Abstract

Aim: This
study was conducted in order to determine healthy lifestyle behaviours and
attitudes of first degree relatives of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC)
towards protection from CRC.

Material and Method:
The data were collected by the researcher using Colorectal Cancer Screening
Attitude Beliefs Scale (CCSAB), and Health Promotion Life-Style Profile II
(HPLP).

Results:
It was found that more than half (56.3%) of the patient relatives did not have
knowledge about CRC and 85.2% did not participate early diagnosis/screening
programs of CRC. It was found that CCSAB total mean score of the patient
relatives was 53.06±8.91 and HPLP’ total mean score was 132.46±20.96. Both
HPLP’ mean score and CCSAB’ mean score was higher in patient’ relatives who had
knowledge about CRC and participated in early diagnosis/screening programs of
CRC and the difference was determined to be highly significant. A positive,
weak, and statistically significant correlation was found between CCSAB and
HPLP scale of patient relatives in the study.

Discussion:
The present study showed that the rate of patient relatives to participate in
CRC screening participation rates was low, healthy lifestyle behaviours and
attitudes towards protection from CRC were moderate. Nurses should raise
awareness through protection from cancer and early diagnosis/screening programs
especially for cancer patients’ relatives in all individuals is at risk
primarily first degree relatives of patients with protection from and be
guiding to acquire healthy lifestyle behaviours.

Kolorektal kanserli hasta yakınlarının kolorektal kanserden korunmaya yönelik tutumları ve sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları

Abstract

Amaç: Araştırma, kolorektal
kanserli (KRK) hasta yakınlarının KRK’den korunmaya yönelik tutumlarını ve
sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarını belirlemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı
olarak yapılmıştır.

 

Materyal
ve Metod: Çalışma
Haziran 2015-Haziran 2016 tarihleri arasında Erciyes Üniversitesi Sağlık
Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi genel cerrahi servisinde KRK cerrahisi geçiren 86
hastanın 142 yakını ile tamamlanmıştır. Veriler hasta tanıtım formu, kolorektal
kanser taraması tutum inanç ölçeği (KKTTİ) ve sağlıklı yaşam biçimi
davranışları II ölçeği (SYBD) kullanılarak, araştırmacı tarafından 
toplanmıştır.

 

Bulgular: Hasta yakınlarının
yarısından fazlasının (%56.3) KRK hakkında bilgi sahibi olmadığı ve %85.2’sinin
KRK erken tanı/tarama programlarına katılmadığı belirlenmiştir. Hasta
yakınlarının KKTTİ ölçeği toplam puan ortalamasının 53.06±8.91, SYBD ölçeği toplam puan
ortalamasının ise 132.46±20.96 olduğu tespit edilmiştir. KRK ile ilgili bilgi
sahibi olan ve KRK erken tanı ve tarama programlarına katılan hasta
yakınlarının hem KKTTİ ölçeği hem de SYBD ölçeği puan ortalamaları daha yüksek
olup, aradaki farkın ileri derecede anlamlı olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0.001). Araştırmada hasta
yakınlarının SYBD ölçeği ile KKTTİ ölçeği arasında pozitif yönlü, zayıf
düzeyde, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir (p<0.01).

 

Tartışma: Çalışmamızda hasta
yakınlarının KRK taramalarına katılma oranlarının düşük, KRK’den korunmaya
yönelik tutumlarının ve sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarının ise orta düzeyde
olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hemşireler kanserli hastaların birinci derece yakınları
başta olmak üzere risk altındaki tüm bireylerde kanserden korunma ve erken
tanı/tarama programları ile ilgili farkındalık geliştirmeli ve sağlıklı yaşam
biçimi davranışı kazanmalarında yol gösterici olmalıdır.
