The objective of this research was to become aquainted with patients' knowledge of the calcium role in the primary prevention of colorectal cancer.
A group of 400 patients treated in Nikolay Pirogov Provincial Specialist Hospital in Łódź was interviewed by means of the author's own survey in which specific tools were used to become aquainted with patients' knowledge of the calcium role in the primary prevention of colorectal cancer. The necessary statistics were conducted by means of STATISTICA 7.1 and EXCEL 2008 programmes.
The analysis of the results shows that 363 (90.7%) of respondents did not know about the protective role of calcium in the digestive tract and reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. The study shows that 396 (99.0%) of respondents were not informed by doctors about the protective effect of calcium in the digestive tract. In this survey 357 (89.25%) of respondents did not know what is the recommended daily intake of calcium in the diet.
The results of the study shows that patients do not know about the role of calcium in primary prevention of colorectal cancer and were not informed by their doctors about such action of calcium. Patients were not aware of the need to consume the Recommended Dietary Allowance of calcium in the diet, which shows little knowledge of the subjects on the diet. It seems necessary to change the eating habits of patients, while the introduction of nutrition education from an early age in the society. Such actions may prevent in the future many civilization diseases.
本研究的目的是了解患者对钙在结直肠癌一级预防中作用的认识。
通过作者自行设计的调查问卷，对在罗兹的尼古拉·皮罗戈夫省级专科医院接受治疗的400名患者进行了访谈，该问卷使用了特定工具来了解患者对钙在结直肠癌一级预防中作用的认识。必要的统计分析借助STATISTICA 7.1和EXCEL 2008软件进行。
结果分析显示，363名（90.7%）受访者不知道钙在消化道中的保护作用以及降低患结直肠癌风险的作用。研究表明，396名（99.0%）受访者未从医生那里得知钙在消化道中的保护作用。在本次调查中，357名（89.25%）受访者不知道饮食中钙的推荐每日摄入量是多少。
研究结果表明，患者不知道钙在结直肠癌一级预防中的作用，医生也未告知他们钙的这种作用。患者未意识到在饮食中需要摄入推荐膳食钙量，这表明他们对饮食方面的知识了解甚少。改变患者的饮食习惯似乎很有必要，同时应在社会中从小就开展营养教育。此类举措未来可能预防许多文明病。
