Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer is among the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among HIV+ve women. Objective: To determine factors influencing utilisation of cervical cancer screening among HIV+ve women attending Cancer Treatment and Care in Kinondoni Municipality, Dar es Salaam. Methods: Cross-sectional study among HIV+ve women was carried out between September and October 2021; collected using a standardised questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine cervical cancer extent and association of predictors of cervical cancer screening. Results: 230 HIV+ve women aged 21–60 years were interviewed. Only 47% had screened for cervical cancer. Low knowledge of HIV+ve as risk significantly associated with less likelihood to screen for cervical cancer [AOR 0.49, 95% CI (0.253-0.957, P = 0.037)]. Parity of 3 or more was twice likely to screen for cervical cancer [AOR 2.124, 95% CI (1.012-4.456, P = 0.046)]; and housewives were 2.5 more likely to screen for cervical cancer [AOR 2.594, 95% CI (1.149-5.853, P = 0.002)]. Lack of knowledge on preventive measures was less associated with likelihood to screen [AOR 0.114, 95% CI (0.013-0.972, P = 0.047)]. Conclusion: Lack of knowledge on HIV+ve and prevention, age and parity are likely to influence utilisation of cervical cancer screening services. Keywords: Cervical cancer; HIV positive women.

影响坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆省 Kinondoni 市护理和治疗中心的 HIV 阳性妇女利用宫颈癌筛查服务的因素
背景:宫颈癌是 HIV 感染者中癌症相关死亡的主要原因之一。目的确定影响达累斯萨拉姆省 Kinondoni 市接受癌症治疗和护理的 HIV+ve 女性接受宫颈癌筛查的因素。方法:横断面研究在 2021 年 9 月至 10 月期间对 HIV+ve 妇女进行了横断面研究,并使用标准化问卷进行收集。采用描述性统计、双变量和多变量分析来确定宫颈癌的程度以及宫颈癌筛查预测因素之间的关联。结果:230 名 21-60 岁的 HIV+ve 妇女接受了访谈。只有 47% 的人接受过宫颈癌筛查。对 HIV+ve 风险的低认知度与宫颈癌筛查可能性的降低有明显关联[AOR 0.49,95% CI (0.253-0.957,P = 0.037)]。3 胎或 3 胎以上的妇女接受宫颈癌筛查的可能性是其他妇女的两倍[AOR 2.124,95% CI (1.012-4.456,P = 0.046)];家庭主妇接受宫颈癌筛查的可能性是其他妇女的 2.5 倍[AOR 2.594,95% CI (1.149-5.853,P = 0.002)]。缺乏预防措施知识与筛查可能性的关系不大[AOR 0.114,95% CI (0.013-0.972,P = 0.047)]。结论对 HIV+ve 和预防知识的缺乏、年龄和奇偶性可能会影响宫颈癌筛查服务的利用率。关键词:宫颈癌;HIV 阳性妇女宫颈癌;HIV 阳性妇女
