This article reports findings from a qualitative study that explored the attitudes and beliefs concerning colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among patients and health care providers in Appalachian Kentucky. Results from 5 focus groups are discussed here: 3 with primary care providers and 2 with patients. Although there are some areas of agreement, there are marked differences between the perceptions of Appalachian health care providers and participants regarding CRC screening. This article compares and contrasts those perceptions and provides suggestions for culturally competent practice and culturally relevant research to improve CRC screening in this vulnerable population.
本文报告了一项定性研究的结果，该研究探讨了阿巴拉契亚肯塔基州患者和医疗保健提供者对结直肠癌（CRC）筛查的态度和信念。这里讨论了 5 个焦点小组的结果：3 个与初级保健提供者，2 个与患者。尽管在某些方面存在共识，但阿巴拉契亚医疗保健提供者和参与者对 CRC 筛查的看法存在明显差异。本文比较和对比了这些看法，并为提高这一弱势群体的 CRC 筛查提供了文化上适宜的实践和文化相关研究的建议。
