Tillit och misstro : om synen på mammografiscreening vid bröstcancer
Författare
Summary, in English
cancer. Twenty-eight women were interviewed in six focus group settings. Data were processed through a thematic analysis and theories of coping were used as the analytical tool. The findings show how the confidence in the value of mammography screening was on trial in connection with the announcement of the diagnosis, especially for the women who discovered their breast cancer themselves between two screenings (interval cancers). The way the tumour was discovered
marked a watershed between feeling confident or not to the value of mammography screening. The women in the study used three forms of coping strategies to continue maintaining confidence in the value of mammography screening: adaptation, control and avoidance. Overall, these strategies have been interpreted as an adaptation to the welfare state’s health ambitions and an enabling to continue the participation when the invitation for mammography screening arrives in the mailbox, regardless of their own experiences.
