|a Background: Cervical cancer rates are dropping in the United States, but this disease still disproportionately affects low income and minority women. Pap screening is widely available but follow-up after abnormal Pap screening is under-utilized. A gap exists in the healthcare system for this population of women. Purpose: To determine if selected client dynamic variables and provider dynamic variables affect likelihood of follow-up after an abnormal Pap test in low income and minority women. Theoretical Framework: Cox’s Interaction Model of Client Health Behavior Methods: A retrospective, correlational, cross-sectional design was used to examine some of the health beliefs and attitudes of women who attend a hospital-based gynecology clinic. Participants were asked to complete three surveys: the Powe Fatalism Inventory, The Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine – Short Form, and the Health Care Relationship Trust Scale. Results were compared to the participant’s Pap smear and receipt of follow up care within six months of the Pap smear. Results: This sample of women had low fatalism scores, high healthcare provider trust scores, and health literacy at the 8th grade level on average. No differences in scores were found between women who returned for care on time and those who were late. Conclusions: Fatalism, provider trust, and health literacy did not predict follow-up after abnormal Pap screening for this sample. |
