However, in Italy, only 41% and 28% of the target populations, respectively, take part in these screening programs. The epistemological framework of shared decision-making (SDM) in the healthcare field recognizes the engagement of both the individual and other actors as a determining factor in the decision-making process. Although engagement is a gold standard in the healthcare sector, we highlighted a gap in the literature concerning, in particular, the topic of cancer screenings. The aim of the present study is to investigate the first phase of the engagement process \u2013 called recruit \u2013 through the exploration of the meaning-making processes employed by women engaged in preventive practices. In \u2018Miriade\u2019 project, a semi-structured interview was built ad-hoc and administered to 40 women participating in breast and cervical cancer screening. The Framework Method was employed for the qualitative analysis of data. The results show that in 70% of cases the engagement begins with an invitation from the NHS. In 30% it is a word of mouth. We identified four categories of meaning-making: risk of disease monitoring; self-care mastery; fear of death management; by chance. The results show that there is no univocal meaning-making mode concerning the initial moment of the engagement process in preventive practices. Instead, there are specific ways of meaning-making in which women undergoing screenings insert their perception of health, risk, healthcare relationships, highlighting the need for a personalization of preventive practices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Event: 37th Annual Conference of the European Health Psychology Society \u2013 Ehps 23 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Bremen, 4-8 Settembre Contribution: Why did i get engaged in cancer screening?
