“…The summary scores are classified into two leveles of anxiety: scores > 44 indicate a high level of anxiety and scores ≤ 44 represent mild-to-moderate anxiety [ 30 ]. The SAI was translated into Chinese, and previous studies reported satisfactory psychometric properties [ 31 , 32 ]. For the present study, the Cronbach’s alpha was 0.90.…”

Background Betel quid (BQ) chewing is associated with poor oral hygiene, psychological impairment, and acute and long-term addictive effects, resulting in worse oral-related quality of life (OHRQoL). The purpose of this study was to characterize the factors associated with OHRQoL among BQ users receiving oral mucosal screening. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted. Data were collected by random sampling of BQ users who visited outpatient departments receiving oral mucosal screening in a medical center Taiwan. The oral health assessment tool, the state anxiety inventory, the betel quid dependence scale, and the oral health impact profile were used to measure oral health status, anxiety, BQ dependence, and OHRQoL, respectively. Pearson’s product-moment coefficient was used to examine the relationship between OHRQoL and the selected independent variables. Independent-samples t-test was used to compare OHRQoL by annual family income, the presence of chronic disease, and BQ dependence. Hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with OHRQoL. Results A total of 175 BQ users were surveyed. Factors associated with OHRQoL included oral health status, anxiety, and BQ dependence. BQ users reporting low oral health status, greater anxiety, and more BQ dependence were more likely to have worse OHRQoL. Conclusions Poor oral health status, anxiety, and BQ dependence negatively impact on OHRQoL among patients with BQ use receiving oral mucosal screening.

“…The interventions were effective for short-term but not long-term, follow-up. Several studies have described interventions aimed at increasing follow-up rates and showed mixed results [13,19,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. When the patient and physician's relations are good and based on clear communication and trust, the patient will be more likely to adhere to and fulfill the physicians' instructions [41,42].…”

“…However, the Second National Cancer Prevention Plan Cancer Screening for CRC prevention and control should consider the referral follow-up for CRC screening positive cases. The present study provided suggestions regarding the main factors affecting the diagnosis and treatment of positive cases, which can be used to improve medical treatment, complete the judgment of confirmation, implement early detection and early treatment, and improve the survival rate of CRC patients [6,7,11–13] …”

Cancer prevention and control are critical public health concerns. However, the screening uptake and referral rate for colorectal cancer (CRC) in Taiwan remain low. This study focused on the factors influencing whether a patient with a CRC diagnosis chooses to undergo referral follow-up.A cross-sectional research and used the Health Belief Model was method applied in this study. Variables such as demographic factors, CRC diagnosis-related knowledge factors, and health belief factors were employed to investigate the decisive factors that affect the health behavior of patients diagnosed with CRC who test positive on the fecal occult blood test. Study identified prospective participants in Daliao District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan aged 50 to 75 years. A structured questionnaire was administered to the individuals, and 200 responded. The questionnaires of 100 who went for a referral group and 80 who did not a nonreferral group were analyzed. The questionnaire was reliable and valid, as determined through an expert evaluation and pretest, respectively.Among the 200 participants, T test indicated that those who underwent a referral were significantly more likely to be younger (Age [Mean ± SD] n: 62.7, 7.1%; Unreferred group: n: 65.1, 7.0%; Referred group: n:60.7, 6.6%; P ≤ .001), be more educated (P = .002), exercise more (P < .05), and have more family members with cancer (P = .001) or CRC (P < .05). Participants who underwent a referral also had significantly more knowledge (P < .001). Furthermore, those who underwent a referral had significantly perceived greater susceptibility (P < .05), greater benefits (P = .002), and lower barriers (P < .001) of screening; they also received greater encouragement to do so from sources (e.g., clinicians or the media) around them (P = .009).Age, education level, number of family members with cancer or CRC, exercise habits, knowledge of CRC, perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and encouragement from others influence referral behavior. Government policy should focus on older patients and health education, especially in the mass media. Hospitals should also ensure the ease of referrals to lower perceived barriers.
