“…Similar findings on the fear surrounding the detection of cancer as a barrier have been reported previously (Garbers et al, 2003;Baron-Epel et al, 2004;Azaiza and Cohen 2006;Wu et al, 2006). Fear of detection of cancer is a barrier cited by Arabic women in Jordan (Petro-Nustas, 2001). Al-Naggar et al (2009) showed that concerns about the side effects were the reasons for low utilization of mammography screening.…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the practice and barriers of mammography and associated factors among Malaysian women in the general population. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 women in Shah Alam, Selangor; Malaysia. The questionnaire contained 27 questions and was comprised of two sections; socio-demographic characteristics and practices, knowledge and barriers of mammography. All the data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 13.0. Results: Of the 200 Malaysian women who participated in this study, the majority were under the age of 50 years (65.5%), Malay (86%), and married (94.5%). Regarding any family history of cancer in general, the majority of the participants had none (78%). However, some did report a close relative with breast cancer (16.5%). While the majority of them knew about mammography (68%), 15% had had a mammogram once in their life and only 2% had the procedure every two or three years. Univariate analysis showed that age, family history of cancer, family history of breast cancer, regular supplement intake, regular medical check-up and knowledge about mammogram were significantly associated with mammogram practice among the general population (p=0.007, p=0.043, P=0.015, p=0.01, p=0.001, p<0.001; respectively). Multivariate analysis using multiple linear regression test showed that age, regular medical check-up and knowledge about mammography testing were statistically associated with the practice of mammography among the general population in Malaysia (p=0.035, p=0.015 and p<0.001; respectively). Lack of time, lack of knowledge, not knowing where to go for the test and a fear of the test result were the most important barriers (42.5%, 32%, 21%, 20%; respectively). Conclusion: The practice of mammogram screening is low among Malaysian women.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess practice of breast cancer early diagnosis methods among women and the factors associated with this practice. Materials and Methods:The population of this cross-sectional study consisted of 410,377 women over the age of 20, living within the administrative borders of Samsun province. Stratified systematic sampling was used in the selection of the 800-member sample. The Health Belief Model Scale, a questionnaire consisting of open and closed-ended questions, was used to elicit women's demographic data and determine their awareness on early diagnostic techniques. The questionnaires were administered face-to-face by visiting individuals' addresses.Results: 80.5% of women had knowledge on breast self-examination (BSE). 12.6% of the women who were aware of BSE stated that they regularly performed BSE. 30.4% of women had clinical breast examination (CBE) by health personnel at least once, while 36.8% of women over 40 years of age obtained mammography at least once. Factors associated with women's performance of BSE were age, having received education about breast health, perception of severity, barriers for BSE and self-efficacy. Factors affecting CBE included age, presence of history of breast cancer in a relative or friend, having received education about breast health; while factors associated with women's undergoing mammography were identified as age, a family member with a history of breast cancer and barriers for mammography. Conclusion:Determination of the factors associated with practice of breast cancer early diagnosis methods, and implementation of planned training programs based on these results is important in increasing compliance with these methods.

“…Cost and availability of health insurance have been found to act as barriers to breast cancer screening in the U.S. and other parts of the world, but not in Saudi Arabia and Qatar where mammography is usually either free or covered by insurance (Amin et al, 2009;Bener et al, 2009). In Turkey, Jordan, Israel, and Iran, cost and lack of health insurance were found to be barriers to participation in breast cancer screening (Petro-Nustas, 2001a;Alkhasawneh, 2007;Lamyian et al, 2007;Cam and Gvmvs, 2009;Azaiza et al, 2010).…”

These were: Medline (OVID), PubMed, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, CINAHL Plus, Google Scholar, and Index Medicus for WHO Eastern Mediterranean. The Asian Pac J Cancer Prev was searched separately. Keywords that were used singularly and in combination were: Arab, Middle East, Gulf, women, breast cancer, screening, culture, mammography, beliefs, knowledge, attitude, barriers, facilitators. CINAHL Plus, Medline OVID, and PubMed were searched for breast cancer screening and each Arab country separately. Reference lists from relevant articles were studied to identify additional articles to include in the review. A total of 444 articles were found.
