OBJECTIVES
To determine the extent of utilization of cancer screening services by Vietnamese in Hawaii, who had sought medical care from 1996 through 2000.
METHODS
A chart review of 952 adult Vietnamese patients was performed.
RESULTS
Of all eligible women, 52% and 26% had Papanicolaou test and mammogram, respectively. Among men age 45 and over, 8.4% had prostate-specific antigen test and 3.4% had digital rectal exam. Flexible sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy were not utilized by patients.
CONCLUSIONS
This is the first study to examine the use of cancer screening tests by Vietnamese immigrants in Hawaii. Our findings of lower utilization rates in cancer screening by both male and female strongly support efforts to educate and promote preventive health for this population.
目的
确定1996年至2000年期间在夏威夷寻求医疗护理的越南人对癌症筛查服务的利用程度。
方法
对952名成年越南患者进行病历审查。
结果
在所有符合条件的女性中，分别有52%和26%进行了巴氏试验和乳房X光检查。在45岁及以上的男性中，8.4%进行了前列腺特异性抗原检测，3.4%进行了直肠指检。患者未使用乙状结肠镜检查和结肠镜检查。
结论
这是第一项研究夏威夷越南移民对癌症筛查测试使用情况的研究。我们关于男性和女性癌症筛查利用率较低的研究结果有力地支持了为这一人群开展健康教育和促进预防性健康的努力。
