A breast cancer screening education program was offered to 97 major worksites in Forsyth County, North Carolina. Worksites could design a program by choosing components that consisted of (1) brochures, (2) breast cancer education classes taught by program staff or (3) sending company nurses to be trained by program staff to then teach employees at the worksite. A total of 63 out of the original 97 companies (65%) accepted and offered a program to their employees. Worksites that chose to sponsor a program were more likely to have already sponsored breast cancer education programs at their worksites (P = 0.027) or to have a medical department (P = 0.006). The type of component selected was significantly associated with a history of sponsoring other health education programs (P < 0.001). Fourteen worksites chose the more intensive component, the training of a company nurse. More than half of the worksites that had never sponsored and had no plans to sponsor worksite breast education programs were receptive to our program (43 of 73, 59%). The majority of these sites (67%) chose the brochure. These results indicate that worksites are receptive to offering breast cancer educational programs if varying types of components can be selected.
北卡罗来纳州福赛斯县的97个主要工作场所都参与了一项乳腺癌筛查教育项目。各工作场所可以通过选择以下组成部分来设计项目:(1)宣传册;(2)由项目工作人员讲授的乳腺癌教育课程;(3)派遣公司护士接受项目工作人员的培训,然后由其在工作场所向员工授课。最初的97家公司中共有63家(65%)接受并为员工提供了该项目。选择赞助该项目的工作场所更有可能此前已在其工作场所赞助过乳腺癌教育项目(P = 0.027)或设有医疗部门(P = 0.006)。所选组成部分的类型与赞助其他健康教育项目的历史显著相关(P < 0.001)。14个工作场所选择了更深入的组成部分,即对公司护士进行培训。超过一半从未赞助且没有计划赞助工作场所乳腺癌教育项目的工作场所对我们的项目持接受态度(73个中的43个,59%)。这些场所中的大多数(67%)选择了宣传册。这些结果表明,如果可以选择不同类型的组成部分,工作场所愿意提供乳腺癌教育项目。
