Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this article was to investigate the relationship between the fear of breast cancer, perceived risk, knowledge of breast cancer, and breast cancer diagnosis behaviors in women with and without a family history of breast cancer. Materials and Methods: The study used a descriptive and cross-sectional design and was carried out through face-to-face interviews between December 2019 and April 2020 with 308 women who had a family history of breast cancer and were receiving breast cancer treatment in the Oncology and Chemotherapy unit of a city hospital and 523 patient relatives who were receiving treatment in other services of the hospital and had no family history of breast cancer. Results: The perceived risk of breast cancer in ten years by women with a family history of breast cancer, compared to that of women with no family history, increased by 1,938 times, the fear of breast cancer score increased by 1,073 times and that the Comprehensive Breast Cancer Knowledge Test (CBCKT) score increased by 3,269 times. Conclusion: The breast cancer diagnosis behaviors of women with a family history (performing BSE, having a CBE, having a mammogram in women aged over 40) increased significantly compared to those who did not have a family history, but that it was still not at the desired level in both groups.
Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmada ailesel meme kanseri öyküsü olan ve olmayan kadınlarda meme kanseri korkusu, risk algısı, meme kanseri bilgisi ve meme kanseri tanılama davranışları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı- kesitsel tipte yapılan araştırma, Aralık 2019 – Nisan 2020 tarihleri arasında bir şehir hastanesinin Onkoloji ve Kemoterapi ünitesinde meme kanseri tedavisi gören 308 aile öyküsü olan ve diğer servislerde tedavi gören aile öyküsü olmayan 523 hasta yakını kadın ile yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Aile öyküsü olan kadınların olmayan kadınlara göre on yıl içindeki meme kanseri risk algısının 1,938 kat, meme kanseri korku puanının 1,073 kat ve Geniş Kapsamlı Meme Kanseri Bilgi Testi (GKMKBT) tedavi edilebilirlik puanının 3,269 kat arttığı belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Çalışmada aile öyküsü olan kadınların meme kanseri tanılama davranışlarının (KKMM yapma, KMM yaptırma, 40 yaş üstü kadınlarda mamografi çektirme) aile öyküsü olmayanlara göre anlamlı şekilde arttığı ancak her iki grupta da hala istendik düzeyde olmadığı belirlendi.
