐惧和焦虑的影响。沟通和配偶支持在决策中很重要。
