“…Participants in the study mentioned a lack of knowledge of where to go and how to do screening tests, a lack of emphasis on the screening tests, and a fear of thinking about the disease as the most common barriers to the prostate cancer screening. These results are consistent with the results of some previous studies (11,13,41).…”

“…As mentioned earlier, perceived barriers is a one of the HBM model constructs that has predictive power for health behaviors, and in this study it is used for determining the effective factors in the prostate cancer screening behaviors. These results are also consistent with the findings of Oliver et al (41). Participants in the study mentioned a lack of knowledge of where to go and how to do screening tests, a lack of emphasis on the screening tests, and a fear of thinking about the disease as the most common barriers to the prostate cancer screening.…”

Background: Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men and the second leading cause of deaths from cancer. Results of previous studies indicate the effectiveness of screening and early detection in reducing mortality from this disease. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to survey the knowledge about prostate cancer and perceived barriers to prostate cancer screening among medical staff of two universities in Ahvaz, Iran. Materials and Methods:This cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on 120 employees over 40 years old at Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences and Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, who were selected by using simple random sampling. The data collection tool was a researcher-created questionnaire based on the study of texts and other studies. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software and through analytical methods including descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The most common barriers to screening for prostate cancer were a lack of knowledge about where to go for tests and how screening tests are done (70.8%), a lack of emphasis on screening tests (59.1%), and a fear of thinking about the disease (50%). Results showed that there was no significant relationship between doing the serum antigen test and having knowledge regarding prostate cancer. But there was a significant association between prostate cancer screening and perceived barriers (P = 0.001). Conclusions: Results showed that whereas knowledge by itself cannot guarantee men's participation in prostate cancer screenings, perceived barriers can play an important role in discouraging men from cancer screening participation. Therefore, designing programs to address these barriers is very important.

“…An individual’s perceptions and psychosocial factors are also important factors for HBV screening behavior [12,13,14]. Where and how people acquire risk perception and knowledge about preventive health behavior is an important research question [15,16,17,18,19,20]. Very few studies have focused on how different sources of health information influence not only health knowledge, but also important psychosocial factors related to health behavior [21].…”

“…Very few studies have focused on how different sources of health information influence not only health knowledge, but also important psychosocial factors related to health behavior [21]. Moreover, we have very limited understanding about how these acquired knowledge and perceptions relate to preventive behaviors [20]. To fill in this gap, we examined what the common information sources of HBV are and the associations with HBV screening behavior with a Health Belief Model (HBM) framework.…”

This study examines how different information sources relate to Health Belief Model (HBM) constructs, hepatitis B virus (HBV) knowledge, and HBV screening. The Maryland Asian American Liver Cancer Education Program administered a survey of 877 Asian immigrants. The most common sources of information identified by the multiple-answer questions were newspapers (39.8%), physicians (39.3%), friends (33.8%), TV (31.7%), and the Internet (29.5%). Path analyses—controlling for age, sex, educational level, English proficiency, proportion of life in U.S., health insurance coverage, and family history of HBV infection—showed that learning about HBV from physicians had the strongest direct effect; friends had a marginal indirect effect. Perceived risk, benefits, and severity played limited roles in mediation effects. Path analysis results differed by ethnicity. Physician-based HBV screening intervention would be effective, but should be complemented with community health campaigns through popular information sources for the uninsured.

“…One interesting qualitative study looked at the barriers to and sources of influence for prostate cancer screening among rural men. The study found that most men in the study feared that prostate screening would be too embarrassing, painful, and long (Oliver et al 2011). …”

Benefits, Barriers, Sources of Influence, and Prostate Cancer Screening Among Rural Men

Abstract: In this primarily African American sample, significant barriers to PCS among rural men were indentifed. PC health education may need to include family, whom study participants highly reported as a source of influence regarding their PCS decisions.
