There is a gap in the literature about esophageal cancer in Somalia and Turkey. A descriptive cross sectional explanatory study was carried to evaluate the determination of nurse’s knowledge about esophageal cancer and risk factors in Somali and Turkey. The study was carried out at Banadir Government Hospital in Mogadishu- Somalia and Karabuk University Research and Training Hospital in Karabük- Turkey from 3rd February to the 28th September 2020. Data were collected using the self-designed questionnaire. The data were analyzed by using the IBM SPSS 20 program (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). A total of 293 nurses (146 Turkish and 147 Somalian nurses) were included. In this study, it was found that a differences between the education levels of nurses working in Turkey and in Somalia (p<0.001). The study revealed that there was a statistically significant differences between the nutrition habits of Turkish nurses and Somalian nurses (p<0.01). 2.1% of Turkish nurses had esophageal cancer in their first-degree relatives, and 25.9% of Somalian nurses had esophageal cancer in their first-degree relatives (p<0.001). Addition, it was found that a difference between the esphageal cancer risk factors, treatment and total knowledge scores in Turkish and Somalian nurses (p<0.001). However, there was no statistical differences between two groups in items of diagnosis and screening knowlege scores (p=0.755). Somalian nurses knowledge scores about risk factors and treatment was higher than the Turkish nurses (p<0.001). Considering the increasing prevalence of esophageal cancer in the world, we recommend organizing training programs to nurses in regard to increase the knowledge on esophageal cancer risk factors, diagnosis, screening and treatment modalities.
