Background The stigma experienced by cancer patients stems from the association of cancer with death, as cancer is the most feared disease worldwide, especially among cancer patients and their families. The stigma regarding breast cancer screening behaviour has not been critically evaluated and is poorly understood; therefore, we aimed to analyse the stigmatization of breast cancer patients in Indonesia to reduce the morbidity and mortality of breast cancer. Methods A qualitative study using a focus group discussion (FGD) and in-depth interviews with thematic analysis was conducted. Results One informant experienced breast pain and kept the referral letter, in which the medical doctor advised medical treatment, to herself for 3 months due to her embarrassment. A traditional healing practice known as ‘kerokan’, which involves scraping of the skin, and consumption of a traditional drink were used by most informants to decrease their breast pain. Finally, most informants were diagnosed with an advanced stage of cancer when they returned to the health care facility. In addition, financial difficulties were noted as barriers to breast cancer screening in Indonesia. Conclusions Feelings of fear and shame when diagnosed with breast cancer were reported by the informants in this study. Alternative treatment known as ‘kerokan’ was the first treatment sought for breast cancer symptoms due to financial difficulties among breast cancer patients. Informants were diagnosed with an advanced stage of cancer after they returned to the health care facility. A better understanding of early breast cancer symptoms could motivate women to seek out breast cancer treatment.

Research on the field of using social media has gained more importance in the recent days due to the rapid development of social media technologies. Looking at the behavioral intention and attitude of using social media for collaborative learning within Malaysian higher educational institutions and the influencing factors in this regard has received little attention by researchers. The study aims at examining the determinants that affect learners' attitude and behavior intention regarding their use social media to achieve collaborative learning. Such examination is carried out by using the Theory Acceptance Model (TAM) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Usage of Technology (UTAUT). A total of 243 participants were recruited for this study. The findings indicated that students' attitudes and behavior are strong indicators of their intentions in terms of using social media in collaborative learning. .my Effort expectancy (EE)This concept is referred to as the students' perception concerning social media technology use as effortless. It assumed that there are no difficulties or challenges facing students in using social media as their medium of communication for learning. In past research, behavioral intention was proved to be directly influenced by effort expectancy [24]. This point introduced the following hypothesis: H5: The behavioral intention can be positively influenced by effort expectancy. Social influence (SIN)This term is referred to as the measurement by which students perceive other individuals or certain people to trust social to enhance collaborative learning [19]. Previous research on this point found out that others such as peer students, instructors and parents can influence the decision of the students [25]. On light of the above mentioned, this study found that it is significant to include social influence in the proposed model. This introduces the following hypothesis: H6: The behavioral intention can be highly influenced by social influence. Facilitating conditions (FAC)Huang [7] stated that technology adoption can be highly determined by facilitating conditions. This can be due to the reasons that users do not have the training time or they might not be willing to use the technology because of a compatibility problem with the system. Looking at the outcome of some research, it has been reported that behavioral intention has a positive relation with facilitating conditions [23,[26][27]. This introduces the following hypothesis: H7: The behavioral intention can be highly affected by facilitating conditions. Attitude (ATT)According to Yueh et al. [28], individuals' attitude is the reason behind intention. Moreover, the behaviors of individuals can be highly determined by attitude [29]. Previous studies by [13,21] further highlight that behavioral intention can be determined by attitude. This leads to the following hypotheses: H8: The behavioral intention can be highly influenced by attitude. H9: The use of social media can be positively influenced by the attitude. H10: Attitude has a high impac...
