|a Background: Despite the effectiveness of early detection and screening programs to reduce breast cancer mortality and morbidity rates, preventative health behaviors remain low among Vietnamese American women. Florida is the fourth-largest state where Vietnamese people reside. Yet, no research study has been conducted on this growing population. Purpose: To determine if there is an influence of acculturation levels and health beliefs on breast cancer screening among Vietnamese American women living in Florida. Theoretical Framework: The Health Belief Model (HBM) provided the theoretical framework for this study by utilizing seven constructs: perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, confidence, and health motivation. Methods: Two hundred willing participants were asked to complete a self-administered demographic survey, Champion’s Health Belief Model Scale (HBMS), and Suinn-Lew Self Identity Acculturation Scale (SL-ASIA). Multiple regression analysis were used to analyze data. Results: Findings indicated that acculturation was positively associated with breast cancer screening behaviors while health beliefs were not. Age, health insurance, and marital status were found to be significantly associated, while education and employment were not. Conclusions: It is hopeful that the findings foster the development of a culturally and linguistically appropriate educational materials and outreach programs on breast cancer and screening recommendations within the Vietnamese American community in Florida. |
