- Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the knowledge of hospital cleaning staff on breast cancer and screening test and their status of undergoing screening in terms of socio-demographic characteristics. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive crosssectional study. The data were collected with a questionnaire form prepared by the researchers in accordance with the literature. The study was conducted with the voluntary participation of 82.5% of the cleaning staff (the total number of employees is 160 individuals) in an institution providing secondary health care in a city center. The type I error level was set at 0.05. Results: Of the participants, 74.2% stated that they knew about the screening methods. The variables of knowing breast cancer symptoms and the place where screenings are performed were significant in terms of having a screening test, while the presence of a history of cancer in the family and whether to believe in the importance of early diagnosis were not significant. Conclusion: The knowledge of hospital staff on breast cancer and screening test and their behaviours of having screening does not make any difference in terms of many socio-demographic characteristics.
