This book was released on 2016 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the three studies in this dissertation is to provide the foundation of the research study "A Comparative Case Study of Resource Structures for Korean American Women's Breast Cancer Screenings in Atlanta and Chicago Metropolitan Areas" for further analysis on the current information and service systems for Korean American women's breast cancer screenings and their screening status in Atlanta and Chicago metropolitan areas. In Study One, through reviewing previous research studies on Korean American women's breast cancer screening, it was found that theoretical approaches were biased toward the Health Belief Model. This study attempts to bridge the gap between micro and macro perspectives by extending HBM with habitus, a concept of Pierre Bourdieu. In Study Two, exploratory statistical analysis was performed to examine the factors influencing Korean American women's breast cancer screening practice, with a sample of 274 Korean American women, from 40 to 65 years of age. Data were collected through a self-administrated survey in Atlanta and Chicago metropolitan areas to confirm the revised framework of Study One. In addition to that, the functionality of two different types of response items about the status of breast cancer screening is examined using binary and Likert five-point scales. Compared with the findings of research studies before 2014, the rate of Korean American women with health insurance in both regions has increased but the rate of Korean American women having a mammogram in the past two years was still low, especially in Chicago. The response items using a Likert five-point scale had significant relations with more factors than binary response items. In Study Three, the scale of information and service resources, medical dependency on S. Korea, social barriers, and breast cancer screening behavior pattern was developed to explain the Korean American women's breast cancer screening practice through the extended Health Belief Model within the social structures, and their reliability and construct validity were tested. After the deleting, summating, and redefining process, the sensitivity of the new variables was checked through logistic regression, resulting in significant results. Eventually, the findings will provide a critical foundation for future research studies.

Download or read book Effects of Acculturation on Mammography Utilization Among Korean American Women written by Jungeun K. Kim and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between acculturation and mammography utilization among Korean American (KA) women. The specific aims of this study were to determine the differences in demographic characteristics, perceived health beliefs, self-efficacy, and knowledge of breast cancer, and mammogram history among the four cultural groups (American identity, Bicultural, Korean identity, and Marginality) of KA women, and to examine the effects of the level of acculturation on the likelihood of getting a mammogram. Breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer among KA women. However, KA women consistently have lower screening rates for breast cancer. Although the overall rate of mammogram utilization by KA women in the United States is low, it is relatively higher when compared with that of women in Korea. This comparatively higher screening rate in KA women may be an indication of sociocultural influences from the host country. A descriptive correlational study using a cross sectional design was conducted. A convenience of sample of 215 KA women was recruited from local Korean churches in LA County. The participants completed several self-administered questionnaires and they were divided into four cultural groups according to their scores on the acculturation scale. The perceived barriers played as the most significant factor for receiving a mammogram. The American identity group scored the highest in the self-efficacy scale while the Marginality group scored the lowest. No relationship was identified between knowledge and mammography utilization. The American identity group had the highest rate (57.1%) of recent mammograms while the Marginality group had the lowest rate (26.1%). The Bicultural group had the highest rate (21.7%) of regular mammograms while the Korean identity and Marginality groups demonstrated lower rates. Logistic Regressions demonstrated that the Bicultural group would be significantly more likely to receive regular mammograms than the Korean identity group (OR = 0.340). Therefore, acculturation was an important predictor for mammography utilization among KA women in this study. Developing culturally appropriate interventions with specific emphasis on targeting different acculturation levels would be an important factor for increasing breast cancer screening practices of KA women. Keywords: acculturation, mammography, Korean American women.

Offering a wealth of information and directly addressing major controversies, the book includes: A detailed look at how significantly cancer could be reduced through lifestyle changes, evaluating approaches used to alter eating, smoking, and exercise habits. An analysis of the intuitive notion that screening for cancer leads to improved health outcomes, including a discussion of screening methods, potential risks, and current recommendations. An examination of cancer prevention and control opportunities in primary health care delivery settings, including a review of interventions aimed at improving provider performance. Reviews of professional education and training programs, research trends and opportunities, and federal programs that support cancer prevention and early detection. This in-depth volume will be of interest to policy analysts, cancer and public health specialists, health care administrators and providers, researchers, insurers, medical journalists, and patient advocates.
Download or read book The Comfort Women written by C. Sarah Soh and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era marked by atrocities perpetrated on a grand scale, the tragedy of the so-called comfort women—mostly Korean women forced into prostitution by the Japanese army—endures as one of the darkest events of World War II. These women have usually been labeled victims of a war crime, a simplistic view that makes it easy to pin blame on the policies of imperial Japan and therefore easier to consign the episode to a war-torn past. In this revelatory study, C. Sarah Soh provocatively disputes this master narrative. Soh reveals that the forces of Japanese colonialism and Korean patriarchy together shaped the fate of Korean comfort women—a double bind made strikingly apparent in the cases of women cast into sexual slavery after fleeing abuse at home. Other victims were press-ganged into prostitution, sometimes with the help of Korean procurers. Drawing on historical research and interviews with survivors, Soh tells the stories of these women from girlhood through their subjugation and beyond to their efforts to overcome the traumas of their past. Finally, Soh examines the array of factors— from South Korean nationalist politics to the aims of the international women’s human rights movement—that have contributed to the incomplete view of the tragedy that still dominates today.
