Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine university students' attitudes toward lung cancer screening and healthy lifestyle and the factors that influence these attitudes.
Methods: In the study, the data were collected from 295 students between September 2022 and February 2023 by using a personal information form, the Healthy Life Awareness Scale (HLAS), the Health Belief Model Scale for Lung Cancer and Screening (HBMSLCS).
Results: It was observed that the sensitivity perception and barrier perception subscales of the HBMSLCS were higher in men than their female counter parts, and those with extended families had higher severity perception and barrier perception than those with nuclear families. As the general health status improved, the sensitivity perception and the severity perception decreased. Sensitivity perception was higher in smokers than in non-smokers. Non-smokers had higher health motivation than non-smokers. Moreover, the barrier perception was higher in those consuming alcohol compared to those who did not. As the HLAS increased, it was observed that the severity perception and barrier perception subscales of the HBMSLCS decreased.
Conclusion: Consequently, it was determined that the students perceived lung cancer screening as beneficial, but they were not sensitive enough to have screening. The barrier perception related to screening was low, the health motivation was high, and the severity perception was moderate.

Amaç: Bu çalışma, üniversite öğrencilerinin akciğer kanseri taramalarına ve sağlıklı yaşam tarzına yönelik tutumlarını ve bu tutumları etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı-Kesitsel nitelikteki bu çalışmada veriler Eylül 2022-Şubat 2023 tarihleri arasında 295 öğrenciden kişisel bilgi formu, Sağlıklı Yaşam Farkındalık Ölçeği, Akciğer Kanseri ve Taramalarına Yönelik Sağlık İnanç Modeli Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Akciğer Kanseri ve Taramalarına Yönelik Sağlık İnanç Modeli Ölçeği duyarlılık algısı ve engel algısı alt ölçeklerinin erkeklerde kadınlara göre daha yüksek olduğu ve geniş aileye sahip olanların çekirdek aileye sahip olanlara göre daha yüksek şiddet algısı ve engel algısına sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Genel sağlık durumu iyileştikçe duyarlılık algısı ve şiddet algısı azalmıştır. Sigara içenlerde duyarlılık algısı içmeyenlere göre daha yüksektir. Sigara içmeyenlerin sağlık motivasyonu sigara içenlere göre daha yüksekti. Ayrıca, alkol tüketenlerde tüketmeyenlere kıyasla engel algısı daha yüksekti. Sağlıklı yaşam farkındalığı arttıkça Akçiğer kanserine yönelim sağlık inanç modelinin şiddet algısı ve engel algısı alt ölçeklerinin azaldığı görülmüştür.
Sonuç: Öğrencilerin akciğer kanseri taramasını faydalı olarak algıladıkları, ancak tarama yaptırmak için yeterince duyarlı olmadıkları belirlenmiştir. Taramaya ilişkin engel algısı düşük, sağlık motivasyonu yüksek ve şiddet algısı orta düzeydedir.
