Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge level regarding prostate cancer screenings and to examine the related factors. Material and methods: The data of this cross-sectional study were collected in 2011. Data were collected from 243 individuals who were aged 60 and above in two family health centers in the province of Kars. Personal information forms and a knowledge test of prostate cancer screenings were used for data collection. Results: The average age of the participants was 67.61±5.96 years, and the mean knowledge score was 4.85±2.38. The knowledge level of prostate cancer screenings was found to be higher in individuals who are high school and higher education graduates, have health insurance, have previously had their PSA levels measured and with family members who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. It was determined that other variables did not affect the participants’ knowledge level. Conclusion: No individual in this study received a perfect score on the knowledge test. Furthermore, the overall mean score on the knowledge test was lower than previous studies. Interventional studies aimed at increasing the knowledge level may helpful.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada amaç prostat kanseri taramalarına ilişkin bilgi düzeyini saptamak ve ilişkili olan faktörleri incelemektir. Gereç ve yöntemler: Kesitsel türde yapılan bu çalışmanın verileri 2011 yılında toplanmıştır. Veriler Kars İli’nde bulunan iki aile sağlığı merkezi bölgesinde, 60 yaş ve üzeri 243 bireyden toplanmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında kişisel bilgi formu ve prostat kanseri taramaları bilgi testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 67.61±5.96 yıldır ve bilgi puan ortalaması 4.85±2.38’dir. Lise ve üzeri eğitim seviyesinde, sağlık güvencesi olan, daha önce PSA düzeyini ölçtüren ve aile veya akrabalarında prostat kanseri tanısı alan bireylerin prostat kanseri taramaları bilgi düzeyi daha yüksektir. Gelecekte taramaya katılma niyetini “Emin değilim” olarak bildiren bireylerin daha düşük bilgi düzeyine sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir. Diğer değişkenlerin bilgi düzeyini etkilemediği belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada bilgi testinden tam puan alan birey bulunmamaktadır ve bilgi puan ortalaması önceki çalışmalara göre düşüktür. Bilgi düzeyini yükseltmeye yönelik girişimsel çalışmalar daha faydalı olabilir.
