Abstract Background While organized and opportunistic cervical cancer screening (CCS) programs implemented across the European Union have increased participation rates, barriers to socioeconomically deprived women remain substantial, implying high levels of inequality in CCS uptake. Aim This study assesses how strategy (as a score based on availability population-based programs), accessibility healthcare system an index out-of-pocket expenditure as proportion total costs, public health...
The Swiss Cohort of Healthcare Professionals and Informal Caregivers (SCOHPICA) was created to study the career trajectories, retention intentions, wellbeing healthcare professionals (HCPs), addressing challenges such as staff turnover, low job satisfaction burnout.
Abstract Background Patient experience surveys gather information on various aspects of care via numerous survey items. Identifying the most critical areas patient to prioritize for quality improvement can be challenging. The objective this study was determine which items are drivers influencing patients' overall rating cancer care. Methods Data from 2750 adult patients with second wave Swiss Cancer Experiences were analyzed. This cross‐sectional conducted in eight hospitals September 2021...
Abstract Background Research on inequalities in cervical cancer screening (CCS) participation has overlooked the distinction between ‘never-’ and ‘under-screeners’ while different socioeconomic demographic determinants may underlie ‘non-’ ‘under-’ participation. This study examines never under CCS We compare cross-national prevalence trends among these two groups Switzerland Belgium, countries with similar opportunistic strategy but healthcare systems. Methods Data 38,806 women aged 20–70...
The current study examines whether the extent of macrolevel gender inequality affects association between women’s educational attainment and their participation in cervical breast cancer screening how this relationship is moderated by a country’s strategy (organized vs. opportunistic). A multilevel design with women (N = 99,794; N 55,021) nested 30 European countries was used to analyze data from Health Interview Survey (2013–2015). Results logistic regression models demonstrate that higher...
Little attention has been devoted to the role of macro-level determinants in preventive health inequalities, particularly cancer screening participation. Research evidenced inequalities uptake yet mainly focused on programmes' moderating at macro-level. To address this gap, study examines how welfare provision and healthcare system features modify across European countries.Data from 99 715 (Pap smear) 54 557 (mammography) women 29 countries Health Interview Survey (EHIS) 2014 wave Swiss...
This study revisits the effects of mammography screening programs on inequalities in breast uptake Switzerland. The progressive introduction regional by 12 out 26 Swiss cantons (regions) since 1999 offers an opportunity to perform ecological quasi-experimental study. We examine absolute income and marital status uptake, whether cantons' implementation moderate these inequalities, as previous research has devoted little attention this. use five waves Health Interview Survey covering 1997–2017...
Abstract This study investigates how a lack of social support differentially affects men and women’s colorectal cancer (CRC) screening participation, considering different strategies implemented across European countries. Although health sociology has stressed gender differences in its effects on behaviours, this was overlooked by research. Using data set 65,961 women 55,602 31 countries, we analysed the effect variables CRC uptake. We found that living alone lower perceived were associated...
Abstract Background Patients with fewer socioeconomic and health literacy resources are disadvantaged in their access use of healthcare, which may give rise to worse experiences care thus inequalities patient experiences. However, only a limited number studies have examined how factors shape patients’ cancer care. Objective To examine whether differ according economic status literacy. Methods Secondary analysis data on 2789 adult patients diagnosed from the Swiss Cancer Patient Experiences-2...
Healthcare professionals' shortage, low job satisfaction, high levels of burnout, and excessive staff turnover are some the challenges health systems face worldwide. In Switzerland, healthcare stakeholders have called to address workforce crisis pointed out scarcity data on conditions professionals (HCPs). Hence, Swiss Cohort Professionals Informal Caregivers (SCOHPICA) was developed study career trajectories, well-being, intention stay in or leave position/profession/health sector, their...
Cervical cancer screening (CCS) by means of Pap smears has led to a decrease in cervical incidence and mortality. In the absence organized programmes, CCS is opportunistic Belgium Switzerland. This might result high level overuse, as practices do not conform recommended 3-yearly interval target age-ranges (Belgium: 25-64, Switzerland: 20-70). study aimed assess trends uptake overuse Switzerland their social determinants, light reimbursement initiatives, which were implemented both...
Macrolevel gender inequality is defined as the unequal distribution of power and resources between men women shaped by macrolevel social structures institutions. An emerging line health research emphasising its negative consequences on women's healthcare access. The present study examines how contexts affect mammography screening uptake. It adopts a macrosociological institutionalist approach preventive use compares who live with partner those do not. This first to test effect uptake across...
Abstract Retention issues are widespread within the health workforce. This cross-sectional study used data collected from 1707 healthcare professionals in 2022–23 to identify with k-means clustering groups of individuals sharing similar working experiences. These profiles were linked varying levels turnover intentions and a range professions. While occupational therapists paramedics reported average better conditions, registered nurses intermediate caregivers poorest In other clusters,...
Aims: Cervical cancer (CC) over-screening has been understudied in Europe, yet is relevant for approaching inequalities screening uptake. Focusing on countries’ strategies (opportunistic systems versus organised programmes), we assess which contexts CC more prevalent, and women are likely to have engaged cervical (CCS) within the past year. Methods: A two-level (multilevel) design among ( N = 80,761) nested 31 European countries was used analyse data from second wave (2013–2015) of Health...
Objective The objective of this study is to examine how the effect organized mammography screening programs on breast cancer participation differ between socioeconomic strata and relationship may be modified by context linguistic differences. Switzerland, marked its diverse landscape, reflects cultural variations alongside differences in public health strategies. goal was assess potential regional effectiveness improve participation. Methods Data 14 173 women regionally adapted age range...
Abstract Background Patients’ economic status and level of health literacy may influence their experiences with healthcare services. However, few studies have examined how these factors shape inequalities in patient-reported measures (PREMs), particularly cancer care. Thus, we investigated whether care differed according to patients’ literacy. Methods We used data from 3,220 adult patients diagnosed collected by the Swiss Cancer Patient Experiences (SCAPE) study eight hospitals September...
Abstract Background Worldwide, health systems face workforce problems such as personnel shortages, low job satisfaction and burnout. In Switzerland, data is insufficient to address this system crisis. Hence, the Swiss COhort of Healthcare Professionals Informal Caregivers (SCOHPICA) aims study healthcare professionals (HCPs) informal caregivers’ experiences, well-being, career/personal trajectories. Results baseline survey on HCPs (completed in January 2023) are reported. Methods SCOHPICA an...
