The Ayuda Pilot-Study Intervention: Psychosocial Support for Underserved Spanish-Speaking Latinas Undergoing Breast Cancer Treatment
The evidence is limited on whether psychological interventions that are culturally and linguistically targeted to Spanish-speaking Latina breast cancer (BC) survivors can improve their mental health outcomes. Using mixed methods, we developed, and pilot tested a culturally adapted intervention named AYUDA (means “help” in Spanish). In-depth qualitative interviews of Spanish-speaking Latinas ( n = 7) diagnosed with BC were conducted to develop the…
Development of the Brief Social Capital for Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health Scale: Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Social capital plays an important role in sexual and reproductive health among youth, yet few measures to assess this concept have been developed and tested for this population. We developed and examined the factor structure of the Brief Social Capital for Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health Scale. Drawing on the empirical literature, we identified item content to assess an overall construct of social capital in relationship to youth's sexual an…
The Role of Physician Involvement in Latinas’ Mammography Screening Adherence
The Latina Breast Cancer Screening Sacle: Beliefs about breast cancer and breast cancer screening
The Latina Breast Cancer Screening (LBCS) was developed to measure Latinas' culturally-shared health beliefs about breast cancer and breast cancer screening. A 60-item LBCS scale was tested with 288 participants and reduced to 35 items using principal components analyses. The 35-item LBCS scale and other measures were administered to a second sample of 147 participants to establish the scale's validity and reliability. A six-factor solution sugge…
Community readiness to promote Latinas’ participation in breast cancer prevention clinical trials: Latinas’ participation in clinical trials
The high breast cancer (BC) mortality rates that exist among Hispanic women (Latinas) are a health disparity burden that needs to be addressed. Prevention clinical trials are a burgeoning area of cancer prevention efforts and may serve to promote parity. Unfortunately, Latinas, along with other ethnic minority women, continue to be under-represented in this form of research. Previous studies have examined individual barriers to ethnic minorities'…
Breast Cancer Detection Among Older Latinas: Is It Worth the Risk
Fifty-eight Latinas participated in focus group interviews to assess their perceptions about screening to detect breast cancer (BC). Grounded theory methods helped uncover a cultural explanatory model that explained how cultural and psychosocial dynamics influence BC screening decisions. According to this model, Latinas generally perceived BC screening as a risky behavior. Three themes emerged that influenced the amount and type of perceived risk…
Are All Latinas the Same? Perceived Breast Cancer Screening Barriers and Facilitative Conditions
In this article, we examine perceived breast cancer screening barriers and facilitative conditions for immigrant women from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, El Salvador, and South America ( N = 58). Focus groups conducted separately with women of each ancestry were analyzed using grounded theory methods. Identified barriers comprise secrecy, lack of information, embarrassment, fear, and distrust of health care providers. Perceived facilitative conditio…
Feeling frugal: Socioeconomic status, acculturation, and cultural health beliefs among women of Mexican descent
Psychosocial and socioeconomic variables are often confounded. The authors combined quantitative with grounded theory analysis to investigate influences of acculturation, socioeconomic status (SES), and cultural health beliefs on Mexican-descent women's preventive health behaviors. In 5 focus group interviews sampling across levels of acculturation and SES, women expressing more traditional Mexican health beliefs about breast cancer screening wer…
Feeling Healthy: So Why Should Mexican-Descent Women Screen for Breast Cancer
Mexican-descent women are at particular risk of late-stage breast cancer diagnosis by being the least likely of the major U.S. Hispanic subgroups to undergo breast cancer screening. This grounded theory study investigated how cultural health beliefs regarding the causes and nature of breast cancer influence women’s decision to participate in screening. Thirty-four women (age 49 to 81) were interviewed in five focus groups using theoretical sampli…
Feeling Indecent: Breast Cancer Screening Resistance of Mexican-descent Women
This grounded theory study investigated how Mexican-descent women's traditional cultural beliefs, values, and norms regarding the propriety of their behavior and that of their health care providers influence their decision to participate in breast cancer screening. Thirty-four women (aged 49-81 years old) were interviewed in five focus groups using theoretical sampling across levels of acculturation and socioeconomic status. We discovered that th…
