“…Wang et al study also showed students had sufficient knowledge about dietary factors that influence CRC. 13 Another study conducted in a primary care setting for general public by the Muscat governorate found that most of them were not aware of heathy eating habits as being protective against CRC. 14 The current incidence of CRC is high in Oman, and is increasing every year both here and in the other Gulf Cooperation Council countries.…”

Objective: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the top ranked cancers in Oman and the incidences of CRC have been dramatically increasing in recent times. The aim of the study was to assess the level of knowledge of CRC and to understand the level of awareness on CRC screening methods among undergraduate medical students.Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Oman among the undergraduate medical students. The study was a survey based on a questionnaire consisting of 27 items that addressed general risk factors, dietary risk factors, signs and symptoms, screening, and prognostic factors of CRC. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 22.Results: A total of three hundred and eighty-two (n=382) students from the premedical (45, 11.8%), preclinical (249, 65.2%) and clinical (88, 23.0%) years participated in the survey. In all the five categories, general risk factors, dietary risk factors, signs and symptoms, screening and prognostic factors, the clinical students had better knowledge and awareness compared to the lower academic year students. Conclusion: There was low level of awareness among the premedical students, and had shown increased level of awareness in subsequent academic years. Undergraduate teachings should focus more on factual knowledge, skills, and screening for colon cancer. Students need to actively participate in public awareness about CRC through community programs in order to boost their knowledge. These initiatives by students can bring about changes in society as well.

“…People more prone to develop CRC should be screened at a younger age and more frequently. The decision to perform a screening test in individuals aged >75 years is based on the patient's own decision (Bidouei et al 2014;Mansour-Ghanaei et al 2015). The early detection of CRC reduces mortality.…”

“…The early detection of CRC reduces mortality. Although periodic screening with Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT), sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy has been suggested for the early detection of CRC, the screening rate is extremely low (Mansour-Ghanaei et al 2015;DeSantis et al 2019).…”

Background: Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is a serious health problem, and its early detection is crucial for treatment and reducing mortality. Beliefs related to colorectal cancer are an affecting factor in a person's decision about the CRC Program. The current study aimed at assessing the knowledge, attitude, and practice of healthcare providers regarding colorectal cancer screening based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) in Hamedan City, Iran, in 2018.Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. A total of 330 healthcare workers employed in comprehensive centers of urban and rural services in Hamedan were recruited by the census method. The required data were collected by demographic characteristics form and HBM scale of CRC. To analyze the obtained data, frequency, mean, standard deviation, Independent Samples t-test, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), linear regression, and logistic regression analyses were used in SPSS. Results:The achieved results suggested that the mean knowledge score of the study subjects was 10.19; it was higher than that of 7.5 in the structure of HBM. The mean score of perceived sensitivity, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and perceived self-efficacy was higher than that of the perceived tool, and the barriers were less. Test performance was satisfactory in people aged >50 years (68.2%), and more than 90% of individuals recommended screening to their clients. They received the most information during training sessions. Conclusion:Although the level of knowledge of CRC was higher than the average, more education is required for people to receive regarding HBM. On-job training classes should be more precise. Furthermore, considering the favorable performance of the sample, integrating the CRC screening program into the healthcare program has provided desirable results and could be a starting point for other programs.

“…Em 2013, foram realizadas 2379 entrevistas em cinco cidades malaias, com auxílio do questionário BCAM, quando observaram-se que as médias de sintomas recordados e reconhecidos foram baixas (0,5% e 3,4%, respectivamente) (Loh et al, 2013). Os mesmos achados foram observados em estudos subsequentes (Chong et al, 2015;Mansour-Ghanaei et al, 2015;Taha et al, 2015;Zubaidi et al, 2015).…”
