Nearly all cervical cancer cases (99%) are linked to genital infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). The prevalence of HPV is increasing, and many women are at risk of exposure but lack the knowledge of its existence and its relationship to cervical cancer. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and health beliefs of rural Jamaican women regarding cervical cancer screening and to identify predictor variables that influenced their intent to engage in cervical cancer screening. Theoretical Framework: Constructs of the Health Belief Model framework tested in the study included: individual perceptions of susceptibility, seriousness, benefits, and barriers on intent to engage in cervical cancer screening. The Purnell Model for Cultural Competence examined religiosity. Methods: A convenience sample of 184 rural Jamaican women age 21-70 years old participated in this quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational design study. Six predictors\u2014age, level of education, monthly household income, awareness of HPV and cervical cancer, attitudes toward cancer, and health beliefs\u2014were examined for relationships with the outcome of intention to engage in cervical cancer screening. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, ANOVA, and multiple regression statistics. Results: The findings of the study showed an inverse relationship between intent to engage in cervical cancer screening and the variables age (r = -.28, p \u003C .01) and overall health beliefs (r = -.23, p \u003C 0.1). Regression analysis found age and health beliefs to be powerful inverse predictors of women\u2019s intent to screen for cervical cancer. Conclusion: The study provided new information about the health beliefs of rural Jamaican women and cervical cancer screening. Future research based on these findings is appropriate for the continued development of culturally appropriate educational interventions in cervical cancer prevention among rural Jamaican women." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Classification" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "RC280.U8 M37 2013" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publication Date" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "2013" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Genre" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Academic theses" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Holding Location" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University Archives and Special Collections" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Resource Identifier" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "RC280.U8 M37 2013_MarshEvon" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Language" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "English" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Permanent Link" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "http://sobekcmsrv.barrynet.barry.edu/AA00001587/00001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Creator" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Marsh, Evon May" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Note" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Thesis (Ph.D.)--Barry University, 2013.", "Includes bibliographical references (leaves 149-171)." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Physical Description" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "xv, 231 leaves ; 28 cm" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publisher" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Place of Publication" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Miami, Fla." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Type" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Book" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Rights Management" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Copyright Evon May Marsh.
