Hastaneye Başvuran Kırk Yaş Üstü Erkeklerde Prostat Kanseri Taramaları Bilgisinin ve Düzenli Egzersiz Bilincinin İncelenmesi

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı; 40 yaşının üstündeki erkeklerde kanserden koruyucu bir etken olan düzenli egzersize ait bilinç düzeyinin ve prostat kanseri taramaları bilgisinin incelenmesidir. Materyal ve Metot: Çalışma, prospektif olarak yürütüldü. Hastanemize başvuran kırk yaşının üstündeki erkeklerin demografik veri formunu, ‘Prostat Kanseri Taramaları Bilgi Testi’ni ve ‘Egzersiz/Fiziksel Aktivite Bilinç Düzeyi Anketi’ni cevaplaması istendi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya, 181 erkek dahil edildi. Prostat Kanseri Taramaları Bilgi Testi’nden alınan ortalama puan 3.8±2.6 olarak tespit edildi. Aile öyküsü pozitif olan kişilerin tarama bilgi testinden aldığı puanlar daha yüksekti (p=0.002). Eğitimin artması tarama testi bilgisini arttırıyordu (p<0.05). Tarama testi bilgisi düşük olanlar, tarama programlarına daha az katılıyordu (p<0.05). Sağlık-Egzersiz/Fiziksel Aktivite Bilinç Düzeyi Anketi’nden alınan ortalama puanın 106.3±27.2 olduğu bulundu. Kırsalda yaşayanların fiziksel aktivite bilinç düzeyi daha düşük iken eğitim arttıkça fiziksel aktivite alışkanlığı artıyordu (p<0.05). Tarama testi bilgisi yüksek olanların hem fiziksel aktivite bilinci hem de alışkanlığı daha yüksekti (p<0.05). Sonuç: Toplumda, prostat kanserin erken tanısını kolaylaştıran tarama testleri bilgisi arttırılırken bir yandan da sağlıklı yaşam alışkanlıkları konusunda bilgi ve alışkanlık düzeyinin arttırılması gerekmektedir.

Examination of Prostate Cancer Screening Knowledge and Regular Exercise Awareness in Men Over 40 Years Old Admitted to Hospital

Abstract

Background: To examine level of awareness of regular exercise, which is a protective factor from cancer, and prostate cancer screening knowledge (PCaSK) in men over 40 years of age. Material and method: The study was conducted prospectively. Men over forty years of age who applied to our hospital were asked to answer the demographic information form, "PCaSK Test", and "Exercise/Physical Activity Awareness Level Questionnaire (E/PAALQ)". Results: In the study, 181 men were included. The mean score obtained from PCaSK Test was determined to be 3.8±2.6. Individuals who had a positive family history obtained higher scores from PCaSK (p=0.002). The increase in education was increasing PCaSK (p<0.05). Individuals, who had low screening test knowledge, were participating less in screening programs (p<0.05). The mean score obtained from E/PAALQ was found to be 106.3±27.2. While level of physical activity awareness of rural residents was lower, physical activity habit increased as education level increased (p<0.05). In individuals with high screening test knowledge, both awareness and habit of physical activity were higher (p<0.05). Conclusion: In society, while increasing knowledge of screening tests that facilitate early diagnosis of prostate cancer, knowledge and habit level should be increased on subject of healthy living habits also.
