This study examines the breast cancer screening behaviors of Korean American women focusing on their cultural beliefs and access to health care. A total of 111 Korean American women participated in the cross-sectional survey research. Korean American women who felt embarrassed about breast cancer screenings were less likely to have received clinical breast exams or mammograms. Implications to culturally competent social work practice in promoting their breast cancer screening behaviors are discussed.
本研究考察韩裔美国女性的乳腺癌筛查行为，重点关注她们的文化信仰和医疗保健可及性。共有111名韩裔美国女性参与了这项横断面调查研究。对乳腺癌筛查感到尴尬的韩裔美国女性接受临床乳房检查或乳房X光检查的可能性较小。本文讨论了在促进她们的乳腺癌筛查行为方面，对具有文化胜任力的社会工作实践的启示。
