The purpose of this research was to identify the relationships of attitudes about breast self-examination and breast cancer to the frequency of breast self-examination. The health belief model was used as a theoretical base. Likert scales were developed for the independent variables of susceptibility, seriousness, benefit, barriers, and health motivation; the dependent variable was frequency of breast self-examination. A convenience sample of 301 women was drawn from a large metropolitan city. Self-administered questionnaires contained the developed scales, a measure of frequency of breast self-examination, and demographic variables. Results supported the health belief model's prediction of frequency of breast self-examination (R = .51; p less than or equal to .01). In addition, the variables of seriousness, benefits, barriers, and health motivation discriminated groupings according to frequency of breast self-examination. Results support the relationship of the health belief model variable to the behavior of breast self-examination Nursing implications are discussed.
本研究的目的是确定对乳房自我检查和乳腺癌的态度与乳房自我检查频率之间的关系。健康信念模型被用作理论基础。针对易感性、严重性、益处、障碍和健康动机等自变量编制了李克特量表；因变量是乳房自我检查的频率。从一个大城市抽取了301名女性作为便利样本。自行填写的问卷包含所编制的量表、乳房自我检查频率的测量方法以及人口统计学变量。结果支持了健康信念模型对乳房自我检查频率的预测（R = 0.51；p≤0.01）。此外，严重性、益处、障碍和健康动机等变量根据乳房自我检查频率区分了不同组别。结果支持了健康信念模型变量与乳房自我检查行为之间的关系，并讨论了对护理工作的启示。
