Özet:

 Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate family physician FP practice in terms of CRC screening and recommendations for increasing participation in screening programs. Methods: The population in this descriptive study, conducted between 15 June and 15 July, 2019, consisted of 325 78.9 FPs working in Samsun, Turkey and consenting to participate. A questionnaire prepared by the authors based on the relevant literature was applied at face-to-face interviews. Results: The mean age of the FPs was 44.60.4 years, and their mean time in service was 19.70.54 years. The most common suggestions were having a dedicated member of staff of cancer screenings in family health centers, public education, and reducing the numbers of patients registered with FPs. FPs most frequently thought that public education, health education on the social media and TV, and reminders issued to patients might be effective in increasing CRC screening. The methods they regarded as having the least effect were pamphlets, reminder leaflets, and informative texts in newspapers. Conclusions: Screening programs should be carried out in a multidisciplinary manner, including not only physicians but also other health professionals such as health educators, with a team-based approach.
