title: [How can family doctors improve the participation rate in mammographic screening. The role of prevention nurses].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  In our country the participation rate in screenings, including mammographic screening is very low. Restructuring of primary care system through the development of practice teams is an important task.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The authors examined the effectiveness of prevention nurses' work as a member of the practice team on the organization of mammographic screening.
  
  
  METHODS
  Prevention nurses looked up women who did not participate in mammographic screening two years before proceeding the reference period according to a protocol. The program was gradually extended to all family doctor practices in Kecskemét.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In the author's own practice is that the turnout could be achieved and sustained over 60% with this method. During the extension of the program on a representative sample respect of Kecskemét 36.7% of patients who did not participate in screening in the previous two years were involved in mammographic screening again. Extending the entire target population of Kecskemét authors found that the 16-20% of non-screened patients participated again and whole screening rate rose above 70% in the city.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The program proved that a prevention nurse as a practice team member can coordinate the tasks of screening effectively making a connection among the family doctors, screening centers and patients. Orv. Hetil., 2017, 158(8), 311-315.
