We explored longitudinal associations between religion/spirituality (R/S) Salience and R/S Attendance, and colorectal cancer screening, among adults aged ≥ 50 years in Alberta, Canada. R/S Salience was not statistically significantly associated with colorectal cancer screening (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.88-1.28). Conversely, R/S Attendance was statistically significantly associated with higher odds of colorectal cancer screening: the aOR was 1.28 (95% CI 1.02-1.59) for participants attending services at least once a month and 1.31 (95% CI 1.01-1.69) for participants attending between one and four times yearly, compared to participants who never attended. Researchers should explore the possibility of delivering colorectal cancer screening programs in R/S settings.
我们在加拿大艾伯塔省年龄≥50岁的成年人中,探讨了宗教/精神信仰(R/S)显著性和R/S参与度与结直肠癌筛查之间的纵向关联。R/S显著性与结直肠癌筛查无统计学显著关联(调整优势比[aOR]:1.06,95%置信区间[CI] 0.88 - 1.28)。相反,R/S参与度与结直肠癌筛查几率较高有统计学显著关联:与从未参加过的参与者相比,每月至少参加一次宗教活动的参与者的aOR为1.28(95% CI 1.02 - 1.59),每年参加1至4次宗教活动的参与者的aOR为1.31(95% CI 1.01 - 1.69)。研究人员应探索在宗教/精神信仰环境中开展结直肠癌筛查项目的可能性。
