Abstract
This study aims to investigate the habits, lifestyle, knowledge, attitudes, and practices of nurses and midwives serving in Isparta. Within the scope of the study, data were collected through face-to-face interviews with 300 midwives and nurses aged 19-55 working in Isparta province. Many of the participants in the study stated that the most common type of cancer in women is breast cancer. While most of the participants thought that the most common type of cancer in men was lung cancer, few stated that it was prostate cancer. No statistically significant difference was observed in the knowledge and behaviors of the participants on cancer, according to whether they are midwives or nurses, their income status, and their education level. While nurses and midwives have a high level of risk perception and knowledge about cancer, it has been observed that they do not show the necessary care in control and treatment. Keywords: Attitudes; cancer; knowledge; midwives; nurses.
