Effect of Health Literacy on Attitudes Toward Cancer Screening Among Individuals Aged 30-70.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the variables affecting the health literacy level and attitude towards cancer screening in individuals between the ages of 30 and 70 and to determine the effect of health literacy level on the attitude towards cancer screening.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 800 participants. Data were collected through self-reporting using the Personal Characteristics Information Form, the Turkish Health Literacy Scale, and the Attitude Scale for Cancer Screening.
Results: The study revealed that scores on the Attitude Scale for Cancer Screening varied significantly based on age, educational level, income status, presence of health insurance, history of cancer screening (p < 0.001), confirmed cancer diagnosis, gender (p = 0.001), and presence of chronic illness (p = 0.005). Similarly, Turkish Health Literacy Scale scores differed significantly according to age, marital status, place of residence, educational level, income, chronic illness status (p < 0.001), and gender (p = 0.002). Furthermore, the Turkish Health Literacy Scale score was identified as a significant predictor of the Attitude Scale for Cancer Screening score. (β = 0.423, p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Higher health literacy was associated with a positive attitude towards cancer screening. Nurses can contribute to the development of a positive attitude towards cancer screening in society through counseling and training initiatives to increase health literacy.
