Practice theoretical approach on the reasons why target group women refrain from taking breast cancer screening

Existing Health Practices in Shaping the Decision to Participate During Breast Cancer Screening Among 50–69 Years Old Women in Estonia

“…Research on chronically ill people ( Lubi, 2019 ) showed that readiness to make the changes in daily (including health-related) practices is impossible if they are not gradual and after continuation with old practices, which indicates the persistent nature of existing (health) practices. Also, earlier qualitative research studies involving women as a target group and exploring reasons for non-participation in BCS indicated the importance of existing health-related habits in determining BCS participation related decision ( Lubi, Savicka, et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Treatment delays involve potential abandonment or discontinuation of treatment and are related to individual choices ( Foroozani et al, 2020 ) and actions as well as systemic problems ( Hanna et al, 2020 ). Earlier research revealed several factors that contribute to BCS participation including outlined socio-demographic variables such as younger age or higher education ( Glanz et al, 1992 ; Henry et al, 2014 ; Lee et al, 2010 ; Willems & Bracke, 2018 ), provider-patient communication ( Clark & Reeves, 2015 ), social determinants of health such as low literacy, lack of awareness, health insurance, and so on ( Gesink et al, 2016 ), fear and other emotional reasons ( Clark & Reeves, 2015 ; Gesink et al, 2016 ; Lubi, Savicka, et al, 2021 ), personal practical issues ( Lubi, Savicka, et al, 2021 ; Valent et al, 2020 ) as well as existing health practices ( Lubi, Savicka, et al, 2021 ) which might hinder participation decision in BCS. While many of these aspects are investigated previously, the role of existing health practices is not widely explored.…”

“…Based on the example of qualitative interviews, we previously identified that in the context of screening participation, the role of health practices in the screening participation decision is expressed as practical (e.g., time, access, etc.) as well as habitual (e.g., during childhood acquired skills and habits to manage health issues or communicate with the medical system in general) constraints ( Lubi, Savicka, et al, 2021 ). It was shown that in particular situations, the approach of health practices allows for detecting “the emergent and contingent properties of people's activities” ( Cohn, 2014 ).…”

Faktor Sosiobudaya yang Menghambat Perilaku Skrining Kanker Payudara pada Wanita: Systematic Review

“…Pengalaman wanita lain saat menjalani skrining kanker payudara diyakini kebenarannya oleh wanita lain tanpa memroses kembali informasi tersebut (23).

“…"Nah, hal lain di komunitas Afrika-Amerika Anda tahu pepatah lama yang Anda potong, itu akan menyebar jadi kami tidak memotong", dan "budaya kami, Anda memotong, itu menyebar." (22).
