Book The Relationship Between Health Beliefs and the Performance of Breast Self examination Among African American Women

Download or read book The Relationship Between Health Beliefs and the Performance of Breast Self examination Among African American Women written by Marlaine F. Registe and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between African American women's health beliefs in regard to breast cancer and screening behaviors, knowledge and attitudes that may serve as incentives or barriers to their adherence to routine BSE practices. For the purpose of this research study, reference to African American women encompassed all women whose ancestors were brought from the continent of Africa to the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean, involuntarily. The Health Belief Model (HBM), one of the most widely recognized conceptual frameworks of health behavior, served as the theoretical framework. The Breast Cancer Screening Beliefs Instrument Scale (HBMS) was the instrument used in this study. This instrument explores ethnic differences in attitudes toward health practices, health beliefs, risk estimates, and knowledge about breast cancer and breast cancer screenings.

Book Breast Cancer Education and Screening for Underserved African American Women

Download or read book Breast Cancer Education and Screening for Underserved African American Women written by Ann Marie P. March and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Breast cancer mortality rates differ among racial/ethnic groups in the United States and currently are about 16% higher in black women than in white women. The reason for this racial/ethnic difference is unknown. Due to the low rate of breast cancer screening practices in this population, an educational program was developed to increase the participants' knowledge about breast cancer, including the need for breast self-examination (BSE) and mammograms. The plan is to increase the awareness of breast cancer in African American women, and access of routine breast screening in collaboration with community-based organizations such as churches, among low-income and uninsured women. This educational program consists of African American women watching a seven minute educational video. The movie is about breast cancer and the importance of early detection, clinical breast examinations by professionals, yearly mammograms, and demonstrates how to perform breast self examination. This educational program will be guided by a systematic process for the change to evidence-based practice. The program will increase the participant's knowledge of breast cancer risks and screening practices among middle-aged African American women. Breast cancer screening offers the greatest potential for reducing deaths in the African American population. Increased knowledge and changing beliefs associated with breast cancer screening are important when attempting to increase mammography and BSE among African American women. Nurses can make a difference in the education and decrease in mortality rate of these women if they recognize how a woman's cultural beliefs and attitudes can adversely affect health promotion and disease prevention behaviors." -- from Introduction.

Book An Investigation of the Facilitative and Inhibitory Variables Impacting Breast Health Practices in Low Socioeconomic Status Black Women of African American and Caribbean Descent

Download or read book An Investigation of the Facilitative and Inhibitory Variables Impacting Breast Health Practices in Low Socioeconomic Status Black Women of African American and Caribbean Descent written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black women of low-socioeconomic status (SES) demonstrate a high incidence of breast cancer mortality associated with late. stage diagnosis. Breast cancer screening, including mammography, breast self-examination, and clinical breast examination, remains the most effective route to early cancer detection. Studies indicate poor adherence to breast cancer screening regimens among low-income minority women. An overall objective of the study is the construction of models that can explain screening practices in low-SES black women. This will be accomplished in two separate waves. In the first wave, facilitators and barriers to breast cancer screening participation among low-SES women of African-American and Caribbean descent will be determined through qualitative interview. This approach intends to provide a voice for the concerns and experiences guiding these women in their screening choices. The current study incorporates an approach-avoidance theoretical framework that considers preventive screening behaviors to be both desirable and aversive. Based on the factors provided by the respondents in the first wave of the study, culturally-sensitive Q-Sort instrumentation will be designed that will allow participants to rank order these factors as facilitators or barriers and therefore, provide a powerful approach to testing the theoretical paradigm. Finally, innovative modeling techniques will be applied to determine the strength of models to explain breast health care practices among low-SES Black women, either as idiopathic to the general population of low-SES Black women or specific to African-American or Caribbean cultural groups.
