Özet
Kadınlarda en sık görülen kanser türü sırayla meme ve serviks kanserleridir. Bu araştırmayla kadınlarda en çok görülen meme ve serviks kanserleri ile ilgili, Diyarbakır ilinde farklı meslek gruplarında olan 15–65 yaş arasındaki kadınların meme, serviks kanserinin risk faktörleri ve belirtilerine ilişkin bilgi, tutum ve davranışlarının değerlendirilmesi, meme kanserinde erken tanı yöntemi olan kendi kendine meme muayenesi yapma ve serviks kanserinde erken tanı yöntemi olan Pap smear yaptırma oranının belirlenmesi planlanmıştır. Bu çalışma tanımlayıcı kesitsel bir araştırmadır. 350 ev kadını, 200 öğretmen, 91 polis, 66 avukat, 300 Üniversite Öğrencisi toplam 1007 kadına ulaşılmıştır. Kadınların %42,3’ü kendi kendine meme muayenesini yaptığını ve bunlarında %58,0’ının kendi kendine meme muayenesini düzenli yaptığı saptanmıştır. Kadınların en çok bildiği meme kanseri bulgusu %65’1 ile memede kitle ve en çok bildiği serviks kanseri bulgusu %34,9 ile adet dışı kanamanın olması olarak belirlenmiştir. Meslek grupları arasında kendi kendine meme muayenesi yapma ve Pap test yaptırma oranında istatistiksel olarak fark saptanmıştır. Kendi kendine meme muayenesi yapma oranı en düşük ev kadınları en yüksek öğretmenler olarak belirlenmiştir. Pap smear yaptırma oranı en düşük avukatlar, en yüksek polisler olarak saptanmıştır. Meme ve serviks kanserinden korunma bilgisi ve davranışları bakımından meslek ve eğitim seviye grupları arasında fark saptanmıştır. Daha düşük eğitim düzeyindeki kadınlarda kanserden korunma bilgi düzeyi daha kötü bulunmuştur. Örgütlü yapılarına ve eğitimli olmalarına rağmen çalışan kadınlara bile meme ve serviks kanseri konusunda yeterli eğitim verilememiştir. Kadınların büyük bir kısmı ikincil korunma önlemlerini uygulayamamaktadır. Sağlık çalışanlarının meme ve serviks kanserinden korunma ile ilgili eğitim ve tarama yapma duyarlılığı artırılmalıdır.

The types of cancer that are seen most commonly in women are breast cancer and the cancer of servix respectively. In this research, it was planned to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and behaviours of the women living in the city of Diyarbakır, aged 15-65 years, from various professions, about the breast and cervical cancers, which are seen most commonly in women. Besides it was planned to find out the rate of women performing breast selfexamination, which is a method of early diagnosis in the breast cancer, and of those having pap-smear test done, which is used in the early diagnosis of cervical cancer. This research is a descriptive cross-sectional study. For this research, the accounts of 350 housewives, 200 teachers, 91 policewomen, 66 lawyers, 300 university students, 1007 women in total have been reported. It was found out that %42,3 of the women do breast self-examination, and %58,0 of them do it regularly. The symptom that the women knew best about the breast cancer was a mass in the breast with %65 and they knew best about the cervical cancer were the menstrual abnormalities. It was observed that there were statistical differences between the different professions in the proportion of the breast self-examination and having papsmear test. It was seen that the housewives were at the lowest level in breast self-examination and the teachers were at the highest level. As for the pap-smear test, it was the lawyers who were at the lowest level and the policewomen were at the highest. There were seen differences between job groups and education groups in terms of the information and attitude that they have with regard to the prevention of cancers of breast and cervix. In those women who had lower level of education, the knowledge that they had about the protection from cancer was found at the lowest rate. Despite their education they received and capability to organize, it was found out that the working women had had little education about the breast cancer and the cancer of cervix. A majority of women are not able to perform the secondary protection measures. The sensitivity of the health personnel must be enhanced so as to search and educate women to protect themselves from the breast cancer and the cancer of cervix.
