“…It is no surprise that if men don't know about screening then they aren't going to present themselves for a test. Odedina et al 14 argue that access to good quality and accurate information through prostate cancer education and awareness initiatives was a key factor that facilitated men to engage in early screening and early detection. Conversely, Evan et al 19 argued that high knowledge of PSA testing was associated with lower intentions to undergo testing.…”

“…The recommended age by the American Urological Association for PSA testing was reduced to 40 years because measurement for PSA level is more specialised for younger than older men 13 . It has being recommended that since there are no glaring symptoms for early prostate cancer; early detection should be prompted in 'at-risk' men, in this case Nigerian men 14 .…”

Background: Prostate cancer is a major cause of cancer death in Nigerian men. Attempts to reduce mortality from prostate cancer have focused mainly on early detection of the disease by the use of PSA testing. As a result of the increased incidence of prostate cancer in Nigeria despite the widespread availability of testing facilities, it became pertinent to understand the salient factors that prompt Nigerian men to go for prostate cancer testing. Objective: This study explores the factors that influence a group of Nigerian men's decision to go for Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) testing. Methods: Following ethical approval, semi structured interviews were conducted with a group of 10 men who had PSA test following consultation with their doctor with signs and symptoms at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital from July to August, 2010. Interview transcripts were analysed by employing steps proposed by Collaizi (1978). Results: Five themes were identified: the symptoms experienced, the influence of friends and relatives, older age associated with increased awareness, accessibility to testing services and the knowledge of the PSA test. Conclusion:The study revealed that there continues to be a considerable lack of awareness and knowledge about prostate cancer and screening.

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men globally, constituting the sixth leading cause of cancer related death in males, and the eleventh leading cause of death from cancer in all age groups. In Jordan, prostate cancer is the third most common cancer in the male population, accounting for one third (6.2%) of cancer related deaths and in 2010 alone, 218 (9.4%) new cases were identified. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of different health education interventions aimed at enhancing knowledge, beliefs and intention to screen for prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: A literature search from January 2000 to April 2015 was conducted using the key words "prostate disease," "educational program," "knowledge," "prostate cancer," "demographic factors and prostate cancer," "knowledge and prostate cancer," "education for patients with prostate cancer," "factors that affect intention to screen," "knowledge, beliefs, and intention to screen for prostate cancer," "impact of prostate educational program on beliefs," and "impact of educational program on intention to screen." Results: Majority of studies reviewed indicated that men had low levels of knowledge regarding prostate cancer, and mild to moderate beliefs with good intention to screen for prostate cancer. Conclusions: Most studies indicated that men's knowledge levels about prostate cancer were poor and they had mild to moderate beliefs and intentions to screen for prostate cancer. Therefore, development of an assessment strategy based on the Health Belief Model seems essential. An effectively designed and implemented educational program can help identify the needs and priorities of the target population.

“…20,21 The Health Belief Model (HBM) helps explain and predict preventive health behavior in terms of belief patterns. 9,22,23 The model assumes that knowledge is a necessary but insufficient condition to result in a particular preventive health behavior. Instead, the model posits that in addition to knowledge, preventive health behavior depends on (1) Perception of Threat: the value that a person places on the goal of avoiding illness; (2) Expectations: the belief that a particular health action (eg, screening) will prevent illness or death; and (3) Cues to Action: the presence of an internal and/or external motivator (Figure 1).…”
