Fear, Anxiety, Worry, and Breast Cancer Screening Behavior: A Critical Review
Open accessAbstract
Anxiety, fear, and worry are variously described as facilitators and barriers of breast cancer screening. However, several contradictions are evident in this research. A review article described the literature regarding the relations among fear, anxiety, and worry, along with emotion regulatory styles, and breast cancer screening behaviors before critiquing it in an attempt to uncover preliminary explanations for these discrepancies. Three main conclusions are drawn. First, it is suggested that researchers need to clearly define the components of cancer and the screening process that women are afraid of as each may bear a different relation to screening behavior. Second, greater care needs to be taken to employ psychometrically valid and reliable measures of fear and anxiety. Third, studies need to more systematically test findings across the minority and ethnic groups at greatest risk. A framework is presented and suggestions regarding the continued development of this promising area of research are made.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
