Risk Factors and Screening Behaviours of Individuals Aged 50 and over years for Colorectal Cancer

Abstract

Objective: To determine the risk factors and the screening behaviours of individuals aged 50 and over years for colorectal cancer. Method: The study was conducted as cross-sectionally and it included 419 individuals enrolled in a Family Health Centre by a systematic sampling method. Descriptive Characteristics Form, Colorectal Cancer Risk Form and Screening Behaviours of Individuals for Colon Cancer Form were used to collect data. Results: It was determined that 74.4% of individuals were overweight or obese, 65.9% had a chronic disease, 51.1% were not exercising regularly. It was found that 24.3% of individuals knew of the early diagnosis tests of colorectal cancer and 14.8% of individuals have undergone a test for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Knowledge about early diagnosis tests, family member with colon cancer and bowel disease were the main factors that increased rate to undergo an early diagnosis tests. Conclusion: In the study, there is a high prevelance of colorectal cancer risk factors and undergone a test for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer was low. The study findings suggest individuals should be informed about preventive lifestyle behaviours from colorectal cancer and early diagnosis tests for colorectal cancer.

50 Yaş ve Üzeri Bireylerin Kolorektal Kanser Risk Faktörleri ve Tarama Davranışları

Abstract

Amaç: 50 yaş ve üzeri bireylerin kolorektal kanser risk faktörleri ve tarama davranışlarını belirlemekti. Yöntem: Çalışma kesitsel olarak yürütüldü ve bir Aile Sağlığı Merkezine kayıtlı sistematik örneklem yöntemi ile belirlenen 419 bireyi içerdi. Verilerin toplanmasında Tanıtıcı Özellikler Formu, Kolorektal Kanser Risk Formu ve Tarama Davranışları Formu kullanıldı. Bulgular: Bireylerin %74.4’ünün fazla kilolu veya obez olduğu, 65.9%’unun kronik bir hastalığının olduğu ve 51.1%’inin düzenli egzersiz yapmadığı belirlendi. Bireylerin 24.3%’ünün kolorektal kanser erken tanı testlerini bildiği ve 14.8%’inin kolorektal kanser erken tanısı için test yaptırdığı bulundu. Erken tanı testleri ile ilgili bilgi, kolon kanser tanılı aile üyesinin olması ve barsak hastalığı erken tanı testleri yaptırma oranlarını artıran temel faktörlerdi. Sonuç: Çalışmada kolorektal kanser risk faktörü oranları yüksek iken tarama testi yaptırma oranı düşüktü. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular bireylerin kolorektal kanserlere yönelik koruyucu yaşam stili davranışları ve kolorektal kanser erken tanı testleri ile ilgili bilgi verilmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir. Anahtar kelimeler: Kolorektal kanser, risk faktörü, tarama
