Nurse Practitioner Knowledge of and Experienced Barriers to High-Risk Colorectal Cancer Screenings
Problem: Evidence supports earlier preventive colorectal cancer (CRC) screening for high-risk individuals. Awareness of high-risk factors and application to screening guidelines can enable nurse practitioners (NPs) to positively impact screening rates. Application of this knowledge can transform high-risk CRC screenings from tertiary CRC diagnosis to primary and secondary prevention to improve health outcomes. Purpose: To survey NP knowledge, perceived barriers, and current practice patterns in referring high-risk individuals for CRC screenings. Methods: A 16-question Qualtrics Internet survey designed, tested, and emailed to 2,155 primary care NPs in North Carolina. Results: One hundred eighty respondents (8.3%) completed the survey, with 57.5% (n = 104) rating themselves knowledgeable of high-risk CRC screening guidelines. Screening barriers included uninsured status, patient refusal, and lack of access. Aggregate practice screening pattern questions were related to self-perceived knowledge of high-risk CRC guidelines (χ2 = 4.1918, df = 1, p = .04). Conclusion: Over half (57.8%) of the respondents reporting knowledge of high-risk CRC guidelines had statistically significant relationship in aggregate practice patterns. Reduction of screening barriers using targeted interventions may improve health outcomes.
