This book was released on 2014 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, racial/ethnic disparities in cervical cancer preventive practices exist. Hispanics in the U.S. are the largest and most rapidly growing demographic group, with a population increase four times higher than the general population. Cervical cancer screening rates among the Hispanic women population remain low. Lack of access to the Papanicolaou test (Pap smear test) and follow-up treatment are key factors that help explain the high rates of cervical cancer among Hispanic women compared to those of other races or ethnicities. Current research shows that cervical cancer screening practices are influenced by multiple factors such as cultural beliefs, religiosity, and perceived barriers to cervical cancer screening. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to examine the association between biculturalism, knowledge of cervical cancer screening, religiosity (perceived religiosity to health outcomes and church cohesion) and perceived barriers to cervical cancer screening among churchgoing Hispanic women who are participants in the Fe en Acción /Faith in Action study in San Diego, CA (n=312). The Health Belief Model was used as the theoretical framework to identify modifying factors that influence cervical cancer screening practices. Surveys were administered and information was gathered about their Hispanic women's biculturalism, knowledge about cervical cancer prevention and religiosity (perceived religious influence on health outcomes and church cohesion) and perceived barriers to cervical cancer screening. Linear regression models were used to determine whether there were significant differences among variables. Results from the linear regressions indicated a significant association between knowledge of cervical cancer prevention and the number of perceived barriers to cervical cancer screening. Additionally, one dimension of religiosity "illness as punishment for sin" was significantly associated with the number of perceived barriers to cervical cancer screening.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Pap screening has decreased morbidity and mortality from cervical cancer, reported statistics indicate that among ethnic groups, Hispanic women are one of the least likely to follow screening guidelines. Human papillomavirus (HPV), a major risk factor for cervical cancer, as well as pre-cancerous lesions, may be detected by early Pap screening. With a reported 43% prevalence of HPV infection in college women, regular Pap screening is important.

This book was released on 2003-05-07 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer ranks second only to heart disease as a leading cause of death in the United States, making it a tremendous burden in years of life lost, patient suffering, and economic costs. Fulfilling the Potential for Cancer Prevention and Early Detection reviews the proof that we can dramatically reduce cancer rates. The National Cancer Policy Board, part of the Institute of Medicine, outlines a national strategy to realize the promise of cancer prevention and early detection, including specific and wide-ranging recommendations. 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.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cervical cancer (CC), although preventable, is a significant cause of deaths among Mexican Immigrant Women (MIW). This study applied the Health Belief Model to MIW and their husbands to (a) explore support provided to MIW from their husbands with varying degrees of CC knowledge, awareness, and understanding of Pap testing; and (b) determine the relationship between MIW's knowledge and health beliefs (susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy) and their screening behaviors. A sample of 110 married couples including MIW were recruited from 2 public community centers. Questionnaires in English and Spanish were administered, including the HPV/Cervical Cancer and Screening Knowledge Scale, Cervical Cancer Screening Self-Efficacy Scale, the Bi-Dimensional Acculturation Scale, and the Spousal Support Scale. It was hypothesized that husbands' support for their wives, and MIW's knowledge, health beliefs (susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy), and perceived spousal support would be positively related to MIW's screening behaviors. However, only MIW's health beliefs of susceptibility and benefits were related to screening behavior in logistic regression analyses. The sample, recruited from community centers that had unusually good services for encouraging health care, may not have been representative of the broad MIW population. On the other hand, the findings added to an understanding of the often complex relationships between perceptions of husbands' support and their wives' CC screening behaviors. The findings also supported the benefits of local well established and resourced community centers. It is hoped that these insights can help shape future research and practice in this vitally important field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book gives an overview of the sessions, panel discussions, and outcomes of the Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos conference, held in February 2018 in San Antonio, Texas, USA, and hosted by the Mays Cancer Center and the Institute for Health Promotion Research at UT Health San Antonio. Latinos – the largest, youngest, and fastest-growing minority group in the United States – are expected to face a 142% rise in cancer cases in coming years. Although there has been substantial advancement in cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment over the past few decades, addressing Latino cancer health disparities has not nearly kept pace with progress. The diverse and dynamic group of speakers and panelists brought together at the Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos conference provided in-depth insights as well as progress and actionable goals for Latino-focused basic science research, clinical best practices, community interventions, and what can be done by way of prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer in Latinos. These insights have been translated into the chapters included in this compendium; the chapters summarize the presentations and include current knowledge in the specific topic areas, identified gaps, and top priority areas for future cancer research in Latinos. Topics included among the chapters: Colorectal cancer disparities in Latinos: Genes vs. Environment Breast cancer risk and mortality in women of Latin American origin Differential cancer risk in Latinos: The role of diet Overcoming barriers for Latinos on cancer clinical trials Es tiempo: Engaging Latinas in cervical cancer research Emerging policies in U.S. health care Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos proves to be an indispensable resource offering key insights into actionable targets for basic science research, suggestions for clinical best practices and community interventions, and novel strategies and advocacy opportunities to reduce health disparities in Latino communities. It will find an engaged audience among researchers, academics, physicians and other healthcare professionals, patient advocates, students, and others with an interest in the broad field of Latino cancer.

Book excerpt: Cancer is the leading cause of death for Hispanics, and cervical cancer incidence is higher (64%) for Hispanics than for non-Hispanic whites. In Texas Hispanic women 50 and older are the lowest screened and present with higher incidence of invasive cervical cancer as compared to non-Hispanic white women. They are diagnosed at a peak age of 65-74, which suggests that Hispanic women need to be screened past the recommended screening age. An estimated 90 million people in the U.S. lack basic literacy skills and low literacy may contribute to low screening. Few studies have addressed the relationship between low health literacy and cervical cancer screening among older women of Mexican-American ancestry. This study sought to uncover the cervical cancer screening beliefs, practices, health literacy, knowledge, and experiences of English and/or Spanish-speaking older women of Mexican-American ancestry. Thirty women participated in focus group or individual interviews in English and/or Spanish. Women 50 years of age or older living in the community were recruited from senior centers in South Texas from a purposeful convenience sample. Data collection was conducted through audio-taped semi-structured interviews following a moderator guide developed using Zarcadoolas, Pleasant, and Greer's (2005) health literacy model. Data were transcribed, analyzed in original language, translated for meaning, aggregated for analysis using qualitative content analysis; matrices were developed and analyzed individually, and then data were aggregated. The Newest Vital Sign, a health literacy tool, was used to partially assess fundamental literacy. Major themes elucidated were (a) Reasons "I don't go" [fundamental literacy], (b), Prevention of cancer and "everything else" [science literacy], (c) We are different, [cultural literacy], (d) There is always "consejos" (advice, messages) [civic literacy], and media literacy, (e) Telenovelas (soap-operas) teach a lot, and (f) Learning from Internet brochures. The study supports a multidimensional model of health literacy and focus group research, accounting for the group's cultural norms, language, and educational preferences. It adds information for nurse clinicians about providing holistic care, for nurse educators regarding communication strategies for diverse older populations, and for researchers to continue developing strategies that improve health literacy and health outcomes for minority older women.
