Evaluation of Perspectives of Healthcare Professionals and Others Towards Cancer: Survey Study
Öz: INTRODUCTION: Cancer patients may experience various physical and psychological problems
depending on the disease. It has been determined that as the general attitudes taken towards cancer
have become negative in healthy individuals, attitudes taken towards the curability of cancer have also
become negative. We aimed to evaluate the differences in the perspective of healthy individuals on
cancer, and to compare healthcare professionals and non-healthcare professionals from this point of view.
METHODS: The questionnaire was filled out face-to-face by two separate groups of people, one of which
comprised healthcare professionals and the other comprised people that are not healthcare professionals.
Both groups’approachesto cancer were evaluated by means ofthis questionnaire consisting of 11 questions,
through which the demographic and professional characteristics of the participants were questioned first.
RESULTS: A statistically significant difference (p <0.01) was found between the two groups in terms
of the answers given to the following five questions. No statistically significant difference was found
between the two groups in terms of answers given to other questions.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: There was a significant difference between the two groups in
terms of the answers given to certain questions included in the questionnaire. We think that the fact that
healthcare professionals have more contact with cancer patients and especially that they can follow the
diagnosis and treatment process of such patients more closely, compared to the group, which does not
include any healthcare professionals, was effective in obtaining this result.
Anahtar Kelime: Sağlık Çalışanı Olan ve Sağlık Çalışanı Olmayanların Kansere Yaklaşımının Değerlendirilmesi: Anket Çalışması
Öz: GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Kanser hastaları, hastalığa bağlı olarak çeşitli fiziksel ve psikolojik problemler
yaşamaktadır. Sağlıklı bireylerde kansere karşı genel tutumların negatif hale gelmesiyle, kanserin
iyileştirilebilirliğine yönelik tutumların da negatif olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Biz sağlıklı bireylerin kansere
bakış açısındaki farklılıkların değerlendirilmesini, sağlık çalışanları ve sağlık çalışanı olmayan bireylerin
bu açıdan karşılaştırılmasını amaçladık.
YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Anket, sağlık çalışanı olan ve sağlık çalışanı olmayan kişilerden oluşan
iki ayrı grup arasında yüz yüze dolduruldu. Her iki grubun kansere yaklaşımları, ilk olarak katılımcıların
demografik ve mesleki özelliklerinin sorgulandığı 11 sorudan oluşan bu anket aracılığıyla değerlendirildi.
BULGULAR: Ankette beş soruya verilen cevaplar açısından iki grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı
bir fark bulundu (p <0.01). Bu sorular, yakınında kanser teşhisi olan birinin olup olmadığı, kanser tarama
programlarına katılım düzeyi, kanser teşhisinin hastayla paylaşılması, ötenazi hakkı ve kanser tanısını
yakınlarıyla paylaşma kararı ile ilgiliydi. Diğer sorulara verilen cevaplar açısından iki grup arasında
istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır.
TARTIŞMA ve SONUÇ: Ankette yer alan sorulara verilen cevaplar açısından iki grup arasında anlamlı
bir fark vardı. Sağlık çalışanlarının kanser hastalarıyla daha fazla teması olduğu ve özellikle bu hastaların
teşhis ve tedavi sürecini, herhangi bir sağlık çalışanı olmayan gruba kıyasla daha yakından takip
edebilmelerinin bu sonucu elde etmede etkili olduğunu düşünüyoruz.
