本研究的目的是回顾已发表的研究，研究影响因素的乳腺癌和宫颈癌筛查行为在西班牙裔妇女，使用健康信念模型（HBM）。使用MEDLINE和PsycINFO数据库和手动检索来识别文章。西班牙裔女性常见的癌症筛查障碍包括对癌症的恐惧，对癌症的宿命论观点，语言障碍和文化上的尴尬。此外，西班牙裔女性通常感觉不太容易患癌症，这是她们缺乏筛查的重要原因。积极的线索进行筛选包括医生的建议，社区外展计划与西班牙裔奠定健康的领导人，西班牙印刷材料，并使用特定文化的媒体。使用健康信念模型的理论框架对文献进行了批判性审查，确定了影响西班牙裔妇女癌症筛查摄取率和依从性的几个文化特定因素。今后的干预措施必须具有文化敏感性和能力。
The aim of this study was to review published studies that examined factors influencing breast and cervical cancer screening behavior in Hispanic women, using the Health Belief Model (HBM). MEDLINE and PsycINFO databases and manual search were used to identify articles. Cancer screening barriers common among Hispanic women include fear of cancer, fatalistic views on cancer, linguistic barriers, and culturally based embarrassment. In addition, Hispanic women commonly feel less susceptible to cancer, which is an important reason for their lack of screening. Positive cues to undergo screening include physician recommendation, community outreach programs with the use of Hispanic lay health leaders, Spanish print material, and use of culturally specific media. Critical review of the literature using the theoretical framework of the Health Belief Model identified several culturally specific factors influencing cancer screening uptake and compliance among Hispanic women. Future interventions need to be culturally sensitive and competent.
