背景虽然西班牙裔妇女的乳腺癌发病率低于其他族裔群体的妇女，但她们最不可能接受筛查检查。这项研究评估了一种文化敏感和语言适当的，量身定制的，基于计算机的，针对高危西班牙裔妇女乳腺癌早期检测的教育计划。来自市中心社区卫生诊所的讲西班牙语的西班牙裔妇女被招募并随机分配到具有交互式肥皂剧格式的计算机干预组（n= 118）或对照组（n= 60）。使用前后测试来确定乳腺癌相关知识和信念的任何变化。结果与对照组中的年轻和老年妇女相比，干预组中的年轻（18 - 40岁）和老年（41 - 65岁）妇女的乳腺癌筛查知识和信念均显着增加（n< 0.05）。基于计算机的定制和互动的肥皂剧在语言和文化上是适当的，有效地提高了服务不足的西班牙语西班牙裔妇女的乳腺癌筛查知识和信念。
Background. While Hispanic women have lower rates of breast cancer than do women of other ethnic groups, they are the least likely to undergo screening examinations. This study evaluated a culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate, tailored, computer‐based, educational program for early detection of breast cancer aimed at high‐risk Hispanic womenMethods. Spanish‐speaking Hispanic women from an inner‐city community health clinic were recruited and randomly assigned either to a computer intervention with an interactive soap‐opera format (n= 118) or to a comparison group (n= 60). Pre‐ and posttests were used to identify any change in breast‐cancer‐related knowledge and beliefs. Results. Both younger (18‐40 years old) and older (41‐65 years old) women in the intervention group demonstrated significant increases in their breast cancer screening knowledge and beliefs as compared with the younger and older women in the comparison group (n< 0.05).Conclusions. Computer‐based tailored and interactive soap operas that are linguistically and culturally appropriate are effective in increasing breast cancer screening knowledge and beliefs among underserved Spanish‐speaking Hispanic women.
