Cancer survivors' screening participation is important to prevent cancer recurrence and to maintain health for the growing number of Hispanic cancer survivors.
Using a case comparison study design, data from a survey of Hispanic breast (n = 54) and cervical cancer (n = 58) survivors were analyzed by bivariate analysis.
Knowledge of screening guidelines was low for all participants, especially regarding cervical cancer screening. Breast cancer survivors were most knowledgeable. Although survivors held positive cancer attitudes, participation in preventive cancer screening was low indicating the need for more effective cancer prevention communication processes.
Hispanic cancer survivors need culturally sensitive cancer prevention education and the associated communication processes that acknowledges differences among the varying Hispanic subgroups.
对于越来越多的西班牙裔癌症幸存者而言，参与癌症筛查对于预防癌症复发和保持健康非常重要。
采用病例对照研究设计，通过双变量分析对一项针对西班牙裔乳腺癌幸存者（n = 54）和宫颈癌幸存者（n = 58）的调查数据进行分析。
所有参与者对筛查指南的知晓率较低，尤其是宫颈癌筛查方面。乳腺癌幸存者的知晓率最高。尽管幸存者对癌症持积极态度，但预防性癌症筛查的参与率较低，这表明需要更有效的癌症预防沟通流程。
西班牙裔癌症幸存者需要具有文化敏感性的癌症预防教育以及承认不同西班牙裔亚群体之间差异的相关沟通流程。
