BACKGROUND
Studies have shown limited awareness about cancer risk factors among hospital-based staff. Less is known about general cancer awareness among community frontline National Health Service and social care staff.
METHODS
A cross-sectional computer-assisted telephone survey of 4664 frontline community-based health and social care staff in North West England.
RESULTS
A total of 671 out of 4664 (14.4%) potentially eligible subjects agreed to take part. Over 92% of staff recognised most warning signs, except an unexplained pain (88.8%, n=596), cough or hoarseness (86.9%, n=583) and a sore that does not heal (77.3%, n=519). The bowel cancer-screening programme was recognised by 61.8% (n=415) of staff. Most staff agreed that smoking and passive smoking 'increased the chance of getting cancer.' Fewer agreed about getting sunburnt more than once as a child (78.0%, n=523), being overweight (73.5%, n=493), drinking more than one unit of alcohol per day (50.2%, n=337) or doing less than 30 min of moderate physical exercise five times a week (41.1%, n=276).
CONCLUSION
Cancer awareness is generally good among frontline staff, but important gaps exist, which might be improved by targeted education and training and through developing clearer messages about cancer risk factors.
背景
研究表明，医院工作人员对癌症风险因素的认识有限。关于社区一线国民保健制度和社会护理工作人员的一般癌症意识，了解较少。
方法
对英格兰西北部 4664 名一线社区卫生和社会护理工作人员进行了横断面计算机辅助电话调查。
结果
在 4664 名潜在合格的受试者中，共有 671 名（14.4%）同意参加。超过 92%的工作人员认识到大多数警告信号，除了不明原因的疼痛（88.8%，n=596）、咳嗽或声音嘶哑（86.9%，n=583）和不愈合的疮（77.3%，n=519）。肠癌筛查计划被 61.8%（n=415）的工作人员所认识。大多数工作人员认为吸烟和被动吸烟“增加了患癌症的机会。”较少的人同意儿童时期晒伤超过一次（78.0%，n=523）、超重（73.5%，n=493）、每天饮酒超过 1 单位（50.2%，n=337）或每周少于 30 分钟的适度体育锻炼五次（41.1%，n=276）。
结论
一线工作人员的癌症意识总体良好，但存在重要差距，通过有针对性的教育和培训，并制定关于癌症风险因素的更明确信息，这些差距可能会得到改善。
