目的：调查50岁及以上香港华人男性前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)检测的摄取率，并找出接受PSA检测的相关因素。方法：2007年在香港进行了一项基于人群的电话调查。这项调查涵盖了人口统计信息、感知的健康状况、补充治疗的使用、癌症筛查行为、感知的癌症易感性和癌症家族史。结果：1002名50岁及以上男性参与研究，应答率为67%，PSA检测摄取率为10%。就业状况、使用补充疗法、认为定期就诊有益于健康以及卫生专业人员的推荐是影响PSA检测的重要因素。结论：研究人群PSA检测的接受率很低。在所有确定的因素中，卫生专业人员的建议与PSA检测的接受情况有最强的相关性，因此他们应该在对这些人群进行癌症预防和检测的教育方面发挥积极作用。
Objective: To investigate the uptake rate of prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing among Hong Kong Chinese males aged 50 or above, and identify factors associated with the likelihood of undergoing a PSA test.Methods: A population-based telephone survey was conducted in Hong Kong in 2007. The survey covered demographic information, perceived health status, use of complementary therapy, cancer screening behavior, perceived susceptibility to cancer and family history of cancer. Descriptive statistics, percentages and logistic regression analysis were used for data analysis.Results: A total of 1,002 men aged 50 or above took part in the study (response rate =67%), and the uptake rate of PSA testing was found to be 10%. Employment status, use of complementary therapy, perceiving regular visits to a doctor as good for health and the recommendations of health professionals were significant factors associated with PSA testing.Conclusion: The uptake rate of PSA testing in the study population was very low. Among all the factors identified, recommendations from health professionals had the strongest association with the uptake of PSA testing, and they should therefore take an active role in educating this population about cancer prevention and detection.
