Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the status quo of illness perception of middle-aged and elderly male patients with abnormal prostate cancer screening in the community and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide a reference for carrying out health promotion and promoting early treatment of prostate cancer.Methods:From September 2021 to April 2023, the convenient sampling was used to select 750 patients with abnormal prostate cancer screening in 15 community health service centers in Nanjing as research objects according to the prostate cancer screening system of Department of Urology of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital. The general information questionnaire, the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ), Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), The eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were used to conduct the questionnaire survey. Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between illness perception and eHealth literacy, self-perceived burden and social support in middle-aged and elderly men with abnormal prostate cancer screening in community. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of illness perception of middle-aged and elderly men with abnormal prostate cancer screening in the community.Results:A total of 750 questionnaires were sent out in this study, and 703 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 93.73% (703/750). BIPQ score of 703 middle-aged and elderly men with abnormal prostate cancer screening in the community was (45.68±8.73). The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in BIPQ scores among middle-aged and elderly men with abnormal prostate cancer screening in different ages, marital status, educational level, income level, medical expenses and whether there were other chronic diseases ( P<0.05). Illness perception was negatively correlated with eHealth literacy and social support ( P<0.01), and positively correlated with self-perceived burden ( P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that income level, medical expenses, self-perceived burden, eHealth literacy and social support were the influential factors for illness perception of middle-aged and elderly men with abnormal prostate cancer screening in the community ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The illness perception of middle-aged and elderly men with abnormal prostate cancer screening in the community needs to be improved urgently. The society and medical staff should pay more attention to the patients with abnormal prostate cancer screening, take effective intervention measures to improve the correct cognition of the disease and improve patients' medical treatment behavior, so as to achieve "early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment".
