“…In our study, the rate of benefiting from primary health care services in elderly patients was 58.7%. Although there is not enough research on this subject in our country, Çelik et al found the rate of regular primary health care service in the family health center as 28.4%; however, we think that the rate is lower in patients aged 65 and over, since patients receiving regular health care services were not categorized according to age groups in this study [11]. In another study from our country, the rate of application to family health centers in the population aged 65 and over was found to be high.…”

Following these meetings for field staff, the changes in preventive health services (number of screenings) at the district level were analyzed. All data were analyzed retrospectively from district health directorate records. Results: For cervical cancer screening, the total number of screenings in Sultanbeyli district in January-February and March-April were 144 and 235, respectively. For colon cancer, the total number of screenings in January-February and March-April were 54 and 277, respectively. The total number of autism screenings in January-February and March-April were 565 and 1388, respectively.

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the approaches of women between 30-65 years regarding having cervical cancer screening tests and to determine the obstacles against screening. Methods: In this study, a total of 313 participants aged 30-65 years who were registered to the Family Medicine Unit No:8 of Akyurt, Ankara province, were interviewed in June 2018. A questionnaire in which socio-demographic data was collected and participants' level of knowledge about cervical cancer screening was evaluated, is conducted. After determining the level of knowledge of the participants, standard information were given about cervical cancer screening. After informing, the participants were invited to the Family Health Center (FHC) for screening purposes and the reasons for rejection of those whore fused to take the screening were noted. All analyzes were performed using SPSS program. Results: There were 511 women in the 30-65 age range, registered to the unit. Questionnaire was not applied to 71 women who had previously been tested for HPV DNA in the system. The meanage of the 313 women eligible to participate in the survey was 44.8±10.2. The majority of the participants (66.1%) were primary school graduates. Of 313 participants, 64.2% knew that screening was performed at FHC. While 70.3% people agreed to have the screening, 29.7% denied. When there asons for denial were asked, it was learned that 52.6% were afraid of gynecological examination, 35.4% were already followed by gynecologists and obstetricians and did not want to perform the screening in a FHC and 11.8 found cervical cancer screening unnecessary. Conclusion: The rate of women who had cervical cancer screening before the study was found to be very low, and after the necessary information was given, the rate of those who wanted to have the test at FHC increased. In addition, we think that when Gynecology and Obstetrics Policlinics and Family Health Center work integratedly, cancer screening rates will rise.
