This study assessed the relationship between Deaf women's internal health locus of control (IHLC) and their cervical cancer knowledge acquisition and retention. A blind, randomized trial evaluated Deaf women's (N = 130) baseline cancer knowledge and knowledge gained and retained from an educational intervention, in relation to their IHLC. The Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scales measured baseline IHLC, and a cervical cancer knowledge survey evaluated baseline to post-intervention knowledge change. Women's IHLC did not significantly predict greater cervical cancer knowledge at baseline or over time. IHLC does not appear to be a characteristic that must be considered when creating Deaf women's cancer education programs.
本研究评估了失聪女性的内部健康控制点（IHLC）与其宫颈癌知识获取和保留之间的关系。一项盲法随机试验评估了失聪女性（N = 130）的基线癌症知识以及从教育干预中获得和保留的知识，并将其与她们的IHLC相关联。多维健康控制点量表测量了基线IHLC，宫颈癌知识调查评估了从基线到干预后的知识变化。女性的IHLC在基线时或随时间推移并未显著预测出更多的宫颈癌知识。在制定失聪女性癌症教育项目时，IHLC似乎并非一个必须考虑的特征。
