Abstract

Background: Several screening models have recently been applied to study awareness and help people make informed decisions regarding cancer screening.

Aims: This study aimed to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and lung cancer screening health beliefs (LCSHBs) among Jordanians. Moreover, we intended to translate the LCSHBs scale into the Arabic language and test its validity and reliability.

Methods: An online survey (Google Forms) was completed by 916 participants in Jordan via snowball sampling technique from February 10, 2024, to March 2, 2024, assessing lung cancer screening knowledge, lung cancer preventive attitudes, screening-related health beliefs, and stages of screening adoption. Linear regression analysis, correlations, and non-parametric statistics were utilized for statistical inference.

Results: Participants had high mean percentage scores of 86.56% and 85.75% for knowledge and preventive attitudes towards lung cancer screening, respectively. The Arabic version of the LCSHBs model was found to be a valid and reliable tool, as indicated by principal component analysis extraction and Cronbach's alpha values. Lung cancer screening knowledge was positively associated with perceived benefits and negatively associated with perceived barriers to screening. Knowledge, perceived barriers, perceived risk of lung cancer, self-efficacy (SE) to screen, and lung cancer preventive attitudes were significantly associated with the perceived benefits of lung cancer screening (p < 0.05). We also found that the higher the SE, the higher the physical activity and the lower the perceived barriers.

Conclusion: The Arabic version of the LCSHBs model is valid and reliable for assessing health beliefs toward lung cancer screening. We recommend enhancing targeted interventions, educational outreach, and improving health insurance access to reduce lung cancer incidence in Jordan and promote screening behaviors.

肺癌筛查健康信念模型：阿拉伯语版本的心理计量特性以及影响约旦人筛查和预防的因素。

背景：目的：本研究旨在探讨约旦人对肺癌筛查的认识、态度和肺癌筛查健康信念（LCSHBs）。此外，我们还打算将肺癌筛查健康信念量表翻译成阿拉伯语，并测试其有效性和可靠性：方法：2024 年 2 月 10 日至 2024 年 3 月 2 日，我们通过滚雪球抽样技术在约旦对 916 名参与者进行了在线调查（谷歌表单），评估他们的肺癌筛查知识、肺癌预防态度、筛查相关健康信念以及筛查采用阶段。统计推断采用线性回归分析、相关性和非参数统计：受试者对肺癌筛查的知识和预防态度的平均百分比得分较高，分别为 86.56% 和 85.75%。主成分分析提取和克朗巴赫α值表明，阿拉伯语版 LCSHBs 模型是一个有效、可靠的工具。肺癌筛查知识与感知到的筛查益处呈正相关，而与感知到的筛查障碍呈负相关。肺癌筛查知识、感知障碍、感知肺癌风险、筛查自我效能（SE）和肺癌预防态度与肺癌筛查的感知益处显著相关（P 结论：肺癌筛查知识、感知障碍、感知肺癌风险、筛查自我效能（SE）和肺癌预防态度与肺癌筛查的感知益处显著相关：阿拉伯语版的 LCSHBs 模型在评估肺癌筛查的健康信念方面是有效和可靠的。我们建议加强有针对性的干预、教育宣传和改善医疗保险的可及性，以降低约旦的肺癌发病率并促进筛查行为。

期刊介绍： Psycho-Oncology is concerned with the psychological, social, behavioral, and ethical aspects of cancer. This subspeciality addresses the two major psychological dimensions of cancer: the psychological responses of patients to cancer at all stages of the disease, and that of their families and caretakers; and the psychological, behavioral and social factors that may influence the disease process. Psycho-oncology is an area of multi-disciplinary interest and has boundaries with the major specialities in oncology: the clinical disciplines (surgery, medicine, pediatrics, radiotherapy), epidemiology, immunology, endocrinology, biology, pathology, bioethics, palliative care, rehabilitation medicine, clinical trials research and decision making, as well as psychiatry and psychology. This international journal is published twelve times a year and will consider contributions to research of clinical and theoretical interest. Topics covered are wide-ranging and relate to the psychosocial aspects of cancer and AIDS-related tumors, including: epidemiology, quality of life, palliative and supportive care, psychiatry, psychology, sociology, social work, nursing and educational issues. Special reviews are offered from time to time. There is a section reviewing recently published books. A society news section is available for the dissemination of information relating to meetings, conferences and other society-related topics. Summary proceedings of important national and international symposia falling within the aims of the journal are presented.
