“…Although breast cancer family history was significantly related to providers and friends among non-Hispanic college women, it was not related to providers and friends among Hispanic college women. The results suggest further research to explore cultural differences for the prominent role that friends or providers play in breast cancer prevention and social support [23,24]. One possible explanation is that Hispanic college women may discuss breast cancer with their friends which may strengthen the ability for Hispanic college women to communicate with their providers about breast cancer.…”

“…Another possible explanation is that younger non-Hispanic college women may have younger mothers than older non-Hispanic college women. Health communication about certain topics may indicate generational or cultural differences of acceptance [22][23][24]. In addition, future research may explore mother's communication as information source after a breast cancer diagnosis since it may be assumed that breast cancer information is always shared with daughters [20].…”

“…Mass media channels as source selections for college women may include the Internet, magazines, and television [17][18][19]. Interpersonal source selections may include cancer prevention communication from mothers [20][21][22], providers [23], and friends [24]. With increasing mobile technology use and Internet access, college women have readily available online breast cancer prevention information.…”

Breast Cancer Prevention Knowledge, Beliefs, and Information Sources Between Non-Hispanic and Hispanic College Women for Risk Reduction Focus

Although growing research focuses on breast cancer screenings, little is known about breast cancer prevention with risk reduction awareness for ethnic differences among college-age women. This study examined breast cancer prevention knowledge, beliefs, and information sources between non-Hispanic and Hispanic college women. Using a cross-sectional study, women at a university in the Southwest completed a 51-item survey about breast cancer risk factors, beliefs, and media and interpersonal information sources. The study was guided by McGuire's Input Output Persuasion Model. Of the 546 participants, non-Hispanic college women (n = 277) and Hispanic college women (n = 269) reported similar basic knowledge levels of modifiable breast cancer risk factors for alcohol consumption (52 %), obesity (72 %), childbearing after age 35 (63 %), and menopausal hormone therapy (68 %) using bivariate analyses. Most common information sources were Internet (75 %), magazines (69 %), provider (76 %) and friends (61 %). Least common sources were radio (44 %), newspapers (34 %), and mothers (36 %). Non-Hispanic college women with breast cancer family history were more likely to receive information from providers, friends, and mothers. Hispanic college women with a breast cancer family history were more likely to receive information from their mothers. Breast cancer prevention education for college women is needed to include risk reduction for modifiable health behavior changes as a new focus. Health professionals may target college women with more information sources including the Internet or apps.

“…Affective factors involve trust, emotional adjustment, fear, anxiety, and possible feelings of shame. Trusted information sources, primarily those medical and social connections that were strong before CC questions arose, have a great deal of influence on affective responses (Casillas et al, 2011;Hill and Gick, 2013;Krieger et al, 2011;Miller-Ott and Durham, 2011;Ratanasiripong et al, 2013).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to present a three-part framework of information engagement for situated gynecological cancers. These particular cancers intertwine with medicalization of sexuality and gender power dynamics, situating information behaviors and interactions in women's socio-health perceptions. Using Kavanagh and Broom's feminist risk framework, the framework establishes functional and temporal parameters for sense-making and information engagement. Design/methodology/approach -This paper employs a structured, reiterative literature review with emergent thematic analysis. Nine indices from medicine, information studies, and sociology were searched using combinations of five terms on cervical cancer (CC) and 14 terms on information engagement in the title, abstract, and subject fields. Results were examined on a reiterative basis to identify emergent themes pertaining to knowledge development and information interactions. Findings -Environmentally, social stigma and gender roles inhibit information seeking; normalizing CC helps integrate medical, moral, and sexual information. Internally, living with the dichotomy between "having" a body and "being" a body requires high-trust information resources that are presented gradually. Actively, choosing to make or cede medical decision-making requires personally relevant information delivered in the form of concrete facts and explanations. Research limitations/implications -The study covers only one country. Originality/value -This study's information framework and suggestions for future research encourage consideration of gender power dynamics, medicalization of sexuality, and autonomy in women's health information interactions.

“…Unsolicited advice tends to be seen as inappropriate or unhelpful (Boutin-Foster, 2005; B. Feng & MacGeorge, 2006; Miller-Ott & Durham, 2011; Servaty-Seib & Burleson, 2007), and is thus likely to be met with resistance from its recipient (Coyne et al, 1988; Fitzsimons & Lehmann, 2004; Heritage & Sefi, 1992; Riccioni, Bongelli, & Zuczkowski, 2014) and may even exacerbate advice recipients’ stress, depression, and loneliness (for a review, see Rafaeli & Gleason, 2009). In addition to hurting the advice recipient, unsolicited, premature advice can damage the interpersonal relationship between the advice giver and the advice recipient and make it less likely that the advice recipient would seek support from the advice giver at a later time (Amy, Aalborg, Lyons, & Keranen, 2006).…”

Relationship closeness predicts unsolicited advice giving in supportive interactions

Advice is a common element of supportive interactions, but unsolicited advice can harm the advice recipient as well as the relationship between the advice recipient and the advice giver. Despite the potential negative implications of unsolicited advice, very little is known about what predicts unsolicited advice giving in personal relationships. The present studies provide an empirical test of the association between relational closeness and unsolicited advice giving. In two studies, undergraduate students and members of the general population responded to hypothetical statements of discontent from friends who were not asking for advice. Relational closeness and unsolicited advice giving were positively correlated, with participants tending to provide more unsolicited advice to friends toward whom they felt greater relational closeness. Overall, participants gave unsolicited advice to their friends at a very early stage of a supportive interaction in approximately 70% of cases. Explanations and implications for these findings were discussed.
