Preventive Healthcare Services

1.2K
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:

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

148
Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

474
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Longitudinal Research

12.6K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Actuarial Approach01:20

Actuarial Approach

143
The actuarial approach, a statistical method originally developed for life insurance risk assessment, is widely used to calculate survival rates in clinical and population studies. This method accounts for participants lost to follow-up or those who die from causes unrelated to the study, ensuring a more accurate representation of survival probabilities.
Consider the example of a high-risk surgical procedure with significant early-stage mortality. A two-year clinical study is conducted,...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

1.8K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Physically active adults aged 18-49 show higher cancer screening intentions when they have social support and better perceived control. Interventions should focus on these factors to improve cancer prevention efforts.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Health Behavior Research
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Cancer prevention involves lifestyle changes and routine screening.
  • An asset-based approach targeting physically active individuals can reduce cancer risk in groups with low screening rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify factors associated with cancer screening intentions in young to middle-aged adults using the theory of planned behavior (TPB).
  • To inform educational and behavioral interventions for promoting cancer prevention and screening.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional, web-based survey of physically active adults aged 18-49.
  • Assessed attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intention to screen for cancer.
  • Hierarchical linear regression analyses examined sociodemographic and TPB influences on screening intention.

Main Results:

  • Age, female sex, routine doctor visits, knowledge of physical activity's role in cancer risk reduction, and motivation for physical activity were linked to higher screening intention.
  • TPB constructs (subjective norms, perceived behavioral control) along with other factors explained 31% of the variance in cancer screening intention.

Conclusions:

  • The TPB can guide the development of asset-based interventions to promote cancer screening in physically active adults.
  • Educational interventions should aim to increase social support for screening and enhance perceived behavioral control.
