Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in humans. It is the third most frequently diagnosed malignant neoplasm and is the second highest cause of cancer mortality in the world. Every year, more and more people die of colorectal cancer because the diagnosis is conducted too late. This shows how important a role screening tests and the awareness of the population about the symptoms play in this aspect. This article aimed to determine the knowledge of the Polish population about morbidity, symptoms, prevention, and subjective feelings about the level of availability of knowledge about colorectal cancer.
In 2020, a study was conducted using an online questionnaire assessing the awareness of the Polish population about colorectal cancer. A self-authored questionnaire including questions about socio-demographic characteristics, and 18 questions related to substantive issues, was used. A research group was selected ( = 633). The substantive part of the questionnaire included questions examining the respondents' knowledge about morbidity, symptoms, prevention, and subjective feelings about the level of availability of knowledge about colorectal cancer.
The respondents' awareness level was influenced by demographic factors, such as gender: ( < 0.05) and age ( < 0.05) and social factors, such as: level of education ( < 0.05) or professional situation ( < 0.05). Compared to thematic articles from other countries, the research group was divided into smaller subgroups due to the abovementioned factors, due to which it was possible to stratify and analyze the significance of differences between them.
结直肠癌是人类最常见的癌症之一。它是第三大常见恶性肿瘤，也是世界上癌症死亡率第二高的癌症。每年，越来越多的人死于结直肠癌，因为诊断太晚。这表明筛查测试和人们对症状的认识在这方面起着多么重要的作用。本文旨在确定波兰人群对结直肠癌发病率、症状、预防措施以及对结直肠癌知识可及性的主观感受的了解程度。
2020 年，使用在线问卷对波兰人群对结直肠癌的认识进行了一项研究。使用了一份自编的问卷，其中包括社会人口统计学特征的问题和 18 个与实质性问题相关的问题。选择了一个研究小组（n=633）。问卷的实质性部分包括检查受访者对发病率、症状、预防措施以及对结直肠癌知识可及性的主观感受的知识的问题。
受访者的意识水平受到人口统计学因素的影响，例如性别（<0.05）和年龄（<0.05）以及社会因素，例如：教育程度（<0.05）或职业状况（<0.05）。与来自其他国家的专题文章相比，由于上述因素，研究小组被分为更小的亚组，因此可以对它们进行分层和分析差异的显著性。
