Abstract

Background and Purpose: This study aimed to determine the awareness of healthy individuals about the attributable risk factors of cancer and the reliability of their ideas. Methods: A review of relevant literature was undertaken to assemble a list of possible causes of cancer. Seventy-six healthy individuals were interviewed. Individuals were asked to declare their opinion by scoring the potential 15 cancer risk factors between 0-4. One week later, the opinions were retaken to test reliability. Results: According to the participants, smoking (94.8%) and mobile phone use (79%) had perfect consensus; being overweight (63.1%) and having a family history of cancer (92.1%) had substantial consensus; alcohol (90.8%), stress (93.5%), sunlight exposure (69.77%), plastic (84.2%), infection (57.9%), occupational exposure (67.1%), fatigue (54%), nuclear accident (96%) had moderate consensus. Air pollution (86.8%) and washing agents (77.7%) had fair consensus. Age (34.2%) was not a risk factor for cancer. All risk factors were reliable between the two assessments except age (p

健康个体对癌症归因危险因素的认识

背景与目的:本研究旨在确定健康个体对癌症归因危险因素的认知程度及其认知的可靠性。方法:回顾相关文献，整理出可能导致癌症的一系列原因。对76名健康个体进行了访谈。个人被要求通过在0-4之间对15个潜在的癌症风险因素打分来表达他们的观点。一周后，这些意见被重新收集以测试信度。结果:受访者对吸烟(94.8%)和使用手机(79%)有完全一致的看法;超重(63.1%)和有癌症家族史(92.1%)的人基本一致;酒精(90.8%)、压力(93.5%)、阳光暴晒(69.77%)、塑料(84.2%)、感染(57.9%)、职业暴晒(67.1%)、疲劳(54%)、核事故(96%)有中等程度的共识。空气污染(86.8%)和清洗剂(77.7%)有比较好的共识。年龄(34.2%)不是癌症的危险因素。除年龄外，两种评估的所有危险因素均可靠(p
