This book was released on 2007 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breast cancer is the second most deadly cancer among women (American Cancer Society, 2005). However, woman can reduce their chances of surviving this disease if they detect the cancer early on through breast screening. This study will evaluate the Family Health Decision-Making Model (FHDMM) as it relates to partner influence on breast cancer screening adherence. The FHDMM proposes a decision-making process that incorporates the concepts of differentiation, monitoring style, coping, and the interactions between these concepts. Health, a critical component to quality of life, directly influences family functioning and interactions. For this reason, health decisions made by families are a significant predictor of family health. Participants in this study include women from a larger study and their family members. The women attended a presentation about breast cancer awareness, risk factors, and prevention. Data for this study was analyzed using correlations, t-tests, regressions, and a structural equation model with the SPSS 14.0 and LISREL 8.72 software packages. Research hypothesis one examined differentiation and monitoring, and this hypothesis was supported. This suggests that there is a relationship between differentiation and monitoring and that those reporting lower differentiation scores also reported higher monitoring. Findings from research hypothesis two revealed that there was not a significant difference on instrumental coping based on level of differentiation. Results from research hypothesis three revealed that differentiation did not directly influence the family dyad's decision to engage in breast cancer screening behaviors although it is believed that differentiation has an indirect relationship to breast cancer-screening behaviors. This study did not support the full Family Health Decision Making Model, which stated that differentiation is related to coping, which is related to monitoring, and participant's adherence to breast cancer screenings. Due to the large sample size, the model did not have a significant fit to the data. Limitations and clinical implications are further discussed in this paper.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breast cancer is a major health concern for women in the United States. In 2004, 186,772 women were diagnosed with breast cancer and 40,954 women died of breast cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, there is a strong association among breast cancer screening, early detection, and survival. There is a marked deficit of breast cancer screening adherence. Early detection of breast cancer with a corresponding decrease in mortality is dependent on breast cancer screening. This research was a non-experimental, descriptive, retrospective, quantitative chart review. The purpose of this study was to determine if participants at this study site, who received counseling on breast cancer screening, adhered to the protocol to make changes in preventive health. The Health Belief Model was the organizing framework for this study. This framework was used to organize this research study on adherence to breast cancer screening guidelines because it focuses on patient adherence and preventive healthcare practice. The sample of charts were of women age 40 years or over, who had no insurance, and were below 250% of the federal poverty level who presented at this study site for services. Data were collected from 103 charts of patients that received services from January 2007 to January 2008. Information on patients' age, ethnicity, race, adherence to breast self exam, adherence to clinical breast exam, and adherence to mammography were collected. The results showed an impressive adherence to mammogram, followed by BSE, then CBE. The study suggested that tailored interventions pertaining to performing monthly BSE and yearly CBE with mammography has the potential to make a positive difference in breast cancer screening behaviors.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to examine the association between mammogram adherence in Filipino American women and 3 factors: need, enabling and predisposing. These factors were represented by 10 independent variables: breast cancer literacy, number of mammogram referrals by a healthcare provider, health insurance, sociocultural deterrents, fatalism, symptomatic deterrents, catastrophic disease expectations, negative health beliefs about healthcare professionals, nativity and years of residence in the United States. These variables corresponded with the need, enabling and predisposing factors in Andersen's Behavioral Health Model for the Utilization of Services which served as the conceptual framework of this study. The expanded version of Andersen's model, which contained need, enabling and predisposing factors unique to vulnerable population groups, was used. The convenience sample consisted of 157 Filipino American women, who were at least 40 years old, residing in the United States and had never been diagnosed with breast cancer or breast disease. The sample was highly educated with 33.8% of whom had postgraduate credits or a post-graduate degree, 59.9% had a college degree and only 4 women (2.5%) had less than a college degree. Not surprisingly, all but 3 women had health insurance. Many of these Filipino American women lived in a household where there were at least two incomes (n=117, 74.5%), a few (n=28, 17.8%) lived in one income households and only 6 (3.8%) lived in a household where there was no income earner declared. Five Filipino American women were born in the United States, the rest of the women (n=148, 94.3%) were born in the Philippines. The average time of residence in the United States was 25.09 (±11.18) years. Logistic regression models were analyzed to determine the association between the study variables and mammogram adherence. Model 1 pertained to the need factor in Andersen's Behavioral Health Model. The need factor consisted of 2 variables: breast cancer literacy and the number of mammogram referrals by a healthcare provider. Model 2 pertained to the enabling factor in Andersen's Behavioral Health Model. The enabling factor consisted of 2 variables: health insurance and sociocultural deterrents. Model 3 corresponded to the predisposing factor in Andersen's Behavioral Health Model. The predisposing factor consisted of 6 variables: fatalism, symptomatic deterrents, catastrophic disease expectations, negative health beliefs about healthcare professionals, nativity and years of residence in the United States. Two of these variables - nativity and health insurance - were eventually deleted after analysis showed that they violated the assumption of cell frequency. Of the variables in the logistic regression models, only 1 was significantly associated with mammogram adherence - the number of mammogram referrals by a healthcare provider. In Model 4, the odds of a Filipino American woman being mammogram adherent vs. being non-adherent were 113% higher with an AOR of 2.13 (95% CI, 1.094, 4.160; p-value=.026) for each additional mammogram referral from a healthcare provider, controlling for other variables in the model. Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among Filipino American women. Breast cancer disparities in Filipino American women exist in terms of mortality, age at diagnosis, tumor characteristics, delay in diagnostic follow-up and suboptimal treatment modalities. Mammogram is a proven technology to detect breast cancer early when it is most treatable and help alleviate some of these disparities. However, Filipino American women have had historically low mammogram adherence rates. What this study validated is that a referral from a healthcare professional is most determinative of mammogram adherence. This study provides a basis for health policy to be directed towards encouraging, monitoring and incentivizing healthcare professions to promote cancer screening."--Abstract from author supplied metadata

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: An urgent need exists to reduce elderly women's risk for breast cancer by promoting a health behavior that could lower this threat. The knowledge of breast self-examination could represent a health behavior that leads to the detection of advanced breast cancer and could influence elderly women's self-rated health status. The focus of this study was to determine if the knowledge of breast self-examination (BSE) as an adaptive health behavior can influence the self-rated health status of elderly women. Additional factors were also considered for the extent of their potential influence on an elderly woman's estimate of health. The purpose of this research was to study the relationship of breast cancer risk, knowledge of BSE, environmental press, and individual competence factors on the self-rated health status of women, age 75 years and older, residing in a group of assisted living facilities. This study looked at whether BSE knowledge could be a significant contributor to these women's self-rated health status. This research was conducted with a quasi-experimental design and used random assignment to place assisted living facilities in either treatment or control groups. On the participant level, older women were provided with their risk of breast cancer prior to the intervention. In addition, the experimental group of older women received BSE instruction and then 8 weeks later were surveyed as to their health. Likewise, the control group provided the same data, except BSE instruction was withheld. A t-test was done to check for differences between the groups as well as a correlation to gauge relationships between the independent variables and the dependent variable for each of the groups. Finally, a step-wise linear regression was preformed to find which of the independent variables best explained the most variance in the dependent variable for each of the groups. BSE knowledge was shown to contribute statistically to the experimental older women's self rated mental health scores. Independent activities of daily living were statistically significant for both groups at explaining variance in their physical health scores. Independence also was indicated as being important in explaining variance in the mental health score of the experimental group.
