| Abstract | OBJECTIVES: To determine the factors associated with satisfaction with waiting times for further investigation in breast cancer screening. METHODS: We carried out a cross-sectional study by telephone survey of a representative sample of women (N=316) participating in the breast cancer screening program of the autonomous region of Valencia (Spain) who required additional tests to confirm the diagnosis. Descriptive analysis was performed by contingency tables (p<0.05) and multivariate association by odds ratios (OR) of logistic regression models (95%CI). RESULTS: Satisfaction with the waiting time was 78.6%. A higher risk of dissatisfaction was found in women from a 'high' social class (OR=3.17; 95% CI: 1.10-9.14), those who perceived that the waiting time was 'more than 2 weeks', both 'since the notification of the need for further investigation until completion of the first test' (OR=15,54; 95%CI: 5,87-41,12) and 'since the completion of the last test until notification of the final result' (OR=11.57; 95% CI: 2.96-45.19), and in women who experienced the attention as 'worse than expected' (OR=15.40; 95% CI: 1.41-168.64). The maximum waiting time acceptable to the highest percentage of women was 'up to 1 week' for each waiting period (n=47, 73.5%; n=14, 45.2%). CONCLUSIONS: Waiting times of no more than 1 week and never more than 2 weeks for each waiting period are recommended. Women should be given an approximate waiting time, paying special attention to women aged 45 to 54 years attending their initial screening. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
