Amy Scott

Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer death in Ireland yet it is a highly preventable disease through lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise. Vast amounts of research have been conducted supporting the hypothesis that diet helps to prevent or significantly reduce the incidence of CRC. However, very little is known as to whether any health promotion activities are being adopted practice nurses to raise
public awareness of the primary prevention of CRC. A proposed method will be set out to explore Irish practice nurses knowledge on the primary prevention of CRC. A purposive sample obtained from the Irish Practice Nurses Association (IPNA) will be used in this quantitative study. Questionnaires will be used for data collection. It is anticipated that the knowledge gained from this study will improve practice nurses and other health care professionals understanding, awareness and necessity of increasing the public awareness about the primary prevention of CRC
