Area of Science:

Public Health
Health Equity
Qualitative Research

Background:

Cancer is a leading cause of death for Middle Eastern women aged 40-79.
Refugees experience significant disparities in cancer screenings due to resettlement challenges and competing life stressors.
Central Massachusetts has a large refugee population from the Middle East.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore breast, colorectal, and cervical cancer screening experiences among Arabic-speaking refugee women in Massachusetts.
To identify facilitators and barriers to cancer screening in this population.
To inform culturally sensitive healthcare interventions.

Main Methods:

Qualitative descriptive study using semistructured individual interviews.
11 Arabic-speaking refugee women participated (average age 47, from Iraq, Syria, Egypt).
Conventional content analysis of interview data.

Main Results:

Three themes emerged: Facilitators of Cancer Screening, Barriers to Cancer Screening, and Interpreter-Related Factors.
Positive experiences included providers sharing knowledge about screenings.
Barriers included language, the invasive nature of screenings, and appointment scheduling.

Conclusions:

Arabic-speaking refugee women face unique health challenges related to cancer screenings.
Culturally sensitive care and strong community resource relationships are crucial for nurses to address these challenges.
Improving communication and addressing practical obstacles can enhance cancer screening uptake.
