“…Similar to our study, Russell and colleagues (65) determined that perceived benefits was not influential on routine mammography screening and that only low barriers increased mammography rates. In another study, there was no correlation between perceived benefits and mammography behavior, while a low barrier was reported to be effective in mammography (62).…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess practice of breast cancer early diagnosis methods among women and the factors associated with this practice. Materials and Methods:The population of this cross-sectional study consisted of 410,377 women over the age of 20, living within the administrative borders of Samsun province. Stratified systematic sampling was used in the selection of the 800-member sample. The Health Belief Model Scale, a questionnaire consisting of open and closed-ended questions, was used to elicit women's demographic data and determine their awareness on early diagnostic techniques. The questionnaires were administered face-to-face by visiting individuals' addresses.Results: 80.5% of women had knowledge on breast self-examination (BSE). 12.6% of the women who were aware of BSE stated that they regularly performed BSE. 30.4% of women had clinical breast examination (CBE) by health personnel at least once, while 36.8% of women over 40 years of age obtained mammography at least once. Factors associated with women's performance of BSE were age, having received education about breast health, perception of severity, barriers for BSE and self-efficacy. Factors affecting CBE included age, presence of history of breast cancer in a relative or friend, having received education about breast health; while factors associated with women's undergoing mammography were identified as age, a family member with a history of breast cancer and barriers for mammography. Conclusion:Determination of the factors associated with practice of breast cancer early diagnosis methods, and implementation of planned training programs based on these results is important in increasing compliance with these methods.

“…The same study determined a negative, weak, and insignificant (r = -0.29) relation between the perceived sensitivity and having mammography (39). However, there are also studies asserting that there is no significant relation between the perceived sensitivity and having mammography (14,40). The fact that the sensitivity perception was high in the present study might have been caused by the women considering themselves at risk simply due to being women.…”

“…In our study, we determined that illiterate single women without health insurance who did not have a history of mammography had a higher barrier perception. In their 5-year study, Russell et al (40) examined the effect of health beliefs on the frequency of having mammography, finding that participation in screenings was associated with the participants' educational level. In a study performed with Chinese-American women aged 40-85 years, Yu and Wu stated that access to medical services, perceived barrier, and information search behavior were all effective for promoting the use of mammography services (45).…”

Background/aim: Women's fears and health beliefs impact their participation in early breast cancer diagnosis approaches. This study was conducted to determine the health beliefs and fear levels of women older than 50 regarding mammography. Materials and methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in Turkey. The study cohort consisted of 300 women selected by cluster sampling who agreed to participate in the study. A health belief model scale and breast cancer fear scale were used in data collection. Descriptive statistics, t-test, chi-square test, and correlation analysis were used in the data analysis.Results: Participants had an age average of 59.88 ± 6.49 years, and 86.3% were illiterate. Only 34.7% of women stated that they had had a mammogram in the past. The women's average scores on the lower dimensions of the health belief model scale were determined as follows: 6.52 ± 2.81 for sensitivity perception, 18.49 ± 5.22 for seriousness perception, 16.80 ± 4.31 for health motivation perception, 15.83 ± 3.89 for mammography benefit perception, and 28.74 ± 8.35 for mammography barrier perception. The score average of the breast cancer fear scale was determined as 23.81 ± 9.71. Conclusion:We observed that women's health beliefs and breast cancer fear levels impacted their participation in mammography.

“…While those who perceived themselves "not at all likely" to develop CKD may have been less likely to adhere to prescribed therapies due to a lack of perceived need, persons who perceived themselves as "very likely" to develop CKD may have had fatalistic attitudes about the benefit of adherence on adverse outcomes. Studies in other areas have demonstrated fatalistic attitudes regarding the inevitability of disease may contribute to poor adherence rates [31][32][33][34] and that persons who perceive their ability to control their health are better able to adhere to medical regimens for chronic illnesses. [35][36][37] Greater perceptions of risk might also be associated with other attitudes we did not measure (e.g.…”

Perceived Susceptibility to Chronic Kidney Disease among High-risk Patients Seen in Primary Care Practices

et al. 2009

BACKGROUND: Patients' views of their risk for the development or progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are poorly characterized.OBJECTIVE: To assess perceived risk and concern regarding CKD development or progression among high-risk patients seen in primary care, identify predictors of perceptions, and correlate perceptions with adherence to high blood pressure management. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS:Cross-sectional study of 195 patients enrolled in a randomized controlled trial on hypertension management in 40 Maryland primary care practices. MEASUREMENTS:We assessed independent predictors (sociodemographics, health literacy, clinical presence of CKD, co-morbid conditions, and health behaviors) of perceived susceptibility (assessed via questionnaire) and adherence (assessed via Hill-Bone blood pressure adherence scale) in multivariable analyses. MAIN RESULTS:In this hypertensive majority African American (63%) population, many participants had uncontrolled blood pressure (44%) or diabetes (42%). Few (20%) felt "very likely" to develop CKD and one third (33%) were "very concerned" about developing CKD. Participants who were female and had low health literacy had lower perceived susceptibility to CKD compared to males and those with higher health literacy. Race and diabetes were also associated with perceived susceptibility. Greater perceived susceptibility was associated with poorer blood pressure management adherence scores.CONCLUSIONS: Many high-risk patients have low perceived susceptibility to CKD. Poor blood pressure therapy adherence scores among those with greatest perceived susceptibility suggest fatalistic attitudes about CKD. If our findings are confirmed in larger studies, interventions targeting patient perceptions of CKD risk and other attitudes associated with these perceptions could impact adherence to therapies and health outcomes.
