“…The generated beliefs are difficult to socially eradicate and once established, may affect the assistance programs of early detection, as for example with the myth that cancer is deadly (5,7) . Although studies report that the fear of the disease or its diagnosis and intervention is one of the major sociocultural barriers, among women this aspect has not been identified (3,5,27) .The organizational barriers reported by women during the period of investigation, should be considered both by managers as by health professionals in the planning and organization of primary care, as well as by continuing education programs. These barriers create delays in diagnosis and treatment implementation (3,10) .…”

DESCRIPTORES Mujeres Neoplasías de la mama Acceso a los Servicios de Salud Diagnóstico tardío Enfermería oncológica ABSTRACTObjective: Identifying the barriers in the access to health care to breast cancer perceived by women undergoing chemotherapy. Method: An exploratory descriptive study. The sample consisted of 58 women with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy and registered in the public oncology ambulatory of Aracaju-Sergipe. Data collection was carried out between October 2011 and March 2012 by semistructured interviews, and data were processed using the SPSS, version 17. Results: Among the interviewed women, 37 (63.8%) reported at least a barrier in the trajectory of care for breast cancer. The organizational and health services barriers were the most reported in the periods of investigation and treatment of breast cancer. Conclusion: In face of these findings, the barriers should be considered in public health policies and programs for the control of breast cancer in Sergipe. DESCRIPTORS INTRODUCTIONBreast cancer has become a public health problem worldwide. In 2008, the estimate was of 1,380 new cases and 458,000 deaths from breast cancer. Among these, approximately 59% occurred in countries of low and middle income (1) . Most cases diagnosed in developing countries are in more advanced stages of the disease, which complicates treatment (2)(3)(4)(5) . Barriers to access to health services, incomplete or missing information, difficulties in infrastructure, socioeconomic, ethnic and geographical conditions are some of the problems that lead to delay in diagnosis, both from other diseases as neoplasms (3,5) .Breast cancer, when detected at early stages, has the best prognosis and ensures lower costs to the health system (6) . Due to do this fact, the access to health services is of paramount importance, and goes beyond the mere availability of resources, resulting from a combination of factors, such as favor...

“…Une femme sur quatre « ne souhaite pas subir trop souvent d'irradiation » : 15 % craignent un cancer radio-induit lié à la ré pé tition des mammographies et 16 % des femmes « n'appré cient pas que l'on s'occupe de leur santé », associant cette invitation à une intrusion dans leur libre arbitre. Ces é lé ments confirment la né cessité d'une information claire au sujet de cet acte mé dical qui parait peu anodin pour les femmes, une autre é tude soulignant la vision né gative de la mammographie par les patientes ne participant pas au dé pistage [7].…”

“…Social networks can influence individuals' behavior by circulating information and beliefs on the effectiveness of recommended health behavior (Berkman and Glass, 2000). Beliefs and knowledge about breast cancer screening have been shown to be key determinants of mammography utilization (Dündar et al, 2006;Ferrat et al, 2013;Grunfeld et al, 2002;Lagerlund et al, 2000;Rakhshkhorshid et al, 2018). In addition, evidence shows that social network measured as the number of contact with family and friends as well as emotional social support (i.e., having someone to discuss personal concerns with) have a positive influence on mammography participation (Jensen et al, 2015).…”

Does retirement affect secondary preventive care use? Evidence from breast cancer screening

Population ageing is expected to increase the burden of non-communicable diseases, e.g., cardiovascular diseases and cancer. These diseases are amenable to prevention, such as lifestyle changes (primary prevention) and early detection (secondary prevention), and thus prevention is considered to be one of the keys to maintaining the health of an ageing population. This paper examines the causal impact of retirement on secondary preventive care use. While we focus on breast cancer screening, we also provide evidence for other types of screening such as cervical cancer screening. We use five waves of data from the Eurobarometer surveys conducted between 1996 and 2006, covering 25 different European countries. We address the endogeneity of retirement by using age thresholds for pension eligibility as instrumental variables. We find that retirement reduces secondary preventive care use. This effect is not driven by changes in health or income. Instead, our evidence suggests that generosity of the social health insurance system and women's beliefs concerning cancer prevention and treatment are important mechanisms.JEL codes: I12, I18, J26, C26
