CULTURAL PRACTICE OF AT-RISK PEOPLE OF COLORECTAL CANCER AND RISK REDUCTION IN INDONESIA: ETHNOGRAPHY STUDY
Keywords:
At-risk people, colorectal cancer, cultural practice, ethnography, Indonesia, risk reductionAbstract
The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) increases yearly, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Avoiding risk factors serves to effectively and efficiently reduce CRC incidence. In this ethnography study, we explored the health behavior of at-risk people of CRC to reduce the risk in Palembang, Indonesia. Purposive sampling was used, and involved 9 participants. The data were collected using participant observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions, and then analysed using thematic analysis. There were 9 themes that emerged: food preparation, food cooking, food consumption, moderate physical activity, health checks and medical treatment, trying traditional herbs, alternative therapy and spiritual power as treatment, controlling risky health related behaviours, cancer information, and self-health perspectives. Multiple-sectoral strategies and collaboration between academics, practices, communities, and government are needed to carry out risk reduction activities and increase awareness along with community empowerment and capacity building in accordance with cultural understanding.
