Thus, guided by the Health Belief Model, we developed a multi-component intervention to enhance Korean American women's knowledge and beliefs about screening and to increase screening uptake. The intervention group (N=341) received a culturally-relevant cancer education program and navigation services. The control group (N=335) received a similar program on cervical cancer risk and screening, along with information about free/low-cost screening sites. Women's knowledge and beliefs were measured at baseline and post-program, and screening behavior was assessed at 12-months post-program. It was hypothesized that the intervention would lead to positive changes in health beliefs and knowledge about cervical cancer and screening, which were then evaluated as potential mediators of the intervention on screening behavior. From pre- to post-program, the intervention group reported significantly greater increases in knowledge (<i>p</i><0.01) and perceived risk (<i>p</i>=0.02) and significantly greater decreases in perceived barriers (<i>p</i><0.001) compared to the control group. However, changes in knowledge and health beliefs did not mediate intervention effects on screening behavior. Use of navigation services was associated with greater odds of obtaining screening (OR=3.15, 95% CI=2.28-4.01, <i>p</i><0.001) and attenuated the significant effect of group assignment (intervention vs. control) on screening behavior to non-significance. In conclusion, although our intervention program was effective in improving women's knowledge and beliefs about screening, delivery of navigation services was the critical component in increasing cervical cancer screening rates in this underserved population.</p>","PeriodicalId":46922,"journal":{"name":"Asian American Journal of Psychology","volume":"15 3","pages":"196-204"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11450956/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142381981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cancer is the leading cause of death among Chinese Americans while heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. overall. Foreign-born immigrants are more likely to be diagnosed with advanced stage cancers than their native-born counterparts. Patients with advanced cancer have specific psychosocial needs, such as end-of-life concerns and existential distress. Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy (MCP), which enhances a sense of meaning in life to increase QOL, is among the most promising psychosocial treatments for advanced cancer patients, having demonstrated efficacy in several randomized controlled trials. Our preliminary qualitative work suggested a meaning-centered intervention was acceptable but required adaptation to ensure ecological validity among Chinese cancer patients. This paper presents the cultural and linguistic adaptation of Meaning-Centered Program for Chinese Americans with advanced cancer (MCP-Ch), which was informed by the Ecological Validity Model (EVM) and Psychotherapy Adaptation and Modification Framework (PAMF) for cultural adaptation of evidence-based interventions. Implementation considerations, which will be assessed in the next phase of the project, are also discussed. MCP-Ch is used as a case example to illustrate how to adapt culturally syntonic and sustainable evidence-based psychosocial interventions for racial/ethnic minority cancer populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":46922,"journal":{"name":"Asian American Journal of Psychology","volume":"15 3","pages":"262-273"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11487614/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142477444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that biculturalism was not associated with cigarette use directly; however, this association was mediated by cigarette use risk perception and resistance to peer and adult influence. In other words, higher biculturalism was associated with more risk perception and then more resistance to peer and adult influence, which sequentially predicted less cigarette use. Similarly, the association between biculturalism and betel nut use was mediated by betel nut use risk perception and resistance to peer and adult influence. Higher biculturalism was associated with greater risk perception and then more resistance to peer and adult influence, which in turn resulted in less betel nut use.
