“…Those who were aged 20-30 years were more likely to be in stage 1 and 2 (for the adoption of mammography), while those who were aged 40-50 years were more likely to be in stage 6 and 7. This is consistent with previous studies (Lee et al, 2010;Samah and Ahmadian, 2012) showing that older women were more likely to exhibit breast health-related behaviors than younger women. This may be explained by the fact that women over 40 years old have access to preventive breast health care, through breast cancer screening during life in transition provided by the National Health Insurance Corporation (2009).…”

Background: It has been proven that an individuals health behavior is determined through a series of processes. This study aimed to assess the stages of adoption of breast cancer screening, and to identify the factors relating to progress through these stages. Materials and Methods: There were 202 female participants aged 20-59 years who were living in Chungbuk, South Korea. They were informed of the study purpose and agreed to participate. Data were collected from October 2010 to January 2011 by assessing the breast cancer screening stage, health beliefs, socio-demographic factors, and other facilitating factors. The participant current stage of adoption of breast cancer screening was classified using the Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM), and the various PAPM stages were compared with each other to identify factors likely to determine progress between stages. The data were analyzed using the χ2-test, ANOVA, Duncan test, and multiple logistic regression. Results:Approximately half of all participants were not on-schedule for breast self-examination and mammography (unaware, 9.4% and 11.4%, unengaged, 8.4% and 5.0%, undecided, 20.3% and 17.8%, decided not to act, 1.5% and 1.0%, decided to act, 13.4% and 15.3%, respectively). The factors likely to determine the progress from one stage to another were age, marital status, exposure to media information about breast cancer, self-efficacy, and perceived severity. Conclusions: These results suggest that it is necessary to develop a tailored message for breast cancer screening behavior.

“…In considering the influence of individual factors, it is important to remember that breast self‐examination is only one health behavior. In light of the study that reported a correlation between health behavior and health belief, and the effect on smoking among middle‐aged women (Lee et al ., 2010), it seems necessary to examine the correlation between overall health behaviors.…”

This study examined the practice of breast self-examination and knowledge of breast cancer among female university students in Korea. This was a cross-sectional descriptive study. The participants were 2186 female university students in Korea. The Breast Cancer and Heredity Knowledge Scale was used. The collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, χ(2)-test, t-test, ANOVA, and logistic regression. Twenty-seven percent of students reported engaging in breast self-examination. The participants displayed a medium-level score (total score: 5.33 ± 2.70, range: 0-11) on knowledge about breast cancer. Predictors for breast self-examination were age (odds ratio = 1.15, P < 0.001), major (odds ratio = 1.80, P < 0.001), and knowledge of breast cancer (odds ratio = 1.16, P < 0.001). This study was the sole nationwide-scale research that examined the practice of breast self-examination, related factors, and knowledge of breast cancer among female university students, as a representative sample of young Korean women. The results are valuable in developing educational programs that can increase knowledge related to breast cancer, as well as the practice of breast self-examination, to support health promotion among young women.

“…The cohort included women from small rural towns located in the southeastern peninsula of Korea. Details of the sample registry have been described in a previous article (Lee, Kim, Kim, Kim, et al, 2010). The institutional review board of the Wonju College of Medicine at Yonsei University in the Republic of Korea approved the study.…”

“…That lower mammography rate could result in overweight and mildly obese women having a delay in cancer detection and an increase in breast cancer mortality. In addition, overall breast cancer screening rates in Korea are low, at 63% for mammography, 55% for clinical breast examination (CBE), and 58% for breast self-examination (BSE), with only 32% of women following all three recommended breast cancer screening strategies for their age group (Lee, Kim, & Kim, 2010). Although ACS (2011) guidelines identify BSE as optional, it continues to be recommended in Korea, in part because the country's rural populations have much lower access to clinics than urban-living individuals, and 70% of patients with breast cancer in Korea have reported finding breast abnormalities by themselves, rather than at clinic visits (NCIC, 2012a).…”
