Exploring Emotional and Cognitive Perceptions of Cervical Cancer Screening and Self‐Sampling Among Vulnerable Romanian Women
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to explore the emotional and cognitive perceptions of cervical cancer screening (CCS), with a focus on self-sampling for human papillomavirus (HPV) by vulnerable Romanian women. METHODOLOGY: Eighteen semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with vulnerable women, defined by their low socioeconomic status (SES), residence in rural areas and membership in ethnic minorities. Participants were recruited usin…
“Well, that Was Pretty Clever!”—Ethnic Minority Women’s Views on HPV Self-Sampling Devices for Cervical Cancer Screening
“We’re the very bottom, so it’s going to be hard for you to ‘catch any fish’ around here…” understanding vulnerable Greenlanders’ perspectives on cancer and barriers to screening in Denmark– A qualita…
For vulnerable Greenlanders in Denmark participation in cancer screening programmes was positively viewed for most but could be challenging. Different intervention ideas raised by the vulnerable Greenlanders, relatives and staff members could guide the development of strategies to increase participation rates
“You’re dealing with the bottom here…” understanding reasons for reduced utilisation
Men in a vulnerable position visiting a drop-in centre were interested in CRC screening. If we intervene in a way that meets the needs among these vulnerable citizens, it may contribute to reducing social inequality in FIT-based CRC screening programmes
The SWIM study
BACKGROUND: Ethnic minority women from non-Western countries are less likely than the native women to participate in screening programmes for cervical cancer, breast cancer and colorectal cancer. This social inequality can result in loss of possibility for prevention, delayed diagnosis and treatment and, ultimately, lower chance of survival. Developing a tailored intervention might be the solution to reduce social inequalities in cancer screening…
Perceptions about cancer and barriers towards cancer screening among ethnic minority women in a deprived area in Denmark – a qualitative study
Ethnic minority women did not have sufficient knowledge about cancer and the purpose of cancer screening. Perceptions about cancer screening were characterised by openness and the study showed positive and curious attitudes towards screening participation. The findings emphasise the importance of culturally adapted interventions for ethnic minority women in attempts to reduce inequality in screening participation
Patient involvement in the development of the Danish surgical breast cancer patient pathway – An action research project
Although patient involvement is on the political agenda, the influence on clinical practice is poorly described. The aim of this study was to explore and evaluate the participatory process of involving patients and relatives in development of a surgical breast cancer patient pathway. The overall design was insider action research and included two Danish surgical breast cancer clinics. In dialogue meetings patients, relatives, and healthcare profe…
Surgical breast cancer patient pathway
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Breast cancer is the most common cancer disease in women worldwide. In Denmark, the law prescribes cancer patient pathways (CPPs) in general and thus also for breast cancer. Although results from patient satisfaction surveys show overall satisfaction with the pathway, a call for improvement has been voiced for some areas. The aim of this study was to explore patients' and relatives' experiences with the surgical breast CPP and…
