This book was released on 2020 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American (AA) women are at greater risk for cervical cancer incidence and mortality compared to white women, primarily due to lack of screening and follow up. Up to 90% of cervical cancers are caused by persistent Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections and the National Institute for Health (NIH) and Preventative Oncology International (POI) recently developed HPV self-test kits to increase rates of screening among underserved women. This study used the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to examine attitudes, barriers, facilitators, and intentions related to receipt of cervical cancer screening among church-affiliated women and explored perceptions of HPV self-testing to increase access to cervical cancer screening. Thirty-five AA women aged 25 to 53 participated in focus group discussions and completed a brief survey. Seventy-four percent of participants reported receipt of cervical cancer screening in the past three years. Participants demonstrated positive attitudes towards cervical cancer screening and identified healthcare providers and the church as key supportive referents to screening. Participants noted several key barriers to screening, such as financial concerns, trauma histories, and prioritizing their children’s healthcare needs over screening. With regards to HPV self-testing, participants had concerns about their ability to correctly collect the sample as well as result accuracy. Several strategies to mitigate these concerns were discussed. Nearly all participants expressed willingness to use HPV self-testing if they did not have access to traditional medical care. Participants also noted that the church would be an appropriate medium for disseminating HPV self-test kits. Other considerations for future faith-based interventions, such as use of humor and facilitating community connectedness, was also discussed.

This book was released on 2003-05-07 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer ranks second only to heart disease as a leading cause of death in the United States, making it a tremendous burden in years of life lost, patient suffering, and economic costs. Fulfilling the Potential for Cancer Prevention and Early Detection reviews the proof that we can dramatically reduce cancer rates. The National Cancer Policy Board, part of the Institute of Medicine, outlines a national strategy to realize the promise of cancer prevention and early detection, including specific and wide-ranging recommendations. Offering a wealth of information and directly addressing major controversies, the book includes: A detailed look at how significantly cancer could be reduced through lifestyle changes, evaluating approaches used to alter eating, smoking, and exercise habits. An analysis of the intuitive notion that screening for cancer leads to improved health outcomes, including a discussion of screening methods, potential risks, and current recommendations. An examination of cancer prevention and control opportunities in primary health care delivery settings, including a review of interventions aimed at improving provider performance. Reviews of professional education and training programs, research trends and opportunities, and federal programs that support cancer prevention and early detection. This in-depth volume will be of interest to policy analysts, cancer and public health specialists, health care administrators and providers, researchers, insurers, medical journalists, and patient advocates.

Book excerpt: Cancer is the leading cause of death for Hispanics, and cervical cancer incidence is higher (64%) for Hispanics than for non-Hispanic whites. In Texas Hispanic women 50 and older are the lowest screened and present with higher incidence of invasive cervical cancer as compared to non-Hispanic white women. They are diagnosed at a peak age of 65-74, which suggests that Hispanic women need to be screened past the recommended screening age. An estimated 90 million people in the U.S. lack basic literacy skills and low literacy may contribute to low screening. Few studies have addressed the relationship between low health literacy and cervical cancer screening among older women of Mexican-American ancestry. This study sought to uncover the cervical cancer screening beliefs, practices, health literacy, knowledge, and experiences of English and/or Spanish-speaking older women of Mexican-American ancestry. Thirty women participated in focus group or individual interviews in English and/or Spanish. Women 50 years of age or older living in the community were recruited from senior centers in South Texas from a purposeful convenience sample. Data collection was conducted through audio-taped semi-structured interviews following a moderator guide developed using Zarcadoolas, Pleasant, and Greer's (2005) health literacy model. Data were transcribed, analyzed in original language, translated for meaning, aggregated for analysis using qualitative content analysis; matrices were developed and analyzed individually, and then data were aggregated. The Newest Vital Sign, a health literacy tool, was used to partially assess fundamental literacy. Major themes elucidated were (a) Reasons "I don't go" [fundamental literacy], (b), Prevention of cancer and "everything else" [science literacy], (c) We are different, [cultural literacy], (d) There is always "consejos" (advice, messages) [civic literacy], and media literacy, (e) Telenovelas (soap-operas) teach a lot, and (f) Learning from Internet brochures. The study supports a multidimensional model of health literacy and focus group research, accounting for the group's cultural norms, language, and educational preferences. It adds information for nurse clinicians about providing holistic care, for nurse educators regarding communication strategies for diverse older populations, and for researchers to continue developing strategies that improve health literacy and health outcomes for minority older women.

