Book excerpt: Cervical cancer (CC), although preventable, is a significant cause of deaths among Mexican Immigrant Women (MIW). This study applied the Health Belief Model to MIW and their husbands to (a) explore support provided to MIW from their husbands with varying degrees of CC knowledge, awareness, and understanding of Pap testing; and (b) determine the relationship between MIW's knowledge and health beliefs (susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy) and their screening behaviors. A sample of 110 married couples including MIW were recruited from 2 public community centers. Questionnaires in English and Spanish were administered, including the HPV/Cervical Cancer and Screening Knowledge Scale, Cervical Cancer Screening Self-Efficacy Scale, the Bi-Dimensional Acculturation Scale, and the Spousal Support Scale. It was hypothesized that husbands' support for their wives, and MIW's knowledge, health beliefs (susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy), and perceived spousal support would be positively related to MIW's screening behaviors. However, only MIW's health beliefs of susceptibility and benefits were related to screening behavior in logistic regression analyses. The sample, recruited from community centers that had unusually good services for encouraging health care, may not have been representative of the broad MIW population. On the other hand, the findings added to an understanding of the often complex relationships between perceptions of husbands' support and their wives' CC screening behaviors. The findings also supported the benefits of local well established and resourced community centers. It is hoped that these insights can help shape future research and practice in this vitally important field.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, Latina immigrants have suffered a disproportionate burden of breast and cervical cancer due to lower mammography and Pap smear screening participation. However, a study of the screening rates of Mexican immigrants living in a Chicago neighborhood revealed that not all immigrant communities exhibit low participation rates. The purpose of this two-phase, mixed-method study was to examine the social context in Little Village (LV) that contributes to women0́9s high cancer screening rates. In the first phase of the study, I examined the knowledge, beliefs, attitudes and emotions of 41 Mexican immigrant women regarding breast and cervical cancer (including etiology, symptoms, and prognosis) as well as their screening practices. This quantitative phase revealed that despite having socio-demographic factors placing them at high risk of underutilizing screening services, such as immigrant status, low income, and low levels of formal education, women in LV reported high mammography and Pap smear screening rates, 87% and 95% respectively. In the second phase of the study, I examined the role of place and its influence on screening behaviors. In-depth interviews with six organization and three community representatives revealed that medical, faith-based, and community institutions in LV mitigate barriers related to language access and awareness of resources, which enhance accessibility to screening exams and services. Despite this, some women in LV still face significant barriers to screening adherence such as misinformation about breast and cervical cancer and screening exams. Given the multiple determinants of health behavior and that several known predictors of screening such as access to services and information about early detection are place based, I argue that social context and especially place of residence are critical to our understanding of screening behaviors in this population.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, racial/ethnic disparities in cervical cancer preventive practices exist. Hispanics in the U.S. are the largest and most rapidly growing demographic group, with a population increase four times higher than the general population. Cervical cancer screening rates among the Hispanic women population remain low. Lack of access to the Papanicolaou test (Pap smear test) and follow-up treatment are key factors that help explain the high rates of cervical cancer among Hispanic women compared to those of other races or ethnicities. Current research shows that cervical cancer screening practices are influenced by multiple factors such as cultural beliefs, religiosity, and perceived barriers to cervical cancer screening. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to examine the association between biculturalism, knowledge of cervical cancer screening, religiosity (perceived religiosity to health outcomes and church cohesion) and perceived barriers to cervical cancer screening among churchgoing Hispanic women who are participants in the Fe en Acción /Faith in Action study in San Diego, CA (n=312). The Health Belief Model was used as the theoretical framework to identify modifying factors that influence cervical cancer screening practices. Surveys were administered and information was gathered about their Hispanic women's biculturalism, knowledge about cervical cancer prevention and religiosity (perceived religious influence on health outcomes and church cohesion) and perceived barriers to cervical cancer screening. Linear regression models were used to determine whether there were significant differences among variables. Results from the linear regressions indicated a significant association between knowledge of cervical cancer prevention and the number of perceived barriers to cervical cancer screening. Additionally, one dimension of religiosity "illness as punishment for sin" was significantly associated with the number of perceived barriers to cervical cancer screening.

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.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to add to the body of knowledge about the high rates of cervical cancer among non-immigrant Hispanic women of Mexican origin (NIHWMO). This problem was studied by investigating predictors of Pap smear guideline adherence. The specific aims of this study were to 1) to investigate the effect of acculturation, familism, fatalism, provider trust, cultural congruence, HPV knowledge, and generational level on Pap smear guideline adherence, 2) investigate the moderating effects of acculturation on familism, fatalism, provider trust, cultural congruence, HPV knowledge, and generational level on Pap smear guideline adherence, 3) examine the characteristics of women who have had an abnormal Pap smear result and did not receive the recommended follow-up care, and 4) test the construct of cultural congruence and how it relates to the established construct of provider trust. Logistic regression was used to analyze the results of this descriptive correlational research study. Results of the analysis revealed none of the hypothesized predictor variables had a significant effect on guideline adherence.

Book excerpt: In 2011 over 500,000 women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer worldwide and approximately 250,000 will die of the disease. The majority of incident cases will occur among women who lack routine access to Papalanicolou (Pap) test screening. While access-related factors, such as income and health insurance status, are primary drivers of screening utilization research suggests that a number of individual and contextual social and cultural factors, such as low cervical cancer knowledge, lower educational attainment and non-Western health beliefs can exert an independent or multiplicative effect. Among the immigrant Haitian population of Miami, Florida the incidence of cervical cancer is more than four times greater than that observed in the non-Hispanic White population of Miami-Dade County, Florida and the Pap screening rate is approximately half the national average for U.S. Blacks. The reasons underlying this disparity have not been fully described in this population. This dissertation examines the association between knowledge and screening and evaluates how individual cultural beliefs, the sociocultural environment, and the socioeconomic context of the neighborhoods where these women reside may be upstream determinants of cervical cancer knowledge and Pap screening.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racial and ethnic disparities in health care are known to reflect access to care and other issues that arise from differing socioeconomic conditions. There is, however, increasing evidence that even after such differences are accounted for, race and ethnicity remain significant predictors of the quality of health care received. In Unequal Treatment, a panel of experts documents this evidence and explores how persons of color experience the health care environment. The book examines how disparities in treatment may arise in health care systems and looks at aspects of the clinical encounter that may contribute to such disparities. Patients' and providers' attitudes, expectations, and behavior are analyzed. How to intervene? Unequal Treatment offers recommendations for improvements in medical care financing, allocation of care, availability of language translation, community-based care, and other arenas. The committee highlights the potential of cross-cultural education to improve provider-patient communication and offers a detailed look at how to integrate cross-cultural learning within the health professions. The book concludes with recommendations for data collection and research initiatives. Unequal Treatment will be vitally important to health care policymakers, administrators, providers, educators, and students as well as advocates for people of color.
