Recommendations for a Communication Strategy to Support Informed Decision‐Making About Self or Clinician Sampling for Cervical Screening in the UK
BACKGROUND: Cervical screening for high-risk Human Papillomavirus subtypes is offered to those eligible in the UK via the NHS cervical screening programmes. However, uptake of cervical screening continues to remain below the national target of 80%. Groups less likely to participate include people from low socioeconomic groups, ethnic minority backgrounds, younger/older age and/or LGBTQ group identity. The cervical screening-eligible population co…
Perceptions of the Impact of Comorbidity on the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme
INTRODUCTION: The impact of multiple health conditions on bowel cancer screening is currently unknown. We explored the impact of multiple health conditions on bowel cancer screening perceptions, experience and clinical management decisions following a positive stool test. METHODS: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted remotely with Bowel Screening Wales staff (n = 16) stratified by regional location and role and with screening par…
Development and psychometric testing of the self-regulatory questionnaire for lung cancer screening (SRQ-LCS)
BACKGROUND: Research implicates psychological factors in low uptake of lung cancer screening. We developed and psychometrically tested a standardised measure of these psychological determinants in preparation for a prospective, longitudinal cohort study of screening uptake. METHODS: Leventhal's Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation of Health and Illness provided the theoretical framework to generate the initial item pool. Items were refined durin…
Attitudes towards the integration of smoking cessation into lung cancer screening in the United Kingdom
INTRODUCTION: There is limited research exploring how smoking cessation treatment should be implemented into lung cancer screening in the United Kingdom. This study aimed to understand attitudes and preferences regarding the integration of smoking cessation support within lung cancer screening from the perspective of those eligible. METHODS: Thirty-one lung cancer screening eligible individuals aged 55-80 years with current or former smoking hist…
Acceptability of a standalone written leaflet for the National Health Service for England Targeted Lung Health Check Programme
BACKGROUND: Many countries are introducing low-dose computed tomography screening programmes for people at high risk of lung cancer. Effective communication strategies that convey risks and benefits, including unfamiliar concepts and outcome probabilities based on population risk, are critical to achieving informed choice and mitigating inequalities in uptake. METHODS: This study investigated the acceptability of an aspect of NHS England's commun…
Health behaviour change among UK adults during the pandemic
A substantial proportion of participants reported attempts to change health behaviours in the initial survey phase. However, the lack of change observed over time indicated that overall motivation to engage in healthy behaviours was sustained among the UK adult population, from a period shortly after the first lockdown toward the end of the second prolonged lockdown
Psychosocial influences on help-seeking behaviour for cancer in low-income and lower middle-income countries
Improving cancer symptom awareness and help-seeking among adults living in socioeconomically deprived communities in the UK using a facilitated health check
Retrospectively registered with ISRCTN (Ref: ISRCTN16872545 ) on 12.01.2018
Attitudes towards lung cancer screening in a population sample
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Routine UK lung cancer screening is not yet available, thus understanding barriers to participation in lung screening could help maximize effectiveness if introduced. METHODS: Population-based survey of 1007 adults aged 16 and over in Wales using random quota sampling. Computer-assisted face-to-face interviews included demographic variables (age, gender, smoking, social group…
Feasibility and acceptability of a cancer symptom awareness intervention for adults living in socioeconomically deprived communities
Recruitment was feasible in community and healthcare settings, with good reach to adults from low socioeconomic groups. The health check intervention was acceptable and demonstrated potential for improved cancer awareness and symptom presentation, especially for non-specific symptoms, in communities most affected by cancer
Women's perspectives on human papillomavirus self‐sampling in the context of the UK cervical screening programme
BACKGROUND: Testing for human papillomavirus (HPV) is being incorporated into the cervical screening programme, with the probable future introduction of HPV as a primary test and a possibility of HPV self-sampling. In anticipation of this development, we sought to inform future policy and practice by identifying potential barriers to HPV self-sampling. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey of 194 women aged 20-64 years was conducted. Logistic regress…
Patients’ views on the use of an Option Grid for knee osteoarthritis in physiotherapy clinical encounters
BACKGROUND: are a type of decision support tool specifically designed to be used during clinical encounters. OBJECTIVE: To explore patients' views of the Option Grid encounter tool used in clinical consultations with physiotherapists, in comparison with usual care, within a patient population who are likely to be disadvantaged by age and low health literacy. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews with 72 patients (36 who had been given an Option Gri…
Barriers to cancer symptom presentation among people from low socioeconomic groups
The complex interaction between individual characteristics and socio-environmental factors is important for understanding cancer symptom presentation behaviour, especially in the context of socioeconomic deprivation. Interventions targeted at deprived communities should take into account the wider social influences on symptom presentation behaviour
Anxiety and Adherence to Breast Self-Examination in Women With a Family History of Breast Cancer
OBJECTIVE: Previous research has indicated low rates of adherence to monthly breast self-examination (BSE) in women with a family history of breast cancer, and anxiety has been identified as a major factor that may interfere with regular self-examination. However, the direction of the relationship between anxiety and BSE frequency remains unclear, with some studies indicating that high anxiety promotes adherence and others indicating that it lead…
