Background:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. This study aimed to examine the impact of an educational intervention on nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding CRC screening in Jordan.
Methodology:
The study was an experimental design conducted before and after the educational intervention. Participants attended four 30-minute sessions held weekly over one month. A paired t-test was used to determine the mean difference in participants' knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding CRC screening before and after the intervention. Statistical analyses were conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 27.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY).
Results:
A total of 43 participants took part in the study, of whom 29 (67.4%) were female and 14 (32.6%) were male. The majority (30, 69.8%) were aged between 20 and 30 years. The results showed a significant mean increase in knowledge (mean difference [MD] = 3.09, P < 0.001), attitude (MD = 4.16, P < 0.001), and practice (MD = 2.67, P < 0.001) regarding CRC screening following the intervention.
Conclusions:
The implementation of health education about CRC screening for the study participants was successful based on the results. This strategy could provide a solid basis for organizing, implementing, and supervising CRC screening initiatives.
