Breast cancer (BC) has a high mortality rate in developing countries due to a scarcity of early detection. Risk communication is critical to support women who face the decision to undertake BC screening. Thus, they can balance their perceived and real risk, and make informed choices.
To describe experts' views on how the provision of information related to BC screening should be made.
A qualitative study with focus groups with national experts was conducted. Open coding was performed.
Four categories on the way information about BC screening should be provided emerged: to communicate about the need of the exam; the pros and cons of the test; fear as a barrier for understanding; and involving women in the decision-making process.
These findings emphasize the need to include risk communication strategies in the patient-provider relationship and encourage and respect women's autonomy when facing the BC screening decision.
由于早期检测手段匮乏，乳腺癌在发展中国家具有较高的死亡率。风险沟通对于支持面临乳腺癌筛查决策的女性至关重要。这样，她们能够权衡感知到的风险和实际风险，并做出明智的选择。
描述专家对于应如何提供与乳腺癌筛查相关信息的看法。
对国家专家进行了焦点小组定性研究，并进行了开放式编码。
出现了关于应如何提供乳腺癌筛查信息的四类情况：传达检查的必要性；检查的利弊；恐惧作为理解的障碍；以及让女性参与决策过程。
这些发现强调了在医患关系中纳入风险沟通策略的必要性，并在面对乳腺癌筛查决策时鼓励和尊重女性的自主权。
