Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To qualitatively evaluate the views of Haitian immigrants on cancer and the influence of cultural and socio-ecological factors on cancer screening behavior.

METHODS

Six focus groups, consisting of 4-10 individuals each, were conducted among Haitian adults at average risk for colorectal cancer. The interviews were conducted in Haitian Creole and featured questions that addressed beliefs and attitudes about general health, access to health care, colon cancer, and screening practices.

RESULTS

The focus groups provided insight into the health service utilization patterns in the Haitian community, as well as the factors driving them including language and the pattern of accessing healthcare only for emergencies.

CONCLUSIONS

Many misconceptions regarding cancer and its development were evident in the discussions. However participants were willing to follow the recommendations of a physician. This highlighted the importance in this community of disseminating information at every opportunity about preventative care, including colorectal cancer screening.

摘要

目的

定性评估海地移民对癌症的看法以及文化和社会生态因素对癌症筛查行为的影响。

方法

对平均有患结直肠癌风险的海地成年人进行了6个焦点小组访谈,每个小组由4至10人组成。访谈以海地克里奥尔语进行,提出了关于一般健康、医疗保健获取、结肠癌和筛查做法的信念及态度等问题。

结果

焦点小组提供了对海地社区卫生服务利用模式的见解,以及驱动这些模式的因素,包括语言和仅在紧急情况下获取医疗保健的模式。

结论

讨论中明显存在许多关于癌症及其发展的误解。然而,参与者愿意听从医生的建议。这凸显了在这个社区抓住一切机会传播包括结直肠癌筛查在内的预防保健信息的重要性。
