This study aims to evaluate Turkish and Polish female university students' awareness of breast and cervical cancers. The study was conducted in Turkey and Poland with 350 female students.
This descriptive and cross-sectional study's data were collected using Self-Administered Form questioning students' sociodemographic characteristics and awareness of breast and cervical cancer. Data were analysed using SPSS version 16.0 for Windows with number, percentage, and chi square test.
According to the findings, a significant difference was found between Turkish and Polish students on knowing and applying Breast Self-Exam (BSE) (p<0.05). No difference was found between the two student groups on considering mammography as required. 81.1% of Turkish and 68.1% of Polish students considered Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) as required; the difference was significant. A significantly higher number of Turkish students knew high-fat diet, overweight, first childbirth at advanced ages, and not having given birth as risk factors, while a higher number of Polish students knew using oral contraceptive as risk factor for breast cancer. A significantly higher number of Turkish students knew cancer history in family, Human Papilloma Virus, smoking, immunodeficiency, overweight, three or more full-term pregnancies, the first pregnancy at advanced ages, and poverty as risk factors for cervical cancer. A greater number of Polish students only knew using oral contraceptive as a risk factor; the difference was not statistically significant.
Results of this study showed that breast and cervix cancer awareness is similar among university students in both countries.
本研究旨在评估土耳其和波兰女大学生对乳腺癌和宫颈癌的认知情况。该研究在土耳其和波兰对350名女学生进行。
本描述性横断面研究通过自行填写表格收集数据，询问学生的社会人口学特征以及对乳腺癌和宫颈癌的认知情况。使用SPSS 16.0 for Windows软件对数据进行分析，采用频数、百分比和卡方检验。
根据研究结果，土耳其和波兰学生在知晓并应用乳房自我检查（BSE）方面存在显著差异（p<0.05）。在按要求进行乳房X光检查方面，两组学生之间未发现差异。81.1%的土耳其学生和68.1%的波兰学生按要求进行临床乳房检查（CBE）；差异具有统计学意义。显著更多的土耳其学生知晓高脂肪饮食、超重、高龄初产和未生育是危险因素，而更多的波兰学生知晓使用口服避孕药是乳腺癌的危险因素。显著更多的土耳其学生知晓家族癌症病史、人乳头瘤病毒、吸烟、免疫缺陷、超重、三次或更多次足月妊娠、高龄首次妊娠和贫困是宫颈癌的危险因素。更多的波兰学生仅知晓使用口服避孕药是危险因素；差异无统计学意义。
本研究结果表明，两国大学生对乳腺癌和宫颈癌的认知情况相似。
