Abstract:
Cervical cancer is an emerging public health problem in developing countries. Globally, it is the 3rd most common malignancy in women after breast and colorectal cancers and 4th most frequent cancer in women, with an estimated 570,000 new cases and 311,000 deaths in 2018. Cervical cancer screening in the developed countries is credited with the reductions in cervical cancer morbidity and mortality during the last 50 years. However, nearly 90% of cervical cancer deaths occur in less developed countries. Ghana has a cervical cancer rate of 26.4%. Further, it is the highest cancer incidence faced among women 25 to 44 years and has a mortality rate of 17.4% in this age group. Knowledge, culture, attitude, and beliefs are known to limit women's participation in Pap test screening programs. Guided by the health belief model, the purpose of this quantitative study was to examine how knowledge, attitude, culture, and religious beliefs affected intent to seek Pap test screening among adolescent girls in Accra, Ghana. A total of 155 participants ages 16 to 20 years completed a 30-item questionnaire. Descriptive frequencies were calculated. Correlation and Chi-square tests were also performed to assess associations with intent to screen with Pap test. Most girls (92%) had never heard about Pap test screening. There were statistically significant correlations between cervical cancer knowledge (p=0.032) and attitude (p=0.001) with intent to participate in Pap test screening. However, culture (p=0.049) and religious beliefs (p=0.529) were not significantly associated with screening intent. The implications for social change include informing practice and research on how cervical cancer prevention programs can be tailored to girls living in countries where different cultural and religious values are practiced.

Abstract:
Cervical cancer is the fifth most common cancer in United States with more than 12,000 women diagnosed each year and more than 4,000 preventable deaths with minorities disproportionally represented. Cervical cancer prevention strategies rarely focus on the management of abnormal screening results. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to standardize the management program for abnormal cervical cancer screening results within an integrated health delivery system serving a large minority community. The Plan-Do-Study-Act model guided a comprehensive program evaluation with process improvement, including the creation of an electronic quality data reporting tool to formalize the work process and a quality control and assurance program with exception reports. The evaluation was completed with data to measure the timeliness of abnormal results outreach and continued clinical management. The data were evaluated over time with run charts. Also, an analysis of the data was done through pre- and post-test comparisons with 2-sample t tests to evaluate abnormal cervical cancer screening management before and after the revisions. Although the project did not show a statistically significant difference in the timeliness of outreach and follow-up of abnormal cervical cancer screening results due to the limited data set, the run charts trended positively for timeliness and consistent data reporting with no missed screening reports. Effective cervical cancer screening includes the accurate and timely management of abnormal results to reduce disparities in cervical cancer deaths. This project contributes to positive social change by responding to the Healthy People 2020 goal to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer deaths through a formal process to insure timely intervention for abnormal results in a largely minority community.

Abstract:
nÃo hÃ
O cÃncer do colo uterino à caracterizado pelo aumento desordenado do epitÃlio que reveste o ÃrgÃo, afetando todo o tecido subjacente conhecido como estroma. Embora as mulheres busquem mais os serviÃos de saÃde, no Brasil ainda hà uma grande incidÃncia de morte relacionada a esse tipo de patologia, sendo um dos tipos de cÃncer que mais acomete a populaÃÃo feminina. O exame citopatolÃgico, realizado nas Unidades BÃsicas de SaÃde, à utilizado como um mÃtodo de rastreamento das lesÃes precursoras desse cÃncer e sinaliza o direcionamento de algumas aÃÃes de saÃde. Frente a esse contexto este estudo objetivou verificar o conhecimento, atitude e prÃtica das mulheres sobre o exame de prevenÃÃo do cÃncer do colo uterino, em mulheres de um municÃpio do CearÃ. Tratou-se de um estudo exploratÃrio com abordagem quantitativa desenvolvido nas salas de espera das unidades de saÃde do municÃpio de IcÃ. A