Motivation of managerial population for the implementation of the activities of the primary prevention of colorectal cancer
Osijek Health Centre is a primary health care institution which organises a separate clinic specialized for the population of managers. A group of people who manage various systems, processes, human resources, and are constantly exposed to stress as a health risk. They are performing extensive preventive medical examinations on a regular basis. Managers themselves, along with their employers, are interested in investing additional efforts in the preservation of their health. One of these activities is self control by using the fecal occult blood test in order to prevent colorectal cancer. Aim was to question the level of motivation of managers to implement the activities of the primary prevention of colorectal cancer. During a 2 year period, a group of 198 managers (126 men and 72 women), were suggested to perform a fecal occult blood test. The average age of the managers was 59.62 years for men and 53.42 years for women. During the medical examinations, by using the individual approach, the goals and the tehniques of the examinations, as well as their possible health benefits were explained to the managers. They all underwent the digitorectal exam. The undertaken fecal occult blood tests were returned by 179 managers (90.4%), among those were 110men (87.3%) and 69 women (95.83%). The examination indicated that enhanced efforts in approach, good information exchange as well as the control of performed activities, can lead toward a high level of motivation in the enforcement of primary prevention measures. This approach can be applied on targeted groups of people when we wish to achieve a wider range of screening measures (90.4% in our investigation), than within of the usual percent of mass screenings (50-55%).
