“…As posited by the theory of planned behavior, 8 we found that both lower level of screening intention and a decrease in screening intention were associated with lower rates of screening after 18 mo. Previous literature examining the relationship between screening intention and behavior only did so in the context of increasing screening adoption [2][3][4][5][6][7] ; our results adds to the literature by showing that in the context of screening cessation, intention is also a strong predictor of behavior. These findings have several important implications.…”

“…1 Not surprisingly, numerous studies have aimed at promoting the adoption of breast cancer screening. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Based on the theory of planned behavior, which posits that intention is the most important and proximal predictor of behavior, 8 studies have found a moderate association between breast cancer screening intention and receipt of screening, 2,3 and a number of interventions have targeted screening intention as the outcome. [4][5][6][7] All of these studies focused on increasing screening rates.…”

“…First, First choice treatment regimen and plan and Auxiliary treatment regimen and plan tended to reflect more specialized information for patients; therefore, they were merged and modified to form Treatment regimen and plan . Second, the statement “ survival time ” in Survival time and prognosis after treatment could have somewhat sinister connotations and cause the patients to feel anxious about how long they would live after being diagnosed . Therefore, the item was revised to Therapeutic effects and prognosis to shift patients' attention to treatment effectiveness, rather than survival time.…”

Rationale, Aims, and Objectives: A needs assessment tool considering the cultural background of mainland China has not been reported. This study developed a Needs Self-rating Questionnaire for Breast Cancer (NSQ-BC) based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs for mainland Chinese patients. Methods:The Delphi technique and pilot cross-sectional surveys (two rounds) were performed for item selection. In the Delphi technique, items were selected according to the experts' perspective on the item's significance (ie, 1-5 Likert-scale ratings of importance; mean > 4.0 and coefficients of variation <0.25). In the pilot crosssectional surveys, items were selected according to internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's α ≥ 0.70), discriminant validity (stronger correlations of the item with the hypothesized subscale than for other subscales), and convergent validity (hypothesized item-subscale correlations ≥0.40). All decisions were made based on the results of statistical analyses, recommendations of the experts, and in-depth discussion among research team members.Results: Following the two evaluation rounds, the revised NSQ-BC comprised 26 items across five subscales of needs: physical, psychological, respect/self-esteem, information, and rehabilitation. Item ratings from the expert panellists met the aforementioned criteria (ie, Kendall's W = 0.329, P < 0.001). Except for the "respect/self-esteem needs" subscale, Cronbach's α for all subscales exceeded 0.70. All items had acceptable discriminant and convergent validity. Additionally, two new items-good environment/facilities and economic support-were added to the NSQ-BC, as recommended by the experts. Conclusions:The NSQ-BC was developed fully via the comprehensive use of Delphi technique and pilot cross-sectional surveys. It provides evidence of a proper instrument for needs assessment and evaluation among women with breast cancer in mainland China.

“…Eight negative relationships between anticipatory anxiety constructs and breast cancer screening intention ( n = 2) and behaviour ( n = 6) were identified within the studies reviewed 26,68–72 . In three of these relationships, it was not clear what the anticipatory anxiety pertained to.…”

ObjectivesTo synthesize current evidence on the association between anticipatory anxiety, defined as apprehension‐specific negative affect that may be experienced when exposed to potential threat or uncertainty, and cancer screening to better inform strategies to maximize participation rates.MethodsSearches related to cancer screening and anxiety were conducted in seven electronic databases (APA PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed, CINAHL), with potentially eligible papers screened in Covidence. Data extraction was conducted independently by multiple authors. Barriers to cancer screening for any type of cancer and relationships tested between anticipatory anxiety and cancer screening and intention were categorized and compared according to the form and target of anxiety and cancer types.ResultsA total of 74 articles (nparticipants = 119,990) were included, reporting 103 relationships tested between anticipatory anxiety and cancer screening and 13 instances where anticipatory anxiety was reported as a barrier to screening. Anticipatory anxiety related to a possible cancer diagnosis was often associated with increased screening, while general anxiety showed no consistent relationship. Negative relationships were often found between anxiety about the screening procedure and cancer screening.ConclusionAnticipatory anxiety about a cancer diagnosis may promote screening participation, whereas a fear of the screening procedure could be a barrier. Public health messaging and primary prevention practitioners should acknowledge the appropriate risk of cancer, while engendering screening confidence and highlighting the safety and comfort of screening tests.
