Bireylerin Kolorektal Kanser Tarama Davranışları ve Sağlık Okuryazarlık Düzeyi Arasındaki İlişkinin Belirlenmesi
Abstract
Amaç: Bireylerin kolorektal kanser tarama davranışları ile sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Yöntem: Çalışma, tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel bir tasarıma sahipti. 332 kişiyi kapsıyordu. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında Tanımlayıcı Özellikler Formu, Kolorektal Kanser Tarama Davranışları Formu ve Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Bireylerin %30,7'sinin kolorektal kanser tarama testi yaptırdığı ve kolorektal kanser tarama testleri hakkında bilgisi olan bireylerin tarama testi yaptırma olasılığının daha yüksek olduğu saptandı. Bireylerin Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği puanı 81,88±23,64 olup, kolorektal kanser tarama testi yaptırmış olma ile sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır.
Sonuç: Kolorektal kanser tarama testini bilme ve yaptırma oranı yetersizdi, katılımcıların sağlık okuryazarlığı orta/sınırlı düzeydeydi ve kolorektal kanser tarama testi yaptırma ile sağlık okuryazarlığı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki yoktu.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Kolorektal kanser; sağlık okuryazarlığı; tarama

Determination of The Relationship Between Colorectal Cancer Screening Behaviors and Health Literacy Levels of Individuals
Abstract
Purpose: To determine the relationship between colorectal cancer screening behaviors and health literacy levels of individuals.
Methods: The study had a descriptive and cross-sectional design. It included 332 individuals. The Descriptive Characteristics Form, Colorectal Cancer Screening Behaviors Form, and Health Literacy Scale were used to collect the study data.
Results:It was found that 30.7% had undergone colorectal cancer screening tests and ndividuals with knowledge about colorectal cancer screening tests were more likely to have a screening test. Health Literacy Scale score of individuals was 81.88±23.64, and there was no significant relationship between having a colorectal cancer screening test and the level of health literacy.
Conclusions: The rate of knowing and undergoing colorectal cancer screening test for was insufficient, participants had a moderate/limited level of health literacy and there was no significant relationship between having a colorectal cancer screening test and health literacy.
Keywords: Colorectal cancer, health literacy, screening tests
