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.

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 excerpt: Breast self-examination (BSE) has been a successful method in the early detection of breast cancer. In this study a descriptive approach was used to determine the relationship between health beliefs and frequency and proficiency of BSE among Arab women living in the United States. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients revealed no relationship between the major constructs of the HBM scale and the frequency and proficiency of the subjects' practice of BSE.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black women of low-socioeconomic status (SES) demonstrate a higher incidence of breast cancer mortality associated with late-stage diagnosis than White women. Breast cancer screening, including mammography, breast self-examination, and clinical breast examination, remains the most effective route to early 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 a theoretical model 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 allows 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 respondents on the first wave of the study, a culturally sensitive Q-Sort instrument will be designed that will allow participants to rank order these factors as facilitators or barriers to screening, and therefore, provide a powerful approach to testing the theoretical paradigm. Finally innovative modeling techniques will be applied to determine the strength of emergent models to explain breast health care practices among low-SES Black women, either as idiopathic to the general population or specific to African-American or Caribbean cultural groups.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in African-American women. Studies have reported that African-American women with breast cancer are more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage of the disease and have a higher mortality rate than white women. Despite this, African-American women are less likely than White women to avail themselves of the benefits of screening mammography. This is most often attributed to lack of education, lack of access, and low socioeconomic status. However, it has been repeatedly shown that when socioeconomic, educational, and logistic barriers are minimized, African-Americans continue to underutilize these screening procedures. In this study, breast cancer screening behaviors and the factors that influence those behaviors were measured by means of a survey questionnaire distributed to members of a defined population of African-American and White women with potentially comparable levels of education, health care access, and socioeconomic status. This report describes the background, objectives, and procedures of this study, and details the work carried out in Year 02, including data collection and analysis. A total of 782 usable surveys were returned from female public school teachers in Philadelphia aged 40 and older. White respondents were more likely than African-Americans to be married or cohabiting, and had significantly higher annual household incomes; they were also more likely to have been adherent to mammography guidelines over the previous five years and to say that they would definitely get a mammogram in the next 24 months. African-Americans, by contrast, were more likely than Whites to have practiced regular breast self-examination. When demographic and health- related factors were controlled for, however, no significant effect of race on mammography adherence or intentions was found.
