Disability is a mental or physical impairment that limits one or more activities of daily living. According to the Chartbook on Women and Disability (2014) website, one out of every five Americans in the United States has a disability. Although, the rates of mammography screening over the past 30 years for African American women have increased, there are barriers that still exist for older African American women with disabilities. Reports indicated that women with disabilities are at risk for having limited access to mammography screening for various reasons, some of which include barriers (Piotrowski & Snell, 2007). However, little has been found in the literature concerning barriers to mammography screening among African American women over age 50 with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to describe the perspectives of African American women, 50 years of age and older, with a disability (mobility impairment) in accessing mammography screening. This study used an exploratory descriptive qualitative design. The Health Belief Model was used to guide the study. Three research questions were developed regarding perceived threats and cues to action, perceived barriers, and perceived facilitators for mammography screening for African American women aged 50 years and older with disabilities. The overall theme that emerged from the study was “I have to, my life depends on it.” The findings of this study have implications that could be used by nurses to advocate for better ways to improve mammography screening for older African American women with disabilities who are in need of a mammogram. By providing better accommodations for older African American women with disabilities, these women will have easier access to mammography screening and perhaps have a more positive experience.

Background Greater longevity means that many more women with learning disabilities (LD) are becoming eligible to participate in the NHS Breast Cancer Screening Programme (NHSBCSP). The NHSBCSP is used to detect early signs of breast cancer and is open to all women over fifty years of age. Participation by women with LD is lower than that of the general population and little is known about their experience of mammography or what influences their decision whether or not to participate in the programme. This study explored these gaps. Aim To explore factors influencing whether or not women with LD participate in breast screening and their experience of having mammography. Methods An ethnographic approach was adopted using purposive sampling. One-to-one semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 women with LD, 10 allied-professionals and 13 carers (10 paid-carers, 3 family-carers). These were supported by periods of focused observation of behaviour related to breast awareness and breast screening. Field-notes were used to support data collection. Data was subjected to thematic analysis, using a blended framework based on McCarthy (1999), Smith (1999) and Smith and Osborn (2003). Findings Findings revealed that the women's experience of breast screening was negative, and that this dissuaded them from returning. Factors influencing attendance at breast screening were inextricably linked to the women's level of LD, the level of support they received and the philosophy of care observed in the work place of the paid-carers. These factors were identified as influencing each stage of the breast screening process. Conclusions Findings revealed that whilst the women's experiences of breast screening were negative, each woman's journey was unique and depended upon the support provided and their level of LD. For this reason, despite equality of access to breast screening, there was inequality in preparation and delivery of the service.
