UNASSIGNED: This cross-sectional survey was carried out between 1 and 4 March 2024 in a nationwide sample of 2,165 adults in Poland. Quota sampling was used. Data were collected using computer-assisted web interview (CAWI) method.
UNASSIGNED: Regardless of the type of cancer (kidney, bladder, or prostate cancer), a family history of cancer was the most recognized risk factor indicated by over half of respondents. Over one-third were aware that chemical exposure increases the risk for bladder cancer (39.4%) or prostate cancer (34.2%). Smoking was recognized as a risk factor for kidney cancer by 40.6% of respondents. Female gender, having higher education, being occupationally active and the presence of chronic diseases were the most important factors (p < 0.05) associated with a higher level of awareness of genitourinary cancers risk factors.
UNASSIGNED: This study revealed gaps in public awareness of genitourinary cancers risk factors among adults in Poland, especially lifestyle-related and workplace-related risk factors.
■这项横断面调查于2024年3月1日至4日在波兰的2165名成年人的全国样本中进行。使用配额抽样。使用计算机辅助网络访谈(CAWI)方法收集数据。
■无论癌症的类型如何(肾脏,膀胱,或前列腺癌),超过一半的受访者表示,癌症家族史是最公认的危险因素。超过三分之一的人意识到化学暴露会增加患膀胱癌(39.4%)或前列腺癌(34.2%)的风险。40.6%的受访者认为吸烟是肾癌的危险因素。女性性别,受过高等教育,职业活跃和慢性疾病的存在是最重要的因素(p<0.05)与更高的泌尿生殖系统癌症危险因素的认识相关。
这项研究揭示了波兰成年人对泌尿生殖系统癌症危险因素的认识存在差距。尤其是与生活方式和工作场所相关的危险因素。
