男性对前列腺癌（PC）认识不足和态度差，对早期筛查有负面影响。由于报道、筛查和治疗的较晚，PC死亡率正在上升。本研究探讨了Limpopo、Thulamela市男性的意识、态度和PC筛查行为。此描述性横断面研究涉及245名随机选出的男性。使用结构化问卷收集数据。使用费舍尔精确检验和 logistic 回归分析检查社会人口学变量、认识和PC态度之间的关联。我们的发现显示，64.1% 的人对 PC 缺乏认识。总体得分(84.9%)显示对 PC 持积极态度。然而，87.4% 的人对 PC 治疗的有效性持负面态度。大多数受访者（96.7%）从未接受过PSA检测，虽然53.1% 的受访者愿意接受PSA检测。PC意识与对PC的态度之间存在显著正相关(r = 0.280，p<0.001)。健康状况可以预测有关PC的意识，而年龄和健康状况可以预测男性对PC的态度。需要基于乡村社区的计划和加强意识的宣传，以使Limpopo农村地区的男性有关PC的风险因素、症状、诊断和治疗得到更深入的了解。

Inadequate knowledge and poor attitudes about prostate cancer (PC) negatively affect early screening practices among males. The PC mortality rate is increasing due to late reporting, screening, and treatment. This study explored the awareness, attitudes, and PC screening behaviours among males in the Limpopo, Thulamela municipality. This descriptive cross-sectional study involved 245 males that were randomly selected. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Fisher's exact tests and logistic regression analysis were used to examine the association between sociodemographic variables, awareness, and attitudes towards PC. Our findings revealed that 64.1% demonstrated inadequate awareness about PC. The overall score (84.9%) showed a positive attitude towards PC. However, 87.4% had a negative attitude towards the effectiveness of treatment for PC. The majority (96.7%) of respondents had never undergone a PSA test, although 53.1% were willing to undergo a PSA test. There was a significant positive correlation between awareness of prostate cancer and attitudes toward prostate cancer (r = 0.280, p < 0.001). Health status predicted awareness about PC, while age and health status predicted attitudes towards PC among men. Rural community-based programmes and heightened awareness campaigns are needed to conscientize men about the risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of PC in rural areas of Limpopo.
