Abstract

BACKGROUND

Prostate cancer accounts for about 10% of cancers affecting and claiming the lives of men. Studies have reported that women are better than men in recognition of the early manifestations of various cancers. Besides, women have been recognized to show a profound interest in their partners' health and hence, make observations that men do not know. Several studies have reported on the knowledge gaps of prostate cancer among patients and the general population. It is vital to comprehensively review the available evidence and identify research gaps in our current understanding of knowledge of women on prostate cancer.

METHODS

A search of bibliographic databases, MEDLINE (EBSCOhost), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), PsycINFO (EBSCOhost), Web of Science, and EMBASE (Ovid) will be undertaken from January 1999 to December 2019. The search will be limited to studies published in the English language. Duplication of studies will be removed using the EndNote citation manager. After deduplication, citations will be screened independently by two authors according to prespecified criteria. Data extraction and quality assessment of the selected studies will be done independently by two authors. Meta-analytic methods will be used where appropriate. The convergent segregated method of synthesis will be adopted in this review.

ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION

Primary data collection will not be involved in this study, hence formal ethical clearance will not be needed. The results of the study will be presented through a peer-reviewed journal and conference presentation.

PATIENT AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT

Patients or the public will not be engaged in the conduct of this study.

TRIAL REGISTRATION

摘要

背景

前列腺癌约占男性癌症发病率和死亡率的 10%。研究表明，女性在识别各种癌症的早期表现方面优于男性。此外，女性被认为对伴侣的健康非常关注，因此会观察到男性没有注意到的情况。多项研究报告了前列腺癌患者和一般人群中对前列腺癌知识的了解差距。全面审查现有证据并确定我们目前对女性对前列腺癌知识的了解方面的研究差距至关重要。

方法

从 1999 年 1 月至 2019 年 12 月，将对书目数据库、MEDLINE（EBSCOhost）、CINAHL（EBSCOhost）、PsycINFO（EBSCOhost）、Web of Science 和 EMBASE（Ovid）进行检索。检索将限于以英语发表的研究。使用 EndNote 引文管理器去除重复的研究。去重后，将根据预先规定的标准由两名作者独立筛选引文。将由两名作者独立提取和评估所选研究的质量。在适当的情况下将使用荟萃分析方法。本综述将采用聚合分离方法进行综合。
