Book Description
Individual attitudes and perceptions are seen as the basis for determining health screening behavior. Preventive behavior is also influenced by factors acting at the individual and community levels. Interventions are likely to be more effective when they address determinants at all levels because significant and dynamic interrelationships exist among different levels of health determinants. The following papers identify structural, organizational, and sociocultural influences that may preclude women from using preventive health care, specifically breast-screening services, and affect individual attitudes toward breast cancer screening. The Evaluation of a Breast Cancer Screening Program in Nigeria examines the objectives and resources of a nonprofits breast cancer screening program to determine if its expectations are realistic and achievable within its current in the context. The Association of Chronic Diseases and Mammography among Medicare Beneficiaries Living in Appalachia examines the associations between the number and prevalence of chronic health conditions and adherence to breast screening guidelines among Medicare beneficiaries in four Appalachian states. Breast Cancer Screening and Health Care System Distrust by Race and Nativity in Philadelphia examines the influence of health care system distrust on breast cancer screening utilization among residents of southeast Pennsylvania by race and nativity. These studies offer a socioecological view of attitudes and perceptions toward uptake of mammograms in three different populations. These attitudes, whether perceived or actual, act as barriers that prevent vulnerable women in multicultural societies from using breast cancer screening services. A better understanding of these womens perceptions and beliefs allows for sustainable macro and micro level approaches to lowering barriers and achieving greater participation of women from minority or other disadvantaged social groups in breast cancer programs.

ISBN: 0739185160
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
Health Communication and Breast Cancer among Black Women: Culture, Identity, Spirituality, and Strength addresses how the discourse of strength constructs the identity of Black women even during times of chronic illness through the lens of Black feminist thought and womanist ideology. In doing so, Madlock Gatison explores how the narratives surrounding pink ribbon awareness and survivorship culture, religion and spirituality, and the myth of the strong Black woman impact Black female breast cancer survivors’ self-perceptions, views others had of them, and their ability to express their needs and concerns including those involving their healthcare. This book will be of interest to scholars of public health, health communication, and sociology.