Download or read book Cancer and Elders of Color: Opportunities for Reducing Health Disparities written by John A. Capitman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 2005. The prevention, detection and treatment of cancer has received enormous scientific and clinical attention in the US and in other developed countries. However, there has been no comprehensive review of the racial/ethnic disparities in cancer among elders, nor the opportunities for cancer prevention within the Medicare population. In this important work, John A. Capitman, Sarita Bhalotra and Mathilda Ruwe address this deficiency. The evidence report summarized in this book offers systematic syntheses of prior published research and qualitative assessments of emerging approaches in order to illustrate and clarify some of the debates surrounding cancer disparities. Based on a large-scale US government-funded review of existing literature and case studies of model programs by a multidisciplinary team, this key work: * Provides a comprehensive approach to cancer etiology and prevalence among older people; * Integrates genetic, epidemiological, medical care, health services research and social science interpretive frames and current knowledge for cancer control; * Explores existing research on reduction in cancer risks through lifestyle modification and the potential applicability of this research to elders of color; * Explores the implementation experiences of model programs to reduce cancer care inequalities * Develops a conceptual framework of cancer detection and treatment systems across multiple anatomical cancer sites; * Examines opportunities for screening, treatment and follow-up service enhancement for elders of color; * Fills gaps in current published systematic reviews with respect to older people.

Book excerpt: Background: Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States. A low education level and socioeconomic level are the commonality among women with cervical cancer. The disease affects Latina and African American women the most. Cervical cancer screening is one of the key preventive methods in decreasing cervical cancer rates as a cure rate is high with early detection. The project was conducted in an underserved community with a high population of African Americans and Latinos in Los Angeles, California. EBP Framework: An evidence-based practice model used for the project was "Model for Change to Evidence-Based Practice" by Rosswurm and Larrabee. The model guided the project to improve cervical cancer screening rates. Methods: The project objective included improving the number of cervical cancer screenings among wimen ages between 35 to 44-year-old. Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions approved the project through the Institutional Review Board and determined the project was not human subject research. A convenience sample of nurse practitioners (n=7) was selected and educated on cervical cancer screening and poster reminders within the clinic. The provider's confidence level and knowledge level were assessed using pre- and post- assessments for each. The outcomes were assessed using a chart review of four weeks during pre- and post-intervention. Findings/Results: The number of cervical cancer screenings, the providers' confidence levels, and knowledge levels were assessed during pre- and post-intervention phases. The outcomes suggested that the provider education and poster reminder with the use of the EBP model increased cervical cancer screening rates, the providers' confidence and knowledge levels. Conclusion/Recommendations: The project's outcomes suggested an increase in cervical cancer rates, the providers' knowledge and confidence level on cervical cancer, and the financial benefit of the increased cervical cancer screening rates. The clinic decided to continue using the poster reminders and possibly modify the poster to increase patients' awareness. The clinic is considered periodical provider education sessions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cervical cancer is a malignancy of the cervix. World-wide, it is the second most common cancer of women. It may be present with vaginal bleeding but symptoms may be absent until the cancer is in advanced stages, which has made cervical cancer the focus of intense screening efforts. Most scientific studies point to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection responsible for 90% of the cases of cervical cancer. There are 7 most common types of HPV - 16, 18, 31, 33, 42, 52 and 58. Types 16 and 18 being the most common cause of the cancer. Treatment is with surgery (including local exicision) in early stages and chemotherapy and radiotherapy in advanced stages of the disease. This book presents cutting edge research in this field. This involves, programs for cancer screening, alternative approaches to cervical cancer prevention, HPV/Co-Infections and Host Genetic Profiles, Small Cell Carcinoma of the Uterine Cervix, Indicators of HPV-induced carcinogenesis, functional genomics as a tool for understanding cervical cancer, histone deacetylase inhibitors, Chinese women and cervical cancer and cervical cancer in Northeastern Thailand.
