Ailesel meme kanseri öyküsü olan ve olmayan kadınlarda meme kanseri tanılama davranışları

Abstract

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-toface 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. 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.

Factors affecting breast cancer risk level and the prevalence of early diagnosis and screening in a group of Turkish women according to the Gail model

“…Although BSE is easy and free to apply, the application rates in countries are low and vary by country. 5,[29][30][31] According to the results of our study, the majority of women performed BSE regularly, and age, education level, and family history of cancer affected BSE behavior. In a study similar to our study results, it was found that BSE behavior was significantly higher in women who had a family history than those who did not.…”

“…In another similar study, it was reported that the education level of women increased the frequency of BSE and the status of doing it at the right time. 30 In another study, it was determined that lack of education and awareness were among the most common reasons for women not to perform BSE. In the same study, almost half of the women had insufficient knowledge about BSE.…”

An examination of variables associated with breast cancer early detection behaviors of women

“…İnformation points in two studies conducted on the same scale in Turkey were detected to be moderate. [65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81] In other studies in which women's breast cancer knowledge levels were evaluated with different scales, it was stated that their knowledge level was moderate. 34-82-83-84-85-86-87 In two studies conducted on young women in Ethiopia, the breast cancer knowledge level of women was found as low.…”

The Effect of the Nurse Navigation Program Applied to Immigrant Syrian Women on their Beliefs on Breast Cancer Screening Behaviors, Mammography Self-Efficacy, and Breast Cancer Fears: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…Power analysis was performed using the G*Power 3.1 program to calculate sample size. Considering the the Health Belief Model Scale [19], Champion Breast Cancer Fear Scale [20] and Mammography Self-E cacy Scale [21] mean scores, the required sample size was determined as 134 at 95% con dence interval, 5% margin of error, 0.63 effect size, and 95% power. A total of 150 participants (75 participants in the experimental group and 75 participants in the control group) were recruited for the study with approximately 12% (16 people) extra participants, taking a possible data loss into account.…”
