Keywords:
Colorectal Cancer Screening, Research and Development, Community Participation, Primary Health Care System, Screening ModelAbstract
This research aimed to: 1) examine the current situation and analyze colorectal cancer screening systems, 2) develop a participatory management system for colorectal cancer screening, and 3) evaluate the effectiveness of the developed screening model. This study employed a research and development methodology incorporating community participation frameworks. The sample consisted of 297 peoples aged 50-70 years. Research instruments included questionnaires, in-depth interview guides, and focus group discussion protocols. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data underwent content analysis with descriptive narrative reporting.
The results revealed that: After implementing the model, the FIT TEST screening rate increased from 35.6% to 72.5%, the colonoscopy rate among those with positive FIT TEST results increased from 60.2% to 88.7%, and the proportion of colorectal cancer patients diagnosed at an early stage increased from 42.3% to 83.2%. The findings from this research is an effective colorectal cancer screening model that can be applied in other areas with similar contexts to increase screening rates and early cancer diagnosis.
