Özet:

 Objective: The aim of the study was to assess attitudes and behaviors related to cancer screening using an attitude scale for cancer screening among individuals aged 30-70 with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This prospective case-control study was conducted from March to May 2023 at a single center. A total of 197 participants, including 67 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 130 participants without type 2 diabetes mellitus aged 30-70, were enrolled using simple random sampling. For the assessment, a sociodemographic form prepared through a literature review and the attitude scale for cancer screening were used. A statistical significance level of p0.05 was considered. Results: The study participants had an average age of 49.6512.49 years. The attitude scale for cancer screening scores did not show a statistically significant difference between individuals with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus z1.485,p0.138. Furthermore, the statistical analysis did not identify a significant difference with the total score of the attitude scale for cancer screenings among other variables. Positive correlation was found between the attitude scale for cancer screening total score and age rho 0.206, p0.004. Conclusion: In our study, statistically significant differences in attitudes and behaviors towards cancer screenings were not observed between individuals with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, it is essential to be attentive to the elevated risk of cancer in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Therefore, increasing awareness and screening rates for cancer in this group is crucial.

 Amaç: Çalışmada tip 2 diyabeti olan ve olmayan 30-70 yaş arası kişiler arasında kanser taramalarına yönelik tutum ölçeği kullanarak kanser taramalarına yönelik tutum ve davranışların değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Prospektif vaka-kontrol tipte çalışma, Mart-Mayıs 2023 tarihleri arasında tek bir merkezde gerçekleştirilmiştir. 30-70 yaş aralığında tip 2 diyabet mellitusu olan 67 hasta ve tip 2 diyabet mellitusu olmayan 130 katılımcı olmak üzere toplamda 197 katılımcı, basit rasgele örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilmiştir. Değerlendirmenin yapılması amacıyla, literatür taraması yoluyla hazırlanan sosyodemografik form ve kanser taramalarına yönelik tutum ölçeği kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p0.05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin yaş ortalaması 49.6512.49 yıl olarak elde edilmiştir. Tip 2 diyabetes mellitus tanısı olan ve olmayan kişiler arasında kanser taramalarına yönelik tutum ölçeği puanları açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark yoktur z1.485, p0.138. Diğer değişkenlerin kanser taramalarına yönelik tutum ölçeği toplam puanıyla istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark tespit edilmemiştir. Kanser taramalarına yönelik tutum ölçeği toplam puanı ile yaş arasında pozitif yönlü istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmaktadır rho 0.206, p0.004. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, tip 2 diyabet mellitusu olan ve olmayan bireyler arasında kanser taramalarına yönelik tutum ve davranışlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark tespit edilmemiştir. Ancak, tip 2 diyabet mellitus hastalarında kanser riskinin yüksekliğine dikkat etmek gereklidir. Bu nedenle, bu grupta kanser taramalarına yönelik farkındalığı artırmak ve tarama oranlarını yükseltmek önemlidir.
