“…For the comparison of the internal and external HLC, a confirmed MHLC scale was used in both groups. The MHLC scale has been used for several years in many studies concerning oncological patients [13, 16, 17] and chronically ill patients without cancer [14, 18]. The HLC is an important factor in determining how the patient deals with the disease, treatment and rehabilitation.…”

“…The literature on research on the HLC indicates the internal LOC as a factor facilitating the actions taken to prevent health problems and avoiding health-threatening behaviors [17]. It is believed that people with a higher level of Internal LOC may be in better health than people who, in the assessment of this factor, achieve a lower level [20].…”

Aim of the study The aim of the study was to investigate whether there are differences in the various dimensions of the health locus of control between oncological and non-oncological patients and to determine whether there is a relationship between the level of health locus of control and the type, duration of disease and gender. Material and methods The study was conducted at the Department of Hematology and the 1 st Department of Cardiology of the University Hospital in Krakow. 204 patients were enrolled. Our own questionnaire developed for this purpose and the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scale were used. The US normalization group and the Polish standardization groups of the chronically ill patients were used for comparative analysis. Results Analysis showed significant differences between women and men in the Internal control scale ( p < 0.02). The respondents from both groups showed lower scores in the Internal locus of control and much higher scores in the dimension Powerful Others. In the group of oncological patients, a negative correlation was found between the Internal scale of health locus of control and the duration of the disease ( p = 0.007). There was a significant difference between oncological and non-oncological patients in the Powerful Others scale ( p < 0.004). Conclusions The results suggest that oncologically ill patients could be more convinced that others are responsible for their health when compared to non-oncological patients. The longer the disease persists in oncological patients, the weaker is their internal motivation to achieve good treatment results.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is cancer that occurs in the cervix of the uterus, is the entrance to the uterus located between the uterus and the vagina. Mothers with cervical cancer 65.5% come to health care already in an advanced stage, where this will have an impact on economic, social, physical, psychological suffering and even increased mortality due to cervical cancer. This study aims to determine the relationship of characteristics, family history of mothers suffering from cancer and maternal knowledge about cervical cancer in delay in seeking treatment at the RSUH. Adam Malik Medan. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional study design. The population in this study were all women with cervical cancer who had been diagnosed through histopathological examination from Stage Ia to Stage IVb who were treated in the Midwifery and Midwifery Oncology Hospital of Adam Malik General Hospital Medan. The way to take sample is by using non probability sampling. Research / Discussion Results: Based on univariate analysis that the delay of respondents in seeking treatment for health services in patients with cervical cancer, generally has an advanced stage (67.5%). Characteristics of respondents; age> 40 years (58%), low education (34.3%), having more than 2 children (77.5%), low socioeconomic (37.3%), having a family with a history of cancer (39.1%). Based on univariate analysis states that: There is a significant relationship: age> 40 years, low education, having more than 2 children, low socioeconomic, poor knowledge, family history of cancer where p <0.05 with 95% CI, to delays seek treatment to health services. Conclusion: increasing maternal awareness through IEC with early detection of IVA or pap smears, increasing knowledge can prevent delays in patients coming to health care. Respondents who have a family history of cancer or not have the potential for cervical cancer, so they still need to be routinely detected early. Optimize efforts to prevent cervical cancer, by raising awareness of the awareness and importance of cervical cancer screening through early detection of either IVA or pap smear tests, health promotion so that people do not come at an advanced stage to health services.

“…Fatalism is a cultural construct that is associated with a decreased knowledge of cancer risks and decreased engagement in cancer prevention and screening behaviors 29 . Fatalism is a documented barrier to cancer screening and follow‐up 26,30 .

Purpose Women who receive an abnormal Pap result may experience negative psychological factors. The purpose of this study is to assess the baseline occurrence of negative psychological factors and evaluate the relationships between psychological factors and demographic characteristics among Appalachian women who received abnormal Pap results. Methods We conducted a secondary analysis of data collected from Appalachia Kentucky women (N = 521) ages ≥18 enrolled in an intervention. Data included sociodemographics, Beck depression and anxiety inventories, fatalism, and personal control measures. Multiple variable logistic regression was used to investigate the association between demographics and psychological factors. Findings Participants were predominantly White (96.2%), with mean age 28.93 ± 11.03 years, and the majority (77%) had yearly income below $20,000. Depression was reported by 34.6% (n = 173); 10% (n = 50) experienced moderate or severe anxiety; 20.6% (n = 107) had fatalistic beliefs; and 55.1% (n = 289) believed they lacked personal control over cancer. Women with lower income had higher occurrence of depression (P = .003). Women with moderate to severe anxiety were significantly older than those with low to moderate depression (34.44 vs 28.34, P < .001). Controlling for other variables, as age increased, the odds of fatalistic beliefs increased, OR (95%) = 1.042 (1.022, 1.062). When education level increased, the odds of fatalistic beliefs decreased, OR (95%) = 0.873 (0.800, 0.952). Conclusions Given the high occurrence of depression, anxiety, and fatalistic beliefs among this population, health care providers should assess for underlying mental health diagnoses and psychological distress during each patient encounter and provide recommendations to address them.
