RESUMO
AIM: The aim of this study was to summarize the latest research reports about immigrant women and attendance in breast cancer screening. DESIGN: Scoping review. METHODS: Literature searches were made in CINAHL, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Oatd and Oalster. Twenty-three articles were included in the study. Data were analysed with inductive content analysis. RESULTS: Out of data four main categories were formed: attendance rates, incidence, barriers and facilitators, and knowledge and perception. The results show that attendance rates, barriers and facilitators for attendance, knowledge and experience of breast cancer and breast cancer screening differ between several factors such as the woman's migrant background, country of origin, religion, length of stay in the new home country and sociodemographic factors.
