Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

低迷するマンモグラフィを中心とした乳がん検診の受診率向上を目的に,これまでに検診受診経験の全くない中高年期女性の心理社会的背景を明らかにしつつ,介入研究をおこなった。わが国では,乳がん検診未受診者を対象に心理社会的背景を踏まえた介入研究はなく,本研究はその足掛かりとなる貴重な研究と言える。
本研究で用いたパンフレット介入は,検診受診への動機づけを高めるうえでは有用であった。しかしながら,介入後1年間における受診者の割合は4%程度で,実際の受診行動の促進に有効とは言えなかった。ただし一方で,検診受診に関与する新たな心理的な要因が見つかるなど,今後さらなる発展が示唆される内容であった。
