Enquête nationale auprès des Canadiennes: pratiques, influences et satisfaction en matière de santé du sein

Lynnette Leeseberg Stamler, Barbara Thomas, Kathryn Lafreniere, Jennifer Out

Abstract


Une enquête antérieure réalisée auprès de plus de 900 femmes travaillant dans l’industrie automobile locale avait permis de déterminer plusieurs influences et préférences en matière de dépistage du cancer du sein. La présente étude visait à étendre la population de l’enquête à l’ensemble des femmes du Canada et à déterminer la satisfaction de ces dernières vis-à-vis des programmes organisés (gouvernementaux) de dépistage mammaire au sein de leur zone géographique. À l’aide d’un système d’appel aléatoire, on a interviewé 1224 femmes de 25 ans et plus, en français ou en anglais, et leurs réponses ont été saisies dans un système d’ITAO. Les intervieweuses utilisaient une version modifiée de Health Care Practices: A Worksite Survey [Pratiques de santé : enquête sur le lieu de travail]. On a effectué une analyse des résultats par âge et par région géographique. Les résultats rejoignaient ceux d’études locales antérieures et témoignaient de la grande satisfaction envers les services organisés de dépistage du cancer du sein, mais aussi de la faible utilisation qu’en font les clientes potentielles qui les connaissent mal.
