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.
