Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer mortality in the world. In Turkey, it is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and fourth leading cause of cancer death. Cancer screening activities are mostly initiated and implemented at primary health care services. Despite it is known that benefits of screening in reducing CRC incidence and mortality rates CRC screening rates are significantly lower among men and women in Turkey. However there are several interventions have been proposed to identify and remove barriers for increasing CRCS in the literature, navigation programs, also known as individualized counseling, have begun to used as a promising method recently. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate effects of Nurse Navigation Program that is administered to individuals aged 50-70 on their screening behavior concerning colorectal cancer (fecal occult blood test and colonoscopy) and their beliefs about this process. Methods: The study was designed experimental pretest-posttest control group design. In the study it is used random assignment to intervention and control groups, with blocking stratified. The participants of the study were 110 individuals aged between 50 and 70 registered to a family health center in İstanbul. The 'Nurse Navigation Program' was administered to the participants. The data were collected through the use of the following three tools: the Demographical Information Form, The Harvard Colorectal Cancer Risk Assessment Tool, Instruments to Measure Colorectal Cancer Screening Benefits and Barriers. The data obtained were analyzed by the descriptive and significance analyses. Results: Following the Nurse Navigation Program the experimental groups FOBT (82% and 84%) and colonoscopy completion rate (15% and 22%) were significantly higher in the control group at 3 and 6 months follow-up. Following the program when compared with the control group it is found that the mean score of the barriers perception of the experimental group was significantly lower and the mean score of the benefits perception of the experimental group was significantly higher. Conclusion: The results show that the Nurse Navigation Program had significant effects on the CRC screening behavior and health-related beliefs concerning the CRC screening. It can be suggested that the Nurse Navigation Program can be further tested on different groups to observe its effects.

Introduction: Complementary medicine (CM) use has been found to influence the uptake of conventional cancer treatment. This study examines associations between CM use and cancer screening rates. Methods: Women aged 62 to 67 years from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health were surveyed regarding their use of cancer screening initiatives. Associations between cancer screening behavior and visits to CM practitioners were analyzed. Results: Of the 9151 women, 9049 (98.9%) completed questions about cancer screening. A total of 65.1% of women had received a clinical skin examination, 54.3% colorectal cancer screening, 56.2% Pap test (within past 2 years), 83.3% mammogram (within past 2 years), 55.8% clinical breast examination, and 55.8% had conducted breast self-examination. Women who had consulted a massage therapist were more likely to undergo clinical skin examination ( P = .002), clinical breast examination ( P = .018), and mammogram ( P = .001). Women who had consulted a chiropractor were more likely to undergo a clinical skin examination ( P = .001), colorectal cancer screening ( P = .020), and mammogram ( P = .011). Women who had consulted an acupuncturist were more likely to undergo colorectal cancer screening ( P = .019), and those who consulted with an osteopath were more liable to have a Pap test ( P = .049). Conclusion: Women who visit CM practitioners are more likely to participate in cancer screening initiatives. Research is required to understand the current and potential role that CM practitioners (can) have as public health advocates, recommending preventative health measures such as cancer screening. Such an examination will help ensure optimal screening utilization and effective, timely care for all cancer patients.
