Video Summary

The study titled "Assessment of the Fear of COVID-19 and its Impact on Lung Cancer Screening Participation among the Korean general population" aimed to assess the fear of COVID-19 compared to lung cancer among the Korean population and how it affects their decisions to undergo screening. Data was collected from the Korean National Cancer Screening Survey in 2020, and the results showed that nearly 30% of respondents perceived more fear of COVID-19 than lung cancer. The fear of COVID-19 significantly decreased the likelihood of attendance in health checkups, indicating a negative impact on disease screening. The study emphasizes the importance of providing appropriate information to minimize disruption in cancer prevention activities.
