| Abstract | ||
| Background: Prostate cancer (PC) remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among males globally, necessitating accessible and comprehensive health education to improve diagnostic awareness, preventive measures, and overall patient perception as health outcomes. Aim: To evaluate the effect of a prostatic cancer educational program on patients' health outcomes. Method: A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving a purposively selected one group of 60 patients, assigned through a simple random sampling technique. The study employed three tools to collect data; Tools: I) Structured interview questionnaire, capturing demographic and clinical profiles alongside Prostate Cancer Knowledge (PCK); Tool: II): Prostate Cancer Preventive Practices Questionnaire (PCPPQ) – evaluating adherence to preventive strategies. Tool: III): Prostate Cancer Perception Questionnaire – measuring attitudinal shifts and disease-related understanding. The study was conducted within the urology departments of Suez Canal and Ain Shams University Hospitals, Egypt. Results: A statistically significant improvement was observed in patients' knowledge base, adherence to preventive measures, and overall perception regarding prostate cancer management among pre (8.83±2.58, 18.53±2.40, 24.68±4.55) immediately post (19.20±2.16, 30.25±4.94, 37.38±4.58) and one month (14.06±2.15, 23.5±5.04, 32.64±3.08) following the educational program implementation respectively. Conclusion: The integration of structured educational interventions presents a transformative impact on the health outcomes of prostate cancer patients; with enhanced disease comprehension, strengthened commitment to preventive practices, and improved perception of management strategies emphasize the pivotal role of targeted health education. Recommendations: Development of accessible education frameworks tailored to diverse patient populations is imperative to fostering long-term positive health outcomes. | ||