amostra do estudo foi aleatÃria e composta de 379 mulheres. Foi aplicado o inquÃrito CAP (Conhecimento, Atitude e PrÃtica) previamente utilizado (MALTA, 2014), composto por 46 perguntas. O teste realizado para responder aos objetivos do estudo foi o qui-quadrado. As variÃveis sociodemogrÃficas estudadas como potenciais variÃveis associadas ao conhecimento, atitude e prÃtica, foram: idade, estado civil, escolaridade, religiÃo, ocupaÃÃo, trabalho e renda familiar. Na histÃria sexual e reprodutiva foi pesquisada vida sexual e tempo do inÃcio da mesma, parceiro fixo, laqueadura, uso de camisinha, mÃtodo contraceptivo, filhos, idade que teve o primeiro filho, aborto, DST, problema no Ãtero, histerectomia, gravidez e cÃncer na famÃlia. Os dados evidenciaram que em 49,9% das mulheres o conhecimento foi avaliado como inadequado. A atitude inadequada foi em 46,2% das mulheres e a prÃtica inadequada em 40,1%. As seguintes variÃveis apresentaram significÃncia estatÃstica para o conhecimento inadequado: estado civil (p=0,016, maior entre solteiras), escolaridade (p < 0,001, maior entre analfabetas ou com ensino fundamental incompleto), renda (p=0,004,maior nas com renda menor de um salÃrio mÃnimo, nÃo possuir parceiro fixo (p<0,017) e ter DST (p=0,039). A escolaridade das mulheres foi a Ãnica variÃvel associada a atitude inadequada (p=0,003). As variÃveis estatisticamente associadas a prÃtica inadequada foram: estado civil, faixa etÃria, trabalho fora de casa, renda familiar, nÃo ter vida sexual ativa, ser laqueada e ter tido o primeiro filho com idade de 25 anos ou mais. Quanto as dificuldades para realizar o exame Papanicolaou na ESF e receber o resultado teve grande destaque a demora do resultado. Percebeu-se a partir desta pesquisa, a importÃncia da educaÃÃo em saÃde acerca da problemÃtica relacionada ao CCU e sua prevenÃÃo, como tambÃm a necessidade do apoio por parte dos gestores. Tivemos alguns grupos de mulheres com maior risco ao problema estudado, devendo portanto serem priorizadas por os profissionais de saÃde e gestores, realizando-se a busca ativa desse grupo para realizaÃÃo de rodas de conversas. Espera-se que os resultados encontrados possam contribuir para a melhoria do atendimento Ãs mulheres e realizaÃÃo de uma maior vigilÃncia quanto a frequÃncia ao exame, visando uma maior abrangÃncia das mulheres, satisfazendo suas necessidades de conhecimento atravÃs da troca de saberes.
Cancer of the cervix is characterized by the disordered enlargement of the epithelium that lines the organ, affecting all the underlying tissue known as stroma. Although women seek more health services, in Brazil there is still a high incidence of death related to this type of pathology, being one of the types of cancer that affects the female population the most. The cytopathological examination, performed at the Basic Health Units, is used as a screening method for the precursor lesions of this cancer and indicates the direction of some health actions. Against this background, this study aimed to verify the knowledge, attitude and practice of women on the cervical cancer prevention exam in women from a municipality of CearÃ. It was an exploratory study with a quantitative approach developed in the waiting rooms of the health units of the municipality of IcÃ. The study sample was random and composed of 379 women. The KAP (Knowledge, Attitude and Practice) survey previously used (MALTA, 2014), composed of 46 questions, was applied. The test performed to answer the study objectives was chi-square. The sociodemographic variables studied as potential variables associated with knowledge, attitude and practice were: age, marital status, schooling, religion, occupation, work and family income. In the sexual and reproductive history, the sexual life and the time of the beginning of the sexual intercourse were investigated, fixed partner, tubal ligation, condom use, contraceptive method, children, age of first child, abortion, Sexually Transmitted Disease, hysterectomy, pregnancy and cancer in the family. The data showed that in 49.9% of the women the knowledge was evaluated as inadequate. The inadequate attitude was in 46.2% of the women and the inadequate practice in 40.1%. (p = 0.016, higher among single women), schooling (p <0.001, higher among illiterates or incomplete primary education), income (p = 0.004, higher in the lower income group) Of a minimum wage, did not have a fixed partner (p <0.017) and had STD (p = 0.039). The education of women was the only variable associated with an inappropriate attitude (p = 0.003). The variables statistically associated with inappropriate practice