Reviews have assessed studies of breast and cervical cancer screening access and utilization for rural women, but none analyze interventions to increase screening rates. A mixed methods literature search identified studies of breast and/or cervical cancer prevention education and patient navigation interventions for rural women. Rural areas need greater implementation and evaluation of screening interventions as these services address the challenges of delivering patient-centered cancer care to un-/underserved communities. The lack of intervention studies on breast and cervical cancer education and patient navigation programs compared to urban studies highlights the need for validation of these programs among diverse, rural populations.
已有综述评估了农村女性乳腺癌和宫颈癌筛查的可及性及利用情况的研究，但没有一项分析提高筛查率的干预措施。一项混合方法文献检索确定了针对农村女性的乳腺癌和/或宫颈癌预防教育及患者导航干预措施的研究。农村地区需要更多地实施和评估筛查干预措施，因为这些服务应对了向未得到/服务不足的社区提供以患者为中心的癌症护理的挑战。与城市研究相比，关于乳腺癌和宫颈癌教育及患者导航项目的干预研究较少，这凸显了在不同的农村人群中验证这些项目的必要性。
