背景非裔美国妇女乳腺癌的五年生存率明显低于白色妇女;因此，需要适当的癌症教育和筛查工作，以增加乳房X光检查和乳房自我检查的做法，由非裔美国妇女。方法。见证项目™是一个基于理论的干预措施，旨在提供文化敏感的信息，从非裔美国人乳腺癌幸存者，在教堂和社区组织。这些信息强调了早期发现对提高生存率的重要性。结果：在阿肯色州东部对204名非洲裔美国妇女进行的干预研究表明，参加见证项目后，乳房自我检查（p <0.001）和乳房X光检查（p < 0.001）的做法显着增加。健康信念模型和控制点的量表项目的干预前和干预后得分之间没有显着差异。结果表明，文化上适当的癌症教育计划能够通过满足参与者的信念而不是试图改变他们的信念来改变行为。
Background. The five‐year survival rate for African American women with breast cancer is notably lower than the rate for white women; thus, appropriate cancer education and screening efforts are needed to increase mammography and breast self‐examination practices by African American women.Methods.The Witness Project™ is a theory‐based intervention designed to provide culturally sensitive messages, from African American breast cancer survivors, in churches and community organizations. These messages emphasize the importance of early detection to improve survival.Results.Intervention research in eastern Arkansas with 204 African American women demonstrated a significant increase in the practice of breast self‐examination (p <0.001) and mammography (p < 0.001) after participation in the Witness Project. There was no significant difference between the pre‐and postintervention scores for scaled items for the health‐belief model and locus of control.Conclusions.Results demonstrate that culturally appropriate cancer education programs are able to change behavior by meeting the beliefs of participants rather than attempting to change their beliefs.
