This qualitative study delves into the facilitators and barriers surrounding cervical cancer prevention among Latina women in Georgia, with a specific focus on the impact of community-based organizations (CBOs). Employing semi-structured interviews with healthcare providers and representatives from CBOs, faith-based organizations, and other key stakeholders, the study uncovers key themes and subthemes shaping cervical cancer disparities. Themes such as challenges in cross-cultural healthcare access, difficulties due to lack of US citizenship, and limited mobility emerge as significant barriers, while community and family support stand out as crucial facilitators to cancer prevention. Additionally, the study examines community intervention methods from CBOs to target cervical cancer disparity, highlighting the importance of public awareness campaigns, building trust within the Latina community, and providing medical support tailored to immigrant populations. Through this comprehensive examination, the study not only offers invaluable insights into the intricate web of issues surrounding cervical cancer prevention but also endeavors to serve as a catalyst for targeted interventions and evidence-based policies aimed at ameliorating cervical cancer disparities among immigrant Latinas in Georgia and beyond.
这项定性研究深入探讨了佐治亚州拉丁裔女性宫颈癌预防工作的促进因素和障碍,特别关注社区组织(CBO)的影响。该研究通过对医疗保健提供者以及社区组织、基于信仰的组织和其他关键利益相关者的代表进行半结构化访谈,揭示了影响宫颈癌差异的关键主题和子主题。跨文化医疗保健获取方面的挑战、因缺乏美国公民身份而面临的困难以及行动不便等主题成为重大障碍,而社区和家庭支持则是癌症预防的关键促进因素。此外,该研究考察了社区组织针对宫颈癌差异的社区干预方法,强调了提高公众意识运动、在拉丁裔社区建立信任以及提供针对移民群体的医疗支持的重要性。通过这一全面审视,该研究不仅为围绕宫颈癌预防的复杂问题网络提供了宝贵见解,还致力于成为有针对性干预措施和循证政策的催化剂,旨在改善佐治亚州及其他地区移民拉丁裔女性中的宫颈癌差异。
