Factors Influencing Regular Mammography Screening Participation in a Sample of Turkish Women: Cross-Sectional Study

“…It was determined in the records examined within our study that more than half of the women were menopausal (52%), and the menopausal women had regular screening significantly more (OR: 1.237; %95 CI: 1.02-150) than the women who weren't menopausal. It was found in the study of Koralp-Durdiyeva et al that 784 (36%) of 2136 women participating in the early diagnosis and screening program carried out between the years July 2010 and July 2013 in Near East University Hospital in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus were in premenopausal period, and 1352 (64%) of the women in this program were in postmenopausal period [33]. Lee and Kim (2015) determined that 59.6% of the women being menopausal had regular screening, 33% of the women who weren't menopausal had regular screening, and menopause was one of the important period in women's life, and therefore, menopause was an important factor affecting regular mammography screening behavior, and it increased the awareness of health.…”
