ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Using the Andersen's behavioral model of health services use as a framework, this study aims to examine factors (predisposing, needs, and enabling) related to American Indian (AI) women's cervical cancer knowledge.METHODS:
Andersen's behavioral model of health services was used to examine factors predisposing, needs, and enabling related to AI women's cervical cancer knowledge. A sample of 259 AI women residing in the Northern Plains was recruited using a convenience sampling strategy. Cervical cancer knowledge was measured using guidelines from the American Cancer Society. Three predisposing factors, six enabling factors, and four need factors were observed.Result:
The mean score of knowledge was 9.11 out of 13. Higher cancer knowledge was associated with 3 enabling factors (higher education, higher HPV knowledge, and use of TV/radio to gain health literacy) and one needs factor (experience in hospitalization).CONCLUSION:
Our findings indicate that culturally sensitive educational interventions, especially those using media, to increase cervical cancer knowledge are needed among AI women.Palavras-chave
