Overview

This evaluation reveals poor colorectal cancer symptom knowledge in pharmacy students, indicating a need for educational interventions.

Key Points

  • To assess the level of awareness about colorectal cancer (CRC) among pharmacy faculty students and identify barriers to screening.
  • Surveyed pharmacy faculty students on knowledge of CRC symptoms, risks, and screening methods.
  • Analyzed the impact of sociodemographic variables on CRC awareness.
  • Identified barriers to screening, particularly related to fear of bad results.
  • Students showed poor knowledge of CRC symptoms but good understanding of CRC risks.
  • Females and nonsmokers had significantly more knowledge about CRC risks.
  • The main barrier to screening was the concern over receiving bad results.
