RESUMO
Purpose@#This study was performed to identify predictors of the regular mammography screening of Korean Chinese women in Korea. @*Methods@#244 Korean Chinese women living in Suwon and Seoul-Gyeonggi area participated in the survey. In this study, a total of six measurement tools were used, including knowledge about breast cancer and mammography, Eastern cultural views, and health belief model subfactors. Predictors of the regular mammography screening were analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. @*Results@#Only 48.77% of participants underwent regular mammography screening. Participants who underwent regular mammography screening had a longer period of stay (OR 1.1, 95% CI 1.02~1.17), had medical insurance (OR 24.38, 95% CI 2.78~213.55), had more knowledge (OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.04~1.39), subscribed to fewer Asian cultural views (OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.95~0.99), and confronted fewer barriers (OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.93~0.99) than those who did not. @*Conclusion@#Regarding the mammography screening, it was found that for Korean-Chinese women, having insurance had a greater influence than cultural background. For Korean-Chinese women, insurance was linked to practical economic matters and this seems to have undoubtedly affected the conduct of mammography screening.
