Time to diagnosis for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer in Zimbabwe and South Africa
INTRODUCTION: Shorter time to diagnosis may lead to better cancer outcomes in Southern Africa. This study measured the time from symptoms to first healthcare visit (patient interval; PI) and diagnosis (diagnostic interval; DI) and associated factors for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer in Zimbabwe and South Africa (SA). METHODS: A cross-sectional survey collected data on socio-demographics, cancer awareness, barriers to seeking care, sympto…
Health facility preparedness for early detection of symptomatic cancer in Southern Africa
Early detection and diagnosis of cancer in African contexts is challenging. Health services should identify people with symptoms suggestive of cancer, refer timeously, and implement diagnostic processes efficiently. This requires the resources and infrastructure to provide these services. This study, the first in Southern Africa, reports on the availability of these services across referral pathways in four provinces of two Southern African count…
“Whilst you are here…” Acceptability of providing advice about screening and early detection of other cancers as part of the breast cancer screening programme
OBJECTIVES: This research aimed to assess women's willingness to receive advice about cervical and bowel cancer screening participation and advice on cancer symptom awareness when attending breast cancer screening. METHODS: Women (n = 322) aged 60-64 years, living in the United Kingdom, who had previously taken part in breast cancer screening were recruited via a market research panel. They completed an online survey assessing willingness to rece…
Knowledge of cervical cancer risk factors and symptoms among women in a refugee settlement
A significant proportion of women in Palabek refugee settlement had not heard about cervical cancer. Refugee health services providers could increase awareness of cervical cancer risk factors and symptoms through health education in order to promote risk reduction behaviours and guide women during symptoms appraisal. Single women and those who lived more than one kilo metre from nearest health facility in home country could be a priority group fo…
Member Checking
The trustworthiness of results is the bedrock of high quality qualitative research. Member checking, also known as participant or respondent validation, is a technique for exploring the credibility of results. Data or results are returned to participants to check for accuracy and resonance with their experiences. Member checking is often mentioned as one in a list of validation techniques. This simplistic reporting might not acknowledge the value…
Barriers and Triggers to Seeking Help for Potentially Malignant Oral Symptoms
Barriers to seeking help related to beliefs about symptoms, the health care professional (HCP), and an individual's circumstances. The main triggers to seeking help included the symptomatology and the presence of another reason for visiting an HCP CONCLUSIONS: The results are discussed with reference to their implications for interventions aimed at reducing patient delay
