Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is the tumor with the highest incidence in Spanish men. The implementation of health literacy and therapeutic education programs adapted to the needs of the population could be a resource to minimize the sequelae derived from the treatments used to combat this pathology. To this end, it would be necessary to know the level of health literacy about prostate cancer.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the level of health literacy in prostate cancer in the Spanish male population using the validated version of the PCKQ-12 for the Spanish population.
METHODS: Cross-sectional, population-based, descriptive study. Spanish-speaking men of legal age were included. To carry out the study, an ad hoc questionnaire was designed on the Google Forms platform, which was distributed via WhatsApp. Previously, it was necessary to validate the PCKQ-12 to the Spanish population in two phases, a first phase for translation and cross-cultural adaptation and a second phase to test the measurement properties.
RESULTS: The Spanish version of the PCKQ-12 showed good language, conceptual, semantic and content equivalence and could be used to assess health literacy in prostate cancer. Three hundred and seventy Spanish men with a mean age of 43.87 (SD 13.65) years responded to the questionnaire. The level of prostate cancer health literacy found was low (6.72 points), being 2 points higher in health men.
CONCLUSIONS: Health literacy about prostate cancer in the Spanish male population is low.

摘要：
背景：前列腺癌是西班牙男性发病率最高的肿瘤。实施适应人口需求的健康素养和治疗教育计划可能是最大程度地减少用于对抗这种病理的治疗所产生的后遗症的资源。为此,有必要了解前列腺癌的健康素养水平。
目的：使用西班牙人群验证版本的PCKQ-12来确定西班牙男性人群前列腺癌的健康素养水平。
方法：横截面，以人口为基础,描述性研究。包括法定年龄的讲西班牙语的男子。为了开展这项研究，在谷歌表单平台上设计了一份临时问卷，通过WhatsApp分发。以前,有必要分两个阶段对西班牙人口验证PCKQ-12，翻译和跨文化适应的第一阶段和测试测量属性的第二阶段。
结果：西班牙语版本的PCKQ-12显示出良好的语言，概念性的,语义和内容等效，可用于评估前列腺癌的健康素养。平均年龄为43.87（SD13.65）岁的三百七十名西班牙男性回答了问卷。发现的前列腺癌健康素养水平较低（6.72分），健康男性高出2分。
结论：西班牙男性人群中前列腺癌的健康素养较低。
