Abstract:

 Aim: To consider the association between healthy lifestyle behaviours and health belief levels towards colorectal cancer prevention on nursing students. Material and Method: This descriptive, correlational study was conducted with 273 undergraduate nursing students. Descriptive informations form, Bristol Stool Chart, Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours Scale-II HLBS-II and Colorectal Cancer Screening Belief Scale CCSBS were used for data collection. Descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA and Mann Whitney-U test were used in data analysis. Results: The mean age of the participants was 20.981.59 years. While the students had the lowest mean of HLBS-II in the physical activity sub-dimension, they had the lowest mean in CCSBS in susceptibility sub-dimension. While growing age has an increasing effect on nutrition, spiritual-growth and confidence-benefits-health motivation perception, it has a decreasing effect on the perceived barrier p0.05. Regular exercise for 30 minutes or more per day had a positive effect on HLBS-II scores p0.05. Those with a familial history of colorectal cancer had a higher susceptibility perception, and those who exercised regularly had a significantly higher health motivation perception p0.05. Conclusion: Study findings revealed that nursing students with higher trust-benefit and health motivation perception had higher healthy lifestyle behaviours.

 Amaç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarıyla kolorektal kanserden korunmaya yönelik sağlık inanç düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı, ilişkisel tipteki bu araştırma 273 hemşirelik lisans öğrencisiyle gerçekleştirildi. Verilerin toplanmasında, tanıtıcı bilgiler formu, Bristol Gaita Skalası, Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları Ölçeği-II SYBDÖ-II ve Kolorektal Kanserden Korunmaya Yönelik Sağlık İnanç Modeli Ölçeği KKKYSİMÖ kullanıldı. Veri analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Pearson Korelasyon Katsayısı, bağımsız örneklem t-testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi ve Mann Whitney-U testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaşları ortalama 20.981.59 yıldı. Öğrenciler, SYBDÖ-IIde en düşük puanı fiziksel aktivite alt boyutundan, KKKYSİMÖde ise duyarlılık algısı alt boyutundan aldı. Yaş artıkça öğrencilerin beslenme, manevi gelişim ve güven-yarar-sağlık motivasyonu algısı düzeylerinin arttığı, engel algılarının ise azaldığı belirlendi p0.05. Günde 30 dakika ve daha uzun süre düzenli egzersiz yapmanın SYBDÖ-II puanlarını etkilediği saptandı p0.05. Ailesel kolorektal kanser öyküsü olanların duyarlılık algısının, düzenli egzersiz yapanların ise sağlık motivasyonu algısının anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu belirlendi p0.05. Sonuç: Araştırma bulguları, güven-yarar ve sağlık motivasyonu algısı yüksek olan hemşirelik öğrencilerinde, sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarının daha yüksek olduğunu gösterdi.
