少数民族妇女乳腺病认知的研究进展

Cognition of prevention and treatment of breast diseases in ethnic minority women: a review of literature

对乳腺病的认知程度是影响妇女身心健康的一个关键因素,国内外关于不同民族人群对乳腺病认知的研究显示,不同民族人群对乳腺病的认知程度存在差异。本文聚焦少数民族妇女群体,梳理现有领域内的研究成果,概述了在地方民族文化背景下的少数民族妇女对乳腺病认知的现状,分析了认知水平的影响因素。综述结果表明:少数民族妇女受民族语言、民族文化与风俗习惯、生活方式、社会地位、信息来源渠道等诸多因素的影响,对乳腺病的总体认知水平偏低,特别是乳腺癌相关知识、乳腺癌预防和早期筛查的知晓率较低。我国少数民族妇女乳腺病认知水平的提高,仍面临着不少困难。未来的探究应以新时代为契机,提高对少数民族妇女的关注度,结合运用定性与定量方法,并增加研究民族的数量及样本量,通过学术研究助力改善少数民族妇女群体的健康素养。

The cognition level about breast disease is an important factor affecting the physical and mental health of women.The research in cognitions on breast cancer discovers cognitive differences among different ethnic minority women at home and abroad.The paper reviews the research in the cognition of ethnic minority women and summarizes the current situation of ethnic minority women’s cognition in the context of local culture,analyzing related influencing factors.The results indicated that ethnic minority women were affected by many factors such as native language,culture and customs,lifestyle,social status,and information sources.Their overall cognition on breast disease was at a low level,especially the awareness of related knowledge,prevention,and early screening.There are many difficulties in improving their cognition on breast disease in China.Researchers should take the new era as an opportunity to attach more attention to their cognition research with both qualitative and quantitative methods,increase the number and sample size of ethnic groups so as to improve the health literacy of ethnic minority women through academic research.
