Abstract
Introduction
This study examines the motives of women for agreeing or refusing to have a mammogram.
Method
Three hundred and ten participants were recruited. Two questionnaires listing the motives for undergoing or refusing to undergo a mammogram were developed. Intolerance of uncertainty, worry, anxiety, personality were respectively rated by: EII, QIPS, GAD-7, BHI-24.
Result
Seven facilitators were interpreted within the framework of Reversal Theory: Interest of early diagnosis, Quality of care, Habit, Collectivist perspective, Following the doctor's advice, Cancer(s) in entourage, Hypochondriac beliefs. Six barriers were revealed: Absence of cancer in entourage, Anxiety, Physical and moral pain, Lack of information, Spatiotemporal difficulties, Aspiration for freedom. The frequency of mammography was positively linked to the age, number of children, Habit, and negatively to Physical and moral pain, Lack of information and Spatiotemporal difficulties. Age and Habit had a positive effect on the frequency of screening while the Spatiotemporal difficulties had a negative effect.
Conclusion
This study provides a better understanding of the motives that lead women to accept or refuse performing this examination. It could be useful to the medical profession and more broadly to the field of public health.
