简要总结
Investigators conducted a randomized controlled trial to evaluate effectiveness of doctor's counselling using a culturally-responsive pamphlet in increasing mammogram uptake among Malay-Muslim women attending the clinic. Those in intervention arm received 8-minutes doctor's counselling on mammogram and breast cancer while those in control arm received 8-minutes doctor's counselling on usual care - dietary care. Investigators recruited 319 Malay-Muslim women aged 50-69 years old who have not undergone a mammogram in the past 2 years. Investigators used Poisson regression to determine effectiveness of intervention in increasing mammogram uptake and to determine any change in knowledge, perceptions and faith-based beliefs on breast cancer and mammogram after counselling.
详细描述
A randomized control trial was conducted at Jurong Polyclinic with the intervention arm receiving the enhanced culturally appropriate intervention, and the control arm, the usual standard of care for mammography.
Inclusion criteria Malay-Muslim women aged 50-69 years who are citizens and permanent residents of Singapore without known history of breast cancer and have not undergone screening in the last two years will be eligible for the study. These participants were recruited from Jurong Polyclinic when they came for their chronic or acute care needs.
A written informed consent was taken.
Intervention:
The target group received "enhanced intervention" in the form of culturally appropriate pamphlets/flipchart (Annex 1) and doctor counselling. After the counselling, all the women in the intervention group were referred to the staff-in-charge for a mammogram appointment in the polyclinic where they will be able to make an appointment voluntarily. All appointments were given within a period of 3 to 4 weeks. They were also given a pamphlet on breast cancer and mammogram as reinforcement after the counselling.
