Variables derived from the Health Belief Model (HBM) were studied in relation to breast self-examination (BSE) performance, which was measured in terms of both frequency and thoroughness. Data were collected from 202 adult women via self-administered questionnaires. Susceptibility and Seriousness were combined to form a "threat of breast cancer" variable, and two approaches were used to compute "net perceived efficacy of BSE." However, barriers and susceptibility in their original form explained more variance in BSE practice than did the combined variables. The negative relationship found between perceived barriers and BSE performance (r = -.44) is consistent with previous findings. Implications for research and practice are presented.
对源自健康信念模型（HBM）的变量与乳房自我检查（BSE）行为进行了研究，乳房自我检查行为通过频率和彻底程度来衡量。通过自填问卷从202名成年女性中收集了数据。将易感性和严重性合并形成一个“患乳腺癌的威胁”变量，并使用两种方法计算“乳房自我检查的净感知效能”。然而，原始形式的障碍和易感性比合并后的变量能解释更多乳房自我检查行为的差异。感知到的障碍与乳房自我检查行为之间的负相关关系（r = -0.44）与先前的研究结果一致。文章还阐述了对研究和实践的启示。
