Area Of Science
- Public Health
- Oncology
- Health Services Research
Background
- Mammography is crucial for early breast cancer detection.
- Understanding screening barriers in specific populations is vital for targeted interventions.
Purpose Of The Study
- To assess mammogram screening rates among Saudi women.
- To identify barriers and facilitators influencing mammogram uptake.
Main Methods
- Systematic review adhering to PRISMA guidelines.
- Searched multiple databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL Plus, Google Scholar) for studies from 2000-2024.
- Thematic synthesis using the socioecological model.
Main Results
- Included 39 studies; nine indicated low adherence to mammogram screening.
- Identified individual (knowledge, beliefs, fear), interpersonal (family, providers), and social (health system) factors.
- Barriers and facilitators operate at multiple socioecological levels.
Conclusions
- Interventions should target all levels of the socioecological model.
- Tailored strategies are needed to overcome identified barriers.
- Addressing specific factors will enhance mammogram screening adherence.
