THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CANCER INFORMATION OVERLOAD AND ATTITUDES FOR CANCER SCREENING IN GERIATRIC PATIENTS WHO HAVE HAD SURGICAL PROCEDURE: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY

Öz:

This study aimed to determine the relationship between cancer information overload and attitudes toward cancer screening in elderly patients who underwent surgery. A total of 123 geriatric individuals participated in the cross-sectional study. The mean age of the participants in the study was 70.63±5.81. It was determined that 17.1% of the individuals had cancer, 30.9% had cancer in their first degree relatives, 52% had cancer screening before, and the most common screenings were colonoscopy (23.6%), pap smear (14.6%), and breast self-examination (8.1%). It was determined that the total score averages of the attitude scale for cancer screening of those who obtained information about cancer from the internet/media were significantly lower (p=0.030). It was determined that there was a significant moderate negative correlation between cancer information overload and the total scores of the attitude scale for cancer screening (r=-0.303, p=0.001). To encourage screening in the geriatric population and to prevent the risks of unnecessary screening, arrangements should be made to facilitate access to accurate information.

CERRAHİ İŞLEM UYGULANAN YAŞLI HASTALARDA KANSER BİLGİ YÜKÜ İLE KANSER TARAMALARINA YÖNELİK TUTUMLARI ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ: KESİTSEL BİR ÇALIŞMA

Öz:

Bu çalışmada cerrahi işlem uygulanan yaşlı hastalarda kanser bilgi yükü ile kanser taramalarına yönelik tutumları arasındaki ilişkinin belirlemesi amaçlandı. Kesitsel tipteki çalışmaya toplam 123 geriatrik birey katıldı. Araştırmaya katılanların yaş ortalaması 70.63±5.81'dir. Bireylerin %17.1'inin kanser olduğu, %30.9'unun birinci derece akrabalarında kanser olduğu, %52'sinin daha önce kanser taraması yaptırdığı ve en sık yaptırılan taramaların kolonoskopi (%23.6), pap smear (%14.6) ve kendi kendine meme muayenesi (%8.1) olduğu belirlendi. İnternet/medyadan kanser hakkında bilgi edinenlerin kanser taraması tutum ölçeği toplam puan ortalamalarının anlamlı oranda düşük olduğu belirlendi (p=0.030). Kanser bilgi yüklemesi ile kanser tarama tutum ölçeği toplam puanları arasında orta düzeyde negatif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu belirlendi (r=-0.303, p=0.001). Geriatrik popülasyonda taramayı teşvik etmek ve gereksiz tarama risklerini önlemek için doğru bilgiye erişimi kolaylaştıracak düzenlemeler yapılmalıdır.
