摘要:: The purpose of the study was to determine if a relationship exists between multidimensional health locus of control and knowledge of breast cancer, prostate cancer, cancer myths, and danger signs. A descriptive correlational design was used. A convenience sample of 78 rural men and 79 rural women participated in the study. Participants completed three questionnaires: (a) the Cancer Danger Signs Questionnaire, (b) the Cancer Myths Questionnaire, (c) the Prostate Cancer Knowledge Test (completed by the men) and the Breast Cancer Knowledge Test (completed by the women). Results indicated that an internal score on the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLOC) scale did not predict knowledge of breast cancer in women, prostate cancer in men, cancer myths, or danger signs. Women who scored high on the Powerful Others subscale of the MHLOC had statistically significant high scores on knowledge of breast cancer, but not on cancer myths and danger signs. The MHLOC and its subscales did not predict knowledge of prostate cancer, cancer myths, or cancer danger signs for the male participants. The implications of these results for rural nursing practice and their relationship to previous research are discussed.
