dc.description.abstract<p>Background: The most recent report of Global Burden of Cancer (GLOBOCAN)&nbsp;indicated the incidence rate of prostate cancer in Haiti as 38.6 and the mortality rate as&nbsp;32.3 per 100,000. The literature supports a high correlation between early prostate cancer&nbsp;screening and low mortality rate from the disease. Yet, the participation of Haitian men&nbsp;in prostate cancer screening remains low (Kleier, 2010). The literature has a lack of&nbsp;research on this matter, which presented the gap to be examined.</p> <p>Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine which of these selected constructs&nbsp;of the Health Belief Model (perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, and perceived&nbsp;barriers) are predictors to the intention of Haitian men regarding prostate cancer&nbsp;screening. Other modifying variables were also considered as predictors to the outcome&nbsp;variable.</p> <p>Theoretical Framework: The Health Belief Model (HBM) was utilized as the primary&nbsp;guide for the study; the Purnell Model for Cultural Competence served a complementary&nbsp;lens to account for any cultural gap studying this population.</p> <p>Method: A correlational, predictive cross-section design was used to obtain a&nbsp;convenience sample in Haiti (N = 200). The Champion HBM scale was adapted and&nbsp;modified for prostate cancer; it was administered in Haitian Creole and French. Data&nbsp;were analyzed through descriptive, correlation, logistic regression, and the nonparametric&nbsp;Kruskal-Wallis (H) analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine predictive correlation&nbsp;among the variables.</p> <p>Results: Seven hypotheses were tested; all but one was supported. Perceived benefits&nbsp;were found to have a predictive relationship to Haitian men&rsquo;s intent to screen for prostate&nbsp;v&nbsp;cancer [ c2 (3) = 14.47, p = .00]. Further, the nonsignificant Hosmer and Lemeshow&nbsp;statistic, c2 (8) = 4.33, p = .83 supports that the data was a good fit for the model. No&nbsp;other variable was found to be significant.</p> <p>&nbsp;Conclusion: The findings from this study can be utilized by nurses and other healthcare&nbsp;professionals to generate and implement culturally appropriate interventions;&nbsp;consequently, these interventions will decrease the morbidity and mortality rates of&nbsp;prostate cancer among Haitian men in Haiti and abroad.</p>en
