In recent years, the incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancer (CC) have increased among young women. Cervical screening (CCS) is crucial to reducing CC in a country such as Japan, where it challenging raise HPV vaccination rates. The purpose this study was identify psychological personal characteristics relating CCS participation people by using Health Belief Model (HBM). For cross-sectional study, an internet survey conducted between February-March 2018. Based on HBM characteristics, χ2 tests logistic analyses were used factors influencing CCS. Responses obtained from 816 women their 20s 30s analysis. HBM-based odds ratios significantly higher for "cues screening" "barriers at time screening", while before showed lower ratios. On other hand, found that presence children having regular health checkups affected attributes significant decision-making. Therefore, important create proactive measures encourage younger undergo medical examinations.

To date, many Arab countries within the Middle East are facing political, financial, and social instability from war conflicts. These conflicts have led to severe resources shortages sometimes complete breakdowns in cancer care diagnosis. Cancer diagnosis at early stages is most vital step achieving optimal outcomes. Shortages diagnostic services meant that people areas of conflict ultimately deprived these their own countries. Therefore, sufferers must bear travel expenses neighboring order seek services. A lack prevention, screening, for this population known deepen deficit areas. Additionally, financial burden traveling abroad alongside need secure childcare time off work can be overwhelming.

Cancer represents a substantial health burden for refugees and host countries. However, no reliable data on the costs of cancer care are available, which limits planning official development assistance in humanitarian settings.

Continuity of care is important for the health aging individuals with comorbidities. When initial coronavirus mitigation campaigns involved messaging such as "Stay at home-stay safe," and banned provision non-urgent care, at-risk patients depending upon regular consultations general practitioners (GPs) faced confusion about possibility seeking non-COVID-19 related healthcare. We employed a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, consisting quantitative component followed by qualitative component, to understand patients' services use during COVID-19 pandemic in Switzerland. Quantitatively, we used electronic medical records data from 272 GPs 266,796 patients.