were: marital status, age, work away from home, family income, no active sex life, lactation and having had the first child aged 25 years or more. As for the difficulties to perform the Papanicolaou exam at the HSF and receive the result had great prominence the delay of the result. From this research, the importance of health education about the problems related to cervical cancer and its prevention, as well as the need for the support of the managers, was perceived. We had some groups of women with greater risk to the problem studied, and should therefore be prioritized by health professionals and managers, with the active search of this group for the realization of conversation wheels. It is hoped that the results found may contribute to the improvement of the attendance of women and greater vigilance regarding the frequency of the examination, aiming at a greater comprehension of the women, satisfying their knowledge needs through the exchange of knowledge.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women. Pap smear examination can detect early and prevent late diagnosis of cervical cancer. Perception of benefits is one of the constructs of the Health Belief Model that can predict women’s intention in having a Pap smear. This study aimed to examine the effect of perceived benefit on Pap smear uptake using a meta-analysis. Subjects and Method: A meta analysis was conducted by searching articles from PubMed, Springer Link, Google Scholar databases. Keywords used “Health Belief Model” OR “HBM” OR “Perceived Benefit” AND “Pap smear” OR “Pap Test”. The inclusion criteria were full text, articles published from 2014 to 2019, and using cross sectional study design. The articles were selected by PRISMA flow chart. The quantitative data were analyzed by RevMan 5.3. Results: There were 6 articles that met the criteria. This study reported that strong perceived benefit increased Pap smear uptake in women of reproductive age (aOR= 1.15; 95% CI= 1.06 to 1.24; p<0.001) with I2 = 88%. Conclusion: Strong perceived benefit increases Pap smear uptake in women of reproductive age. Keywords: perceived benefit, pap smear, cervical cancer, health belief model Correspondence: Maranata.

Abstract:
Purpose and Objectives: Cervical cancer is leading female cancer in Nepal. Despite the existence of effective screening using Pap smear, the uptake of screening is poor. This is mainly due to lack of knowledge, lack of availability of services in rural area and low priority of women’s health issue. Objectives of this study were to determine the baseline information about the knowledge of cervical cancer and explore attitude and practice of Pap smear screening among the women of rural community of Nepal. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional population based descriptive study of female attending free health camp in different rural community of Nepal organized by Nepal Cancer Hospital was conducted using self-administered questionnaire to elicit information on demographic characteristics, knowledge, screening behaviors and determinants of cervical cancer. Knowledge is elicited about eligibility for screening and screening interval according to American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) guidelines. Practices are evaluated as having ever been screened themselves. Attitudes referred to the various reasons for not getting screened themselves. Results: A total of 500 women participated in this study, out of which 44.4% (228) were either illiterate or just educated up to primary school. Mean age of participates were 40.6±10.3 yrs. 47.4% (238) of women married before age of 18 and 57% (258) women had their first childbirth before age of 21 years. Only 33.8% (169) female knew that cervical cancer is preventable and is curable in early stage. Although 42.6% (213) women heard about Pap smear, only 38.2% (191) knew about eligibility of screening and 11% (55) knew about screening interval. However, knowledge of risk factors for cervical cancer was found in 8.2% (41). About 26.8% (134) women had done Pap test at least once. The most common reason for not doing Pap test is they never heard about it (41.8%: 209). The other reason includes do not know where to do (9.6%: 48); never adviced by doctor (9%: 45); embarrassment (2.4%: 12); fear of finding out cancer (3.2%: 16) and do not have any symptoms (2.4%: 12). Conclusions: The study revealed low cervical cancer knowledge and poor screening behavior among the women. This may be suggestive of even poorer awareness and screening and practices among older women who are less educated or with no education.
