BackgroundThe engagement of citizens in the development of evidence-based screening programs is internationally supported. The aim of our research was to explore the motivations and reasons of adult citizens in Austria for attending periodic health examinations (PHE) as well as their satisfaction with the way PHE are organized.MethodsWe conducted three focus groups with a random sample of previous attenders of PHE. Participants were stratified by age, gender, and education. The discussions were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using a thematic analysis approach.ResultsMain motivations of attenders (n = 30) were to detect diseases early, to prevent suffering, and to live a long, healthy life. They believed that PHE work as an incentive of health behavior change. As possible reasons not to attend PHE, participants mentioned lack of awareness, time constraints, unpleasant prior experiences, and fear of harm or negative consequences. They wanted the range of examinations to be selected based on individual risks and to be more comprehensive. Some participants expressed frustration with the lack of time doctors dedicated to the examination or discussion of the results. Throughout the discussion, participants realized there is a great diversity among doctors in the quality of health examinations and how content is delivered.ConclusionThe study showed that attenders of PHE have high expectations concerning the beneficial outcomes of PHE. They requested a comprehensive and individualized program that does not reflect the scientific evidence from effectiveness studies of PHE. These findings indicate serious shortcomings in the communication of benefits and harms of screening interventions and highlight the need for a more proactive communication about aims and content of the program.

Aim Research on the health checkup status of urban residents in Southwest China is limited. In this study, we aimed to investigate the current status of health checkups and explore their influencing factors by analyzing the cognition, attitudes, and practices of urban residents in Southwest China. Methods We sampled 1200 urban residents for a questionnaire survey. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 23, and logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting cognition, attitudes, and practices regarding health checkups. A P value < 0.05 was used to identify variables significantly associated with the outcome variable. Results Overall, 29% of the residents understood the importance of health checkups. The main ways urban residents acquire health-related knowledge are through the use of mobile media and medical staff health education. Only 40% of residents had undergone a regular checkup. Health self-assessment, economic reasons, and time are the factors that interfere with urban residents’ health checkups. Logistic regression analysis showed that occupation status, educational background, self-assessed health status, exercise status, and monthly income level were the common influencing factors of health checkup cognition and planning. Whether residents had participated in a medical checkup program was also related to sex and age. Conclusions Urban residents in Southwest China generally had a high willingness to undergo physical examinations, but there were differences in knowledge and practice; at the same time, residents lacked understanding of respiratory assessments. Improving the health literacy of medical staff, strengthening urban residents’ health education, and enhancing the utilization rate of health checkups in urban residents are necessary and urgent.
