ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study was to examine the factors affecting prostate cancer screening behavior in Korean men using the health belief model (HBM).METHODS:
It was a descriptive cross-sectional survey. A total of 121 participants answered questionnaires which included general characteristics, knowledge, and HBM variables related to prostate cancer and prostate cancer screening tests.RESULTS:
Only 18 participants (14.9%) had had a prostate cancer screening test before. Participants who had had a prostate cancer screening test were more likely to perceive lower health status (odds ratio 0.61 [95% confidence interval 0.39, 0.93]), higher perceived sensitivity (odds ratio 3.55 [95% confidence interval 1.11, 11.36]), and higher self-efficacy (odds ratio 5.77 [95% confidence interval 1.51, 22.08]) than participants who had not had a test.CONCLUSION:
We recommend developing an educational program which can increase the level of perceived sensitivity and self-efficacy to involve themselves in prostate cancer screening test actively.
