To develop effective interventions to increase cervical cancer screening among Latinas, we should understand the role of cultural factors, such as time perspective, in the decision to be screened. We examined the relation between present time orientation, future time orientation, and self-reported cervical cancer screening among Latinas. A group of 206 Latinas completed a survey measuring factors associated with screening. Logistic regression analyses revealed that future time orientation was significantly associated with self-reported screening. Understanding the influence of time orientation on cervical cancer screening will assist us in developing interventions that effectively target time perspective and screening.
为了制定有效的干预措施以提高拉丁裔女性的宫颈癌筛查率,我们应该了解文化因素,如时间观念,在筛查决策中的作用。我们研究了当下时间取向、未来时间取向与拉丁裔女性自我报告的宫颈癌筛查之间的关系。一组206名拉丁裔女性完成了一项测量与筛查相关因素的调查。逻辑回归分析显示,未来时间取向与自我报告的筛查显著相关。了解时间取向对宫颈癌筛查的影响将有助于我们制定有效针对时间观念和筛查的干预措施。
