目的/目标：为了确定一个多方面的，文化敏感的，语言适当的西班牙裔妇女乳腺癌教育计划的有效性。设计：实验（仅后测，对照组设计）。设置：在阿肯色州东北部的罗马天主教堂的教区大厅。样本：居住在阿肯色州东北部的31名25-56岁的西班牙裔妇女。方法：实验组接受多方面的，文化敏感的，语言适当的乳腺癌教育计划;控制组接受一般的营养信息。两组人都完成了乳腺癌知识测试和乳腺癌筛查信念量表，以便研究人员可以测量因变量。数据采用t检验进行分析。主要研究变量：对乳腺癌的认识和信念。结果：实验组在乳腺癌知识测试中的得分显著高于对照组，对照组在乳腺癌筛查信念量表中的乳房X线检查障碍量表和乳房自我检查量表的得分显著高于实验组。结论：多方面的，文化上的敏感性，和语言上适当的乳腺癌教育计划似乎是负责增加乳腺癌的知识和减少障碍mammography.Implications护理：教育可能会改变西班牙裔妇女对乳腺癌的知识和信念。由护士设计和实施的干预措施可以在满足西班牙裔妇女对文化敏感和语言适当的乳腺癌教育计划的强烈需求方面发挥重要作用。这些项目应该侧重于帮助西班牙裔妇女了解她们与乳腺癌相关的个人风险，并减少她们对早期筛查和检测的障碍。
Purpose/Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of a multifaceted, culturally sensitive, and linguistically appropriate breast cancer education program for Hispanic women.Design: Experimental (post-test only, control-group design).Setting: The parish hall of a Roman Catholic Church in northeastern Arkansas.Sample: 31 Hispanic women aged 25-56 residing in northeastern Arkansas.Methods: The experimental group received a multifaceted, culturally sensitive, and linguistically appropriate breast cancer education program; the control group received general nutritional information. Both groups completed the Breast Cancer Knowledge Test and Breast Cancer Screening Belief Scales so that the researchers could measure dependent variables. Data were analyzed with t tests.Main Research Variables: Knowledge of and beliefs about breast cancer.Findings: The experimental group scored significantly higher on the Breast Cancer Knowledge Test than did the control group, The control group scored significantly higher than the experimental group on the barriers to mammography scale and the benefits of breast self-examination scale of the Breast Cancer Screening Belief Scales.Conclusions: The multifaceted, culturally sensitive, and linguistically appropriate breast cancer education program appeared to be responsible for increased knowledge of breast cancer and reduced barriers to mammography.Implications for Nursing: Education may change Hispanic women's knowledge and beliefs about breast cancer. An intervention designed and implemented by nurses can play a significant role in meeting the strong need for culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate breast cancer educational programs for Hispanic women. Such programs should focus on helping Hispanic women understand their personal risks related to breast cancer and reduce barriers they perceive to early screening and detection.
