Attitudes01:54

Attitudes

Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...
Preventive Healthcare Services01:30

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:
Surveys02:16

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern01:29

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern

Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:
Assessment of the Cardiovascular System I: Subjective Data01:23

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System I: Subjective Data

A thorough health history and physical assessment are essential for identifying cardiovascular disease (CVD) symptoms and distinguishing them from other health issues.
Initial Enquiry
Ask the patient about their primary concern and thoroughly explore all reported symptoms.
Medical History
Investigate past illnesses affecting the cardiovascular system, such as angina, anemia, rheumatic fever, congenital heart disease, stroke, thrombophlebitis, dysrhythmias, varicosities
Inquire about symptoms...
Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Summary

Women who experienced health behavior screening by providers reported higher acceptance of routine screening. This suggests providers can screen for sensitive topics without patient offense, despite the need for further causal research.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Patient-Provider Communication

Background:

  • Physician organizations recommend screening for various health behaviors.
  • Healthcare providers express concern about patient acceptance of sensitive health screening questions.
  • This study investigates the relationship between patient screening experiences and their acceptance of such screenings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if there is a relationship between health care screening by providers and patient acceptance of that screening.
  • To assess patient attitudes towards screening for eight different health behaviors.
  • To analyze the likelihood of agreement with routine screening based on past screening experiences.

Main Methods:

  • Two cross-sectional telephone surveys of female patients aged 18+ were conducted two years apart.
  • Patients reported on screening experiences for exercise, smoking, alcohol/drug use, stress, sexual functioning, home safety/violence, and guns.
  • Attitudes toward screening and odds ratios for agreement with screening based on past experience were calculated.

Main Results:

  • High acceptance was reported for exercise (75%), smoking (72%), alcohol/drugs (68%), and stress (62%) screening.
  • Lower acceptance rates were observed for sexual functioning (40%), safety/violence (40%), and guns (23%) screening.
  • Patients who had been screened were significantly more likely to agree with routine screening for all behaviors (ORs ranging from 1.6 to 4.4).

Conclusions:

  • Women screened for a health behavior demonstrated greater acceptance of routine screening for that behavior.
  • The study suggests healthcare providers can screen for sensitive health behaviors without causing offense.
  • Limitations include surveying only women with established primary care provider relationships and a cross-sectional design precluding causality determination.
