“…While having knowledge about the subject is stated to be one of the factors affecting the participation in CRC screening programs [28], a statistically significant difference was found in the present study between the status of having knowledge about CRC and CCSABS total mean score and the mean scores of almost all subscales, which was compatible with the literature. In McCaffery et al 's study, they report that there was a significant difference between knowledge and participation in CRC screenings and being willing to the participation; whereas, the individuals with low level of knowledge were not willing to participate in screenings and displayed negative attitudes [21].…”

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. Conclusion: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. ÖZ Amaç: Araştırma, kolorektal kanserli (KRK) hasta yakınlarının KRK'den korunmaya yönelik tutumlarını ve sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarını belirlemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı olarak yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: 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). Sonuç: Çalışmamızda hasta yakınlarının KRK taramalarına katılma oranlarının düşük, KRK'den korunmaya yönelik tutumlarının ve sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarının ise orta düzeyd...

“…This could be because men are aware that lifestyle risk factors are more strongly associated with cancer in men than in women [34], or more likely reflects men's tendency to believe that cancer risk is modifiable [35].

Background: Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer in Saudi Arabia. Early screening for this disease increases the chances of successful treatment and survival. So, this study aimed to assess the level of the public awareness of risk factors and screening for colorectal cancer among Saudi Arabia population 2016, Saudi Arabia. Methods: Across-sectional study was conducted through Saudi population from all regions, including (4977) participants, of both genders and various ages. The questionnaire was answered electronically. The questionnaire consists of five main parts of questions. The first part includes demographic questions. The second part includes questions related to the awareness about the symptoms and risk factor of colorectal cancer. The third part includes questions related to the awareness of early screening for colorectal cancer. The fourth part includes questions related to Knowledge and attitude of colorectal cancer early screening. While include questions related to barrier of colorectal cancer early screening. Results: From (4977) participants (2366) males and (2611) females, 75.8% heard about colorectal cancer before. The most symptom reported by respondents "blood with stool" by 29% only. The most risk factor reported by respondents "inflammatory and ulceration of the colon," by 32%. 67% have never heard about early screening for colorectal cancer only 5.2% do early screening for colorectal cancer. The most common known way to detect the disease "Colonoscopy". 47% do not have any reasons preventing them from having the early screening for colorectal cancer. There was a relationship between having early colorectal cancer screening and gender, age, educational level, and monthly income (P-value < 0.05). But there was a relationship between having early colorectal cancer screening and region or living place (P-value > 0.05). Conclusion:There was a low level of awareness about the symptoms and risk factor of colorectal cancer. Also, there was poor public awareness, knowledge and attitude towards colorectal cancer early screening.

“…17), and Saudi Arabia and South Korea have reported prevalence estimates of endoscopy use among the average-risk population for colorectal cancer. Except for South Korea, utilization rates are extremely low and reflect the lack of colorectal cancer screening implementation, public health education as well as financial, cultural, religious, and psychological barriers to screening (12,44,55,56). South Korea, although with relatively lower utilization rates than the US and Germany, has seen the steepest increase in colonoscopy use in recent years.…”

Monitoring population-level colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy use is crucial to estimate the future burden of colorectal cancer and guide screening efforts. We conducted a systematic literature search on colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy use, published between November 2016 and December 2018 in the databases PubMed and Web of Science to update previous reviews and analyze time trends for various countries. In addition, we used data from the German and European Health Interview Surveys and the National Health Interview Survey to explore recent time trends for Germany and the US, respectively. The literature search yielded 23 new articles: fourteen from the US and nine from Australia,
