ÖZET Amaç: Bu çalışmada, 50-70 yaş grubundaki erkeklerin kanserin risk faktörleri, belirtileri ve erken tanısına yönelik farkındalıklarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışmanın örneklemini 50-70 yaş arası 327 erkek oluşturmuştur. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılanların yaş ortalaması 59,59 ± 5,63 olup, %31,5’i ilkokul mezunu, %70’i çalışmıyor, %86,9’u evli olup, %45’i sigara, %23,5’i ise alkol kullanmaktadır. Katılımcıların %4,3’ünün kendisi, %39,8’inin ise çevresindeki biri kanser tanısı almıştır. Katılımcıların en fazla bildikleri kanser risk faktörleri sigara içme (%93), kimyasallar (%89) ve radyasyon (%88,1) iken, kanser belirtilerinden ise meme veya başka yerde sertlik olması (%82,6) ise en fazla bilinmekteydi. Katılımcıların %6,7’si ülkemizde hangi kanser türlerinin tarama programı olduğunu bilmediğini belirtirken, %92’si meme kanserine yönelik tarama programı olduğunu bilmiştir. Katılımcıların sadece %16,5’i daha önce gaitada gizli kan testi yaptırdığını belirtmiştir. Katılımcıların medeni durumu, çalışma durumu, sigara kullanımı ve daha önce kanser tanısı alma durumlarına göre, kanser taraması yaptırma arasında anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p < 0,05). Sonuç: Bu çalışma sonucunda, erkeklerin kanser risk faktörlerine ve belirtilerine ilişkin bilgi eksikliklerinin olduğu ve tarama programına yeterince katılmadığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda erkeklerin kansere ilişkin bilgi düzeyini artırmaya yönelik toplum temelli çalışmaların yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Belirti Erkek Erken Tanı Kanser Risk Faktörleri ABSTRACT Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the awareness of 50-70 years old men about risk factors, symptoms and early diagnosis of cancer. Material and Methods: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 327 men aged 50-70. Results: The average age of the participants in the study is 59.59 ± 5.63, 31.5% are primary school graduates, 70% do not work, 86.9% are married, 45% use cigarettes and 23.5% use alcohol. 4.3% of the participants themselves and 39.8% of the participants were diagnosed with cancer. Participants are the cancer risk factors that they know the most While smoking (93%), chemicals (89%) and radiation (88.1%) were the most common symptoms of cancer, hardness in the breast or elsewhere (82.6%). While 6.7% of the participants stated that they do not know which cancer types have screening programs in our country, 92% of them knew that there is a screening program for breast cancer. Only 16.5% of the participants stated that they had undergone a secret blood test in stool. There was a significant difference between the participants' marital status, employment status, smoking and having cancer diagnoses before (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result of this study, it was revealed that men had insufficient information about cancer risk factors and symptoms and did not participate in screening programs sufficiently. In line with these results, it is thought that community-based studies to increase the knowledge level of men about cancer will be beneficial.

This study aims to identify the risk factors, symptoms and awareness of early diagnosis of cancer in men aged 50-70 years. Tools and Methods: 327 men between the ages of 50 and 70 have made the sample of this study of the characteristic type. Results: The average age of the study participants is 59,59 ± 5,63, 31.5 percent are primary school graduates, 70 percent are unemployed, 86.9 percent are married, 45 percent smoke and 23.5 percent are alcoholic. 4.3 percent of participants were diagnosed with cancer and 39.8 percent were diagnosed with cancer. The most known cancer risk factors were smoking (93%), chemicals (89%), and radiation (88.1%), while the most known cancer symptoms were breast hardness (82.6%). 6.7 percent of participants said they don’t know which types of cancer in our country are a screening program, while 92% said they were a screening program for breast cancer. Only 16.5 percent of participants said they had previously done a secret blood test. Depending on the participant’s civil status, working status, smoking and previous diagnosis of cancer, there was a significant difference between doing a cancer screening (p < 0.05). The result: This study found that men had lack of information about cancer risk factors and symptoms and did not participate sufficiently in the screening program. According to these findings, it is believed that community-based studies aimed at increasing the level of knowledge of men about cancer will be beneficial. In this study, it was aimed to determine the awareness of 50-70 years old men about risk factors, symptoms and early diagnosis of cancer.
