“…This causes some Pakistani women to be reluctant to diagnose cancer early and therefore, many of them are diagnosed with advanced stages of cancer [91]. Others' unpleasant experience with mammography reduces the willingness of those around them to perform this screening test, thus it acts as a barrier to mammography [64,74].…”

Aim: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Asia and one of the major health problems in most countries in the region. Despite extensive advances in treatment, early diagnosis is one of the main methods for increasing the survival rate. It is necessary to evaluate the barriers and facilitators of screening in different societies. This study was conducted to identify the barriers and facilitators of mammography in Asia. Materials and methods: To identify the barriers and facilitators of mammography in Asia, a comprehensive search was carried out in databases such as Medline, Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus using keywords, including breast cancer, screening, mammography, barriers, facilitators and the names of each Asian country, as well as a combination of these keywords were used to help the search. Full-text, English language and original articles were included in this study. Results: In total, 71 articles were entered into the study. The findings of this study revealed various barriers to mammography in Asian women, including knowledge, sociodemographic factors, cost and insurance, cultural factors, belief, attitude and feeling, fear, pain and embarrassment, self-efficacy, religious, psychological factors, time constraint, fatalism, professional recommendations, communication, social support and access. Also, knowledge, attitude and belief, perceived risk, professional and social factors were found to be facilitators of mammography. Conclusion: Knowing the barriers and facilitators to access mammography is the first step in the development of a successful screening program. Awareness and various personal, professional and social factors have emerged as the major barriers to access to mammography in most Asian countries.

“…According to studies, self-efficacy [26,60,70], chronic diseases, disability and visual, hearing, and motor problems are some of the barriers to mammography [40]. Chronic disease weakens people's view of mammography, so they do not prioritise mammography [74].…”

“…Motivating fear appeal at inappropriate levels may cause women to consider breast cancer as a serious disease and may promote maladaptive behaviour such as denial or defensive avoidance (Jones & Owen, 2006;Khodayarian, Mazloomi-Mahmoodabad, Lamyian, Morowatisharifabad, & Tavangar, 2016). Hence, in the present study, perceived severity was not used as a predictor of mammography screening.…”

“…While some researchers believe that perceived severity of the disease and inducing fear appeal may contribute to changes in attitude and behaviour, several studies have not explored the role of these variables in predicting mammographic behaviour (Allahverdipour et al., 2011). Motivating fear appeal at inappropriate levels may cause women to consider breast cancer as a serious disease and may promote maladaptive behaviour such as denial or defensive avoidance (Jones & Owen, 2006; Khodayarian, Mazloomi‐Mahmoodabad, Lamyian, Morowatisharifabad, & Tavangar, 2016). Hence, in the present study, perceived severity was not used as a predictor of mammography screening.…”

Factors affecting mammography screening behaviour among rural Vietnamese women

et al. 2020

One in four women is estimated to be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime, making breast cancer the commonest cancer among women worldwide (Bray et al., 2018). In Vietnam, breast cancer accounts for 8.9% of new cancer cases among women each year (International Agency for Research on Cancer, 2012). In addition, most Vietnamese patients receive diagnosis at an extremely late stage (Thuan, Anh, Tu, & Huong, 2017). According to a study conducted at the five largest cancer hospitals in Vietnam, 49.5% of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients received diagnosis at stages III and IV (Thuan et al., 2017). Moreover, nearly half of Vietnamese patients with breast cancer resided in rural areas (Hoang Lan, Laohasiriwong, Stewart, Tung, & Coyte, 2013), where women have low levels of education and income and limited access to health care. Furthermore, a high proportion of breast cancer patients in Vietnam are relatively young, and one-third of patients are diagnosed at a younger age (Hoang Lan et al., 2013) than are patients in Western countries (Youlden, Cramb, Yip, & Baade, 2014) (40-49 versus 55-65 years). Evidence shows that early screening and access to optimal treatment can improve survival rates in patients with breast cancer

“…While there is a growing body of research on a barriers such as lack of knowledge, fear of breast cancer diagnosis, 8 , 9 possible pain experienced during mammography, low self-efficacy, lack of health motivation, lack of access to health-care, and lack of physician referral, 10 - 12 research on the role of fear of negative evaluation on mammography screening is scarce. Due to its consequences, 13 - 15 fear of negative evaluation would be an important detrimental factor in women’s mammography screening.…”

Background: Mammography screening tends to reduce mortality rate through early detection. One of the barriers to mammography screening is fear of negative appearance evaluation(FNAE). This study investigated the impact of internal health locus of control, breast cancer worries and age on the relationship between FNAE and attitude towards mammography. Methods: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey design was used. Samples were Iranian women, living in Iran, aged at least 30 years old, without any history of cancer, and had not performed mammography previously based on self-report. In total, 823 samples were collected through conducting an online survey from April to June 2016. The questionnaire consisted of several instruments including attitude toward breast cancer screening procedures scale, FNAEscale, the internal dimension of the multidimensional health locus of control, and two items to measure breast cancer worry. Using covariance-based structural equation modeling the model was tested. Results: The interaction of FNAE with internal health locus of control (β = -0.128, P<0.05,CI: -0.200, -0.056), breast cancer worry (β = 0.090, P<0.05, CI: -0.162, -0.017), and age (β =-0.095, P<0.05, CI = -0.163, -0.026) was significant. The three tested moderators dampened the positive relationship between FNAE and negative attitude towards mammography. Conclusion: More information about the screening procedure should be given to women to overcome their fear. The findings indicate the need for interventions seeking to shift women’s health locus of control from external to internal. Women with low level of cancer worry need more attention.
