Abstract

Objectives: For the last three decades, although colorectal cancer incidence has been decreasing in those over 50 years of age, it has been increasing in those under 50 included in the pre-screening group (PSG). The present study aims to explain the screening-related factors and compliance of individuals in PSG who are not included in the colorectal cancer screening programme.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with a total of 323 participants, 143 of whom were from the pre-screening group (40-49 years), and 180 from the screening included group (SIG) (50-70 years).

Results: Individuals included in PSG were more likely to have accepted that both faecal occult blood test (FOBT) (2.23 ± 1.22 vs. 1.89 ± 1.33, p = 0.018) and colonoscopy (2.37 ± 0.97 vs. 2.02 ± 1.14, p = 0.003) were useful and suitable screening tests in colorectal cancer. Adequate health literacy (OR = 4.3, 95% CI: 1.8-10.0, p = 0.001) and better education level (OR = 3.3, 95% CI: 1.3-8.4, p = 0.010) were factors of increased knowledge of colorectal cancer screening.

Conclusions: The findings show that PSG has different characteristics than SIG and may be more fitting in the colorectal cancer screening programme if included.

结直肠癌筛查:了解预筛查人群的需求。

目的:在过去的三十年中，虽然结直肠癌的发病率在50岁以上的人群中有所下降，但在预筛查组(PSG)中50岁以下的人群中却有所增加。本研究旨在解释未纳入结直肠癌筛查计划的PSG患者的筛查相关因素和依从性。方法:本横断面研究共纳入323名参与者，其中143人来自预筛查组(40-49岁)，180人来自筛查纳入组(SIG)(50-70岁)。结果:纳入PSG的个体更有可能接受粪便隐血试验(FOBT)(2.23±1.22 vs. 1.89±1.33,p = 0.018)和结肠镜检查(2.37±0.97 vs. 2.02±1.14,p = 0.003)是有用和合适的结直肠癌筛查试验。适当的健康素养(OR = 4.3, 95% CI: 1.8-10.0, p = 0.001)和较高的教育水平(OR = 3.3, 95% CI: 1.3-8.4, p = 0.010)是提高结直肠癌筛查知识的因素。结论:研究结果表明PSG与SIG具有不同的特征，如果包括在内，可能更适合结肠直肠癌筛查计划。
