“…Levels of cancer worry are consistently found to be high. A U.S. study from the 1960s indicated that almost a third of adults (31%) endorsed cancer as a significant cause for worry in their lives (Kirscht, Haefner, Kegeles, & Rosenstock, 1966), and a recent U.K. survey showed that 20% of people worried more about cancer than knife crime, debt, or losing a job (Cancer Research UK, 2010).…”

“…20 There is scant evidence concerning awareness and uptake of preventive measures among HSCT patients or their families-even though these measures require their cooperation. According to the health belief model, 21 the likelihood of uptake depends on perceptions of the patient's susceptibility to RV infections, the severity of infection and its consequences; costs and benefits of adopting the measure and barriers to doing so; and external cues such as reminders and persuasive communications. 22 We report findings of a study that aims:- (1) to ascertain what HSCT patients and their family and friends know about the risk of RV infections post-HSCT, and measures to prevent them, and (2) to evaluate a brief educational intervention designed to increase awareness of preventive measures and increase uptake of household influenza vaccination.…”

“…Assim, a pesquisa sobre coconhecimento e percepção de importantes doenças, realizada por Kirscht 14 , mostrou que as mulheres com idade inferior a 55 anos e os respondentes com menos escolaridade deram grande ênfase à suscetibilidade (probabilidade de ter as doenças), não se observando relação entre renda e opinião para esse fator; quanto à gravidade, o câncer foi considerado de forma homogênea, independentemente da idade, sexo, educação e nível de renda. Em seu trabalho, Loyola 18 menciona que gerações mais jovens, com maior escolaridade valorizariam mais os conhecimentos da medicina oficial, tendendo a procurar o médico mais do que as pessoas idosas.…”
