This paper reports results of a survey of 500 health care workers in a private New York City Hospital that assessed knowledge and behaviors in the areas of smoking and cancer, diet and cancer, and breast and cervical cancer screening. Given the small number of knowledge items, the results indicated good knowledge concerning diet and cancer, smoking and cancer, and mammography and Pap test guidelines. Conformity with American Cancer Society guidelines for Pap testing was comparable to national figures, but with women over 50 as likely to obtain Pap smears as younger women. Conformity with mammography guidelines was excellent, although compliance with breast self-examination recommendations was low (25.4%). Of female employees over age 50, 87.4% had ever had mammography and 77.6% reported yearly mammography. Only 19% of the respondents admitted to current smoking. Although methodologic differences made comparison of knowledge of diet and cancer with the work of others difficult, knowledge of the risks of smoking was comparable to levels found in other studies.
本文报告了对纽约市一家私立医院500名医护人员的调查结果，该调查评估了他们在吸烟与癌症、饮食与癌症以及乳腺癌和宫颈癌筛查方面的知识和行为。鉴于知识项目数量较少，结果显示他们在饮食与癌症、吸烟与癌症以及乳房X线摄影和巴氏试验指南方面有良好的知识水平。与美国癌症协会巴氏试验指南的符合率与全国数据相当，但50岁以上女性进行巴氏涂片检查的可能性与年轻女性相当。乳房X线摄影指南的符合情况极佳，不过乳房自我检查建议的依从性较低（25.4%）。50岁以上的女性员工中，87.4%曾进行过乳房X线摄影，77.6%报告每年进行乳房X线摄影。只有19%的受访者承认目前吸烟。尽管方法上的差异使得将饮食与癌症方面的知识与其他研究成果进行比较变得困难，但吸烟风险方面的知识与其他研究中发现的水平相当。
