“…Another study found that family history of cancer was associated with increased cancer screening uptake but not other health promotive behaviors [ 38 ]. In general, all groups underestimated their breast cancer risk in relation to actual calculated risk, and engagement with cancer prevention was suboptimal [ 23 , 33 , 34 ]. Similar underestimation of cancer risk was found in studies of individuals with family history of colorectal cancer [ 39 ].…”

“…However, it remains unclear whether attitudes about cancer translate into increased uptake of cancer prevention strategies. Studies have shown that women with a FDR with breast cancer experienced increased worry, increased perception of susceptibility, increased fear of breast cancer, and decreased perception of mammography barriers [23,[32][33][34]. Negative CABs translated to increased uptake of cancer screening in some studies [23,35] while other studies did not find a difference in cancer screening uptake based on family history, regardless of perceived susceptibility and attitudes [32,33,36,37].…”

Objective To determine the relationship between family history of cancer with cancer attitudes and beliefs (CABs) and cancer screening knowledge. Methods This study used data collected for the Community Initiative Towards Improving Equity and Health Status (CITIES) project which surveyed Ohioans ages 21–74. In the current analysis, we included data on age, gender, race, marital status, education, income, financial security, health insurance, CABs, knowledge about the correct age to begin cancer screenings, and presence of a first-degree relative with cancer. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the association of family history of cancer with CABs and knowledge about the correct age to begin cancer screening. Results Participants were predominantly over the age of 41, female, and white. Out of 603 participants, 295 (48.92%) reported not having a first-degree relative with cancer and 308 (51.08%) reported having a first-degree relative with cancer. Overall, 109 (18.08%) participants reported negative CABs, 378 (62.69%) reported moderate CABs, and 116 (19.24%) reported positive CABs. Participants who reported a first-degree relative with cancer were more likely to report positive CABs, but the association was not significant (p = .11). We observed that older, more educated, and married participants were more likely to have positive CABs (all p < 0.05). Family history of cancer was not associated with differences in knowledge about the correct age for beginning colorectal cancer screening (p = .85) and mammography (p = .88). Conclusions Having a first-degree relative with cancer was not found to be associated with CABs or knowledge about cancer screening. However, age and socioeconomic status were associated with more positive CABs and increased knowledge about cancer screening. Future research should focus on standardizing a CABs scale and expanding the generalizability of our findings.

“…Power analysis was performed using the G*Power 3.1 program to calculate sample size. Considering the the Health Belief Model Scale [19], Champion Breast Cancer Fear Scale [20] and Mammography Self-E cacy Scale [21] mean scores, the required sample size was determined as 134 at 95% con dence interval, 5% margin of error, 0.63 effect size, and 95% power. A total of 150 participants (75 participants in the experimental group and 75 participants in the control group) were recruited for the study with approximately 12% (16 people) extra participants, taking a possible data loss into account.…”

Purpose This study was conducted to determine the effect of the nurse navigation program immigrant Syrian women on their beliefs about breast cancer screening behaviors, their mammography self-efficacy, breast cancer fears and their knowledge levels about BSE.Methods This single-blind randomized controlled study was conducted in June-October 2021 with the pretest-posttest control group design. This research, which was carried out in accordance with randomized pre-test-post-test control group, with a total of 150 Syrian women, 75 in the experimental group and 75 in the control group. As data collection tools; "Descriptive Questionnaire", "Health Belief Model Scale", "Mammography Self-efficacy Scale", "Champion Breast Cancer Fear Scale", "Breast Self-Examination Checklist Form" and "Telephone Interview Form" were used. The study has a Clinical Trials registry with the number …….Results According to the post-tests, there is a statistically significant difference in rate of having mammography between the experimental and control groups. After applying the Nurse Navigation Program based on the Health Belief Model to the Syrian women in the mammography self-efficacy scale score levels of the women in the experimental group increased after the experiment compared to before the experiment.Conclision Results of the study, it was determined that the Nurse Navigation Program applied according to the Health Belief Model (HBM) increased the breast cancer screening behaviors, self-efficacy and knowledge levels of Syrian women, and decreased their fear of breast cancer.

Objective:The aim of this study was to investigate the extent of worry about breast cancer (BC) amongst a sample of women and to examine the effect of this on behavior to prevent BC. Materials and Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted in 271 women aged 18 years and above who attended the Family Medicine Outpatient Clinic of a tertiary hospital and met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using the following tools: Patient Information Form; Breast Cancer Worry Scale (BCWS); Breast Cancer Prevention Behaviors Identification Scale (BCPBIS); and Mammography Processes of Change Scale (MPCS).Results: When evaluated according to BCWS scores (mean 8.43±3.36), the BC worry levels were found to be low. The behavior adopted for prevention was also found to be positive according to BCPBIS (mean 119±15.26) and MPCS (mean 82.38±12.81) scores. A significant correlation was found between the BCWS and both the BCPBIS and MPCS scores, and again between the BCPBIS and MPCS scores (p<0.001 for all). There was a correlation with three scale scores in those who had knowledge about BC, and those who had regular clinical breast examination (BE) (p<0.05 for all). The BCPBIS score was found to be higher in those aged between 41-65 years, those who had mammography, and performed p self-BE (p = 0.002; p<0.001; p<0.001, respectively). According to the MPCS score, mammography behaviors was found to be more positive in those who had regular gynecological examinations and those who had mammography (p = 0.08 and p = 0.011). Conclusion:The participants generally had low BC worry levels and had adopted positive behavior for prevention. Being informed about BC and screening and having regular BE increased BC worry. Those with high BC worry, those who had mammography before, those who had knowledge about BC and screening, and those who regularly performed BE showed more positive behaviors toward preventing BC.
