Abstract:
Background: Chronic diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and preventative screenings are the most effective way to reduce the risk of developing a chronic disease. However, many individuals do not take advantage of preventative screening services for chronic diseases, especially in rural areas. In this study, we investigated (1) the factors that affect people’s willingness to participate in chronic disease screenings and (2) reasons why people have not undergone screening for a chronic disease in the past.

Abstract That many caregivers experience some degree of burden is well-established, but little research has investigated the association of burden on caregiver preventative health behaviors. A lack of adherence to these behaviors, including to recommended colonoscopy and mammography screenings, routine vaccinations, annual clinic visits, and HIV testing, may portend worsening health outcomes for family caregivers if diseases are left undetected or untreated; such outcomes could also be caused by and contribute to the crisis of lack of care to meet demand.

The Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV), which includes comprehensive preventative assessments and screenings, is associated with improved preventative services, including vaccination and cancer screenings.

Mammography is recognised as a non-invasive diagnostic technique; yet, there exists a notable deficiency in the frequency of routine preventative screenings among Polish women. The aim of this research was to address the following inquiries: why there is a lack of widespread participation among women in Poland in cost-free tests that have the potential to save their lives, and what factors might motivate their engagement in preventative programmes.

Well-Child Examinations are an integral part of monitoring growth and development for children. These visits allow for establishment of a therapeutic relationship between patient and caregiver, and provide opportunities to screen for underlying conditions while simultaneously following growth and development milestones. Well-child examinations provide opportunities for parents to voice concerns and help to identify those children at risk for delays or underlying medical conditions. When these conditions are identified early, they tend to have an improvement of outcomes. Since the core items to

The PSA test revolutionized prostate cancer detection as it is the first biomarker available to physicians to identify prostate cancers that could not be detected by a digital rectal exam. However, unrestricted utilization of the PSA test in asymptomatic men led to an increase in overdiagnosis and treatment-related morbidity.
