BACKGROUND
Early-stage prostate cancer can be asymptomatic. The digital rectal exam (DRE) and the prostate specific antigen (PSA) test are usually used for prostate cancer screening. This study aims to assess knowledge and attitudes towards prostate cancer screening among males in Saudi Arabia.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A cross-sectional study was conducted on Saudi males above the age of 40. A self-reported questionnaire was distributed online.
RESULTS
A total of 368 males completed the questionnaire. In the studied group, 64.5% had heard about prostate cancer through social media (46.7%), the internet (40.1%), or healthcare providers (18.6%). In addition, around 20.3% of the participants had heard about the PSA screening test. Moreover, 55.2% of participants had an inadequate level of knowledge about prostate cancer and the PSA test, while 53.1% had a negative attitude.
CONCLUSION
There was a poor level of knowledge and attitude towards screening for prostate cancer among males in Saudi Arabia. This could be due to the lack of education on the risks of prostate cancer by healthcare providers.
背景
早期前列腺癌可能没有症状。直肠指检（DRE）和前列腺特异性抗原（PSA）检测通常用于前列腺癌筛查。本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯男性对前列腺癌筛查的知识和态度。
材料与方法
对40岁以上的沙特男性进行了一项横断面研究。通过在线方式发放了一份自我报告问卷。
结果
共有368名男性完成了问卷。在研究组中，64.5%的人通过社交媒体（46.7%）、互联网（40.1%）或医疗服务提供者（18.6%）听说过前列腺癌。此外，约20.3%的参与者听说过PSA筛查检测。此外，55.2%的参与者对前列腺癌和PSA检测的知识水平不足，而53.1%的人态度消极。
结论
沙特阿拉伯男性对前列腺癌筛查的知识和态度水平较低。这可能是由于医疗服务提供者对前列腺癌风险缺乏教育。
