| 1 | Stomach cancer screening and preventive behaviors in relatives of gastric cancer patients显示文摘AIM:To investigate gastric cancer screening and preventive behaviors among the relatives of patients with gastric cancer[i.e.,gastric cancer relatives(GCRs)].METHODS:We examined the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005(KNHANESⅢ) database and compared the gastric cancer screening and preventive behaviors of GCRs(n=261)with those of non-GCRs(n=454)and controls without a family history of cancer(n=2842).RESULTS:The GCRs were more likely to undergo gastric cancer screening compared with the control group(39.2%vs 32.3%,adjusted odds ratio:1.43,CI:1.05-1.95),although the absolute screening rate was low.Dietary patterns and smoking rates did not differ significantly between the groups,and a high proportion of GCRs reported inappropriate dietary habits(i.e.,approximately 95%consumed excessive sodium,30% were deficient in vitamin C,and 85%were deficient in dietary fiber).CONCLUSION:The gastric cancer screening and preventive behaviors of GCRs have yet to be improved.To increase awareness among GCRs,systematic family education programs should be implemented. | Jung Min Kang Dong Wook Shin Young Min Kwon Sang Min Park Min Sun Park Jin Ho Park Ki Young Son Be Long Cho | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,30: | 4 |
| 2 | Perceived risk as a barrier to appropriate diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome显示文摘AIM:To evaluate perceived risk,diagnostic testing,and acceptance of a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)among the Korean laypersons.METHODS:We designed a conceptual framework to evaluate the health-seeking behavior of subjects based on a knowledge,attitude,and practice model.We developed a vignette-based questionnaire about IBS based on a literature review and focused group interviews.The vignette described a 40-year-old woman who meets the RomeⅢcriteria for IBS without red-flag signs.It was followed by questions about demographic characteristics,health behaviors,IBS symptoms,risk perception,perceived need for diagnostic tests,and acceptance of a positive diagnosis of IBS.Weplanned a nationwide survey targeting laypersons without IBS and between the ages of 20 and 69 years.Survey participants were selected by quota sampling stratified by gender,age,and nationwide location.A multivariate logistic model was constructed based on literature reviews,univariate analysis,and a stepwise selection method to investigate correlations between the perceived risk,need for diagnostic tests,and acceptance of a positive diagnosis.RESULTS:Of 2354 eligible households,1000 subjects completed the survey and 983 subjects were analyzed,excluding those who met symptom criteria for IBS.After reading the IBS vignette,the majority of subjects(86.8%)responded that the patient was at increased risk of severe disease.The most frequent concern was colon cancer(59.8%),followed by surgical condition(51.5%).Most subjects responded the patient needs diagnostic tests(97.2%).Colonoscopy was the most commonly required test(79.5%).Less than half of the respondents requested a stool examination(45.0%),blood test(40.7%),abdominal ultrasound(36.0%),or computed tomography(20.2%).The subjects who felt increased risk were more likely to see a need for colonoscopy[adjusted odds ratio(a OR)=2.10,95%CI:1.38-3.18].When asked about the positive diagnosis,the most frequent response was that'the patient would not be reassured'(65.7%).The increased risk perception group was less likely to be reassured by a positive diagnosis of IBS,compared to the other respondents(a OR=0.52,95%CI:0.34-0.78).CONCLUSION:For IBS diagnosis,increased risk perception is a possible barrier to the appropriate use of diagnostic tests and to the patient’s acceptance of a positive diagnosis. | Eunmi Ahn Ki Young Son Dong Wook Shin Min Kyu Han Hyejin Lee Ah Reum An Eun Ho Kim Be Long Cho | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,48: | 2 |
| 3 | Factors associated with use of gastric cancer screening services in Korea显示文摘AIM: To identify the factors associated with participation in gastric cancer screening programs. METHODS: Using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005 (KNHANES Ⅲ), a nationwide health-related surveyin Korea, a cross-sectional study was performed to investigate the multiple factors associated with gastric cancer screening attendance among persons aged at least 40 years. The study population included 4593 individuals who completed a gastric cancer screening questionnaire and had no previous cancer history. Four groups ofindividual-level or environmental level covariates were considered as potential associated factors.RESULTS: Using KNHANES Ⅲdata, an estimated31.71% of Korean individuals aged at least 40 years adhered to gastric cancer screening recommendations. Subjects who graduated from elementary school[adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 1.66; 95% CI: 1.21-2.26], middle/high school (aOR, 1.38; 95% CI: 1.01-1.89), and university or higher (aOR, 1.64; 95% CI: 1.13-2.37) were more likely to undergo gastric cancer screening than those who received no formal education at all. The population with the highest income tertile had more attendance at gastric screening compared to those with the lowest income tertile (aOR, 1.36; 95% CI: 1.06-1.73). Gastric screening was also negatively associated with excessive alcohol consumption (aOR, 0.71; 95% CI: 0.53-0.96). A positive attitude to preventive medical evaluation was significantly associated with better participation in gastric cancer screening programs (aOR, 5.26; 95% CI: 4.35-6.35). CONCLUSION: Targeted interventions for vulnerable populations and public campaigns about preventive medical evaluation are needed to increase gastric cancer screening participation and reduce gastric cancer mortality. | Young Min Kwon Hyung Taek Lim Kiheon Lee Be Long Cho Min Sun Park Ki Young Son Sang Min Park | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,29: | 2 |
