Aims: This study aimed to create a structural equation model to evaluate the associations among demographic factors, health education, breast cancer-related knowledge, attitudes, and breast self-examination behavior among Chinese female college students.
Methods: A survey was undertaken using a self-administered questionnaire and targeting 2233 students from Eastern China. Structural equation modeling with the bootstrap approach was utilized to estimate the interrelationships and the strength of the associations among measured variables based on the hypothetical model.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated how oral health knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) relate to self-rated oral health and overall oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among Chinese college students.
- Of 2000 participants, 1751 completed an online questionnaire, revealing good levels of oral health knowledge and attitudes, but lacking in practical application of oral health.
- Results indicate that better oral health knowledge positively influences attitudes and practices, which in turn affects self-rated oral health and OHRQoL, though attitudes negatively impact OHRQoL; the findings both support and reveal limitations in the KAP theory.
Aim: Breast cancer is the most frequent malignant tumor among Chinese women. Breast self-examination (BSE) is a simple, effective method for early detection of screening and it is essential for the prevention and control of breast cancer. The aim of this study was to create a hypothetical model to determine the factors influencing women's BSE behavior in Eastern China.
