To investigate Hmong-American immigrant women's utilization of cervical cancer screening, including the impact of cultural health beliefs on screening use.
Overall, 164 Hmong-American immigrant women 21 to 65 years of age were recruited from a large metropolitan area in the Midwest. We used logistic regression, guided by Andersen's Behavior Model, to examine factors associated with the receipt of Pap test.
About 67.1% had received a Pap test within the last 3 years. Fatalism, modesty, education, and marital status were significantly correlated with receiving a Pap test.
The provision of cervical cancer literacy education and related preventive guidelines to this population are urgently needed to reduce cancer-screening disparity.
调查美籍苗族移民女性宫颈癌筛查的使用情况,包括文化健康观念对筛查使用的影响。
总体而言,从美国中西部一个大都市地区招募了164名年龄在21至65岁之间的美籍苗族移民女性。我们以安德森行为模型为指导,使用逻辑回归来检验与巴氏试验接受情况相关的因素。
在过去3年内,约67.1%的女性接受过巴氏试验。宿命论、谦逊、教育程度和婚姻状况与接受巴氏试验显著相关。
迫切需要向该人群提供宫颈癌知识教育及相关预防指南,以减少癌症筛查差距。
