The relationship of social support concept and repeat mammography among Iranian women

Abstract: BackgroundBreast cancer ranks as the first most common cancer among the Iranian women. The regular repeat of mammography with 1–2 year intervals leads to the increased efficiency of early detection of breast cancer. The present study examined the predictors of repeat mammography. It was hypothesized that higher social support is connected with mammography repeat.MethodsA cross-sectional study was carried out among 400 women 50 years and older in Sanandaj, Iran. Data was collected by the questionnaire including… Show more

“…Our intervention may be particularly needed by women with no lifetime history of mammography. Simultaneously, we note that repeat mammography is particularly low in Iran [ 54 ]. Thus there is a need for these types of interventions in the context of both mammography behavior initiation and maintenance.…”

“…While the structural and functional characteristics of social interactions can vary widely by demographic and geographic factors (Farhadifar, Taymoori, Bahrami, & Zarea, 2015;Manjer, Emilsson, & Zackrisson, 2015), based on published literature, no study so far has characterized SS for mammography in a predominantly white population in the Midwestern United States. This study aimed to address this gap, and measure both structural and functional characteristics of social interactions as they relate to mammography among women older than 40 years of age.…”

“…Early detection is one of the most important strategies for reducing breast cancer mortality followed by treatment for early stage cancer [ 1 ]. According to national data in Iran, a significant number of women (80%) have never obtained a mammogram or are not adherent (73%) with screening guidelines [ 2 , 3 ]. Factors influencing participation with mammography screening among Iranian women reported in previous studies include perceived severity, perceived susceptibility [ 4 – 6 ], higher perceived barriers, and self-efficacy related to receipt of mammography screening [ 7 ].…”

“…Integration of subjective norms and perceived behavioral control with breast cancer screening interventions may increase participation in mammography screening among Iranian women [ 8 ]. Greater perceived social support predicted more repeat mammography behavior among Iranian women than with lower social support scores [ 3 ].…”
