This study describes variables that predicted participation in fecal occult blood screening. Orem's theory provides the conceptual basis for this descriptive research study. As part of the research, the American Cancer Society's (ACS) colorectal cancer educational program was given to 171 participants of a congregate meal program. Forty-seven percent of the respondents submitted specimens for occult blood testing. Female gender was the only demographic variable found to predict participation in the fecal occult blood screening. The ability to use the telephone, shop for groceries or clothes, and clean house were associated with submission of a fecal specimen. Respondents who assessed their eyesight and hearing as good did not differ from other respondents in regard to submitting fecal specimens. Implications for health education, early detection, and oncology and gerontological nursing are identified.
本研究描述了预测粪便潜血筛查参与情况的变量。奥瑞姆理论为这项描述性研究提供了概念基础。作为研究的一部分，美国癌症协会（ACS）的结直肠癌教育项目面向171名参加集体用餐项目的参与者开展。47%的受访者提交了潜血检测标本。女性是唯一被发现可预测粪便潜血筛查参与情况的人口统计学变量。使用电话、购买食品杂货或衣物以及打扫房屋的能力与粪便标本的提交有关。自认为视力和听力良好的受访者在提交粪便标本方面与其他受访者并无差异。本研究还明确了对健康教育、早期检测以及肿瘤学和老年护理的启示。
