Abstract
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of men toward prostate cancer screening. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted over 15 months over three phases. Phase I recruited 15 participants through face-to-face interviews using a purposive sampling approach. Phase II involved the development of a questionnaire with the assistance of a panel of radiology and oncology experts. The questionnaire was validated for reliability using intraclass correlation, inter-rater reliability via Cohen's kappa, and internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha in Phase III. A convenience sampling method was used to select 60 study participants. RESULT: The content validity and internal consistency reliability of the final tool were found to be reliable with a Cronbach's alpha score of 0.77 with more than 90% agreement. CONCLUSION: This tool will aid in identifying areas of knowledge gap and raise public awareness of the importance of preventing and detecting prostate cancer.
