摘要

背景和目标:宫颈癌的全球负担向贫穷国家严重倾斜,主要原因是缺乏认识、筛查不力以及预防性疫苗的接种率低。我们的研究旨在教育年轻女孩和妇女,提高她们对宫颈筛查和 HPV 疫苗接种重要性的认识:本研究于 2023 年 1 月至 2023 年 12 月进行,主要针对查谟地区的学生、教师、家庭主妇和医疗保健专业人员,以评估他们对宫颈癌和 HPV 疫苗的认识。查谟 Swastik 诊断实验室使用 Truenat Real-Time PCR 方法进行了 HPV DNA 检测:结果:调查评估了妇女对宫颈癌的了解、对 HPV 病毒的认识以及疫苗接种情况。在 2 400 名妇女中,有 106 人在 HPV 筛查测试中呈阳性。在这 106 名妇女中,19% 的病毒载量较高(Ct < 20),11% 的病毒载量较低(25 ≤ Ct < 30),表明 HPV 病毒的相对浓度较低;40% 的病毒载量中等(20 ≤ Ct < 25),30% 的病毒载量很低(Ct ≥ 30):这些发现凸显了常规宫颈筛查(如巴氏涂片和人乳头瘤病毒检测)对早期发现宫颈癌的重要性。查谟地区迫切需要实施宫颈癌筛查和疫苗接种计划。

Assessing knowledge and awareness levels regarding cervical cancer and HPV vaccination in the Jammu regions.

Background and objectives: Cervical cancer global burden is highly skewed towards poor countries primarily due to lack of awareness, poor screening, and low uptake of prophylactic vaccines. The purpose of our study is to educate and raise awareness among young girls and women about the importance of cervical screening and HPV vaccination.

Materials and methods: The present study, conducted from January 2023 to December 2023, focused on students, teachers, housewives, and healthcare professionals in the Jammu region to assess their awareness of cervical cancer and the HPV vaccine. HPV DNA testing was carried out using the Truenat Real-Time PCR method at Swastik Diagnostic Laboratory, Jammu.

Results: Knowledge of cervical cancer, awareness of the HPV virus, and the vaccination status of women were assessed in survey. In the HPV screening test, out of 2,400 women, 106 tested positive for HPV. Among these 106 women, 19% had a high viral load (Ct < 20), 11% had a low viral load (25 ≤ Ct < 30), indicating a low relative concentration of HPV viruses, 40% had a medium viral load (20 ≤ Ct < 25), and 30% had very low viral loads (Ct ≥ 30).

Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of routine cervical screenings, such as Pap smears and HPV tests, for the early detection of cervical cancer. There is an urgent need to implement cervical cancer screening and vaccination programs in the Jammu region.

期刊介绍: The Iranian Journal of Microbiology (IJM) is an international, multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed journal that provides rapid publication of the most advanced scientific research in the areas of basic and applied research on bacteria and other micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses, yeasts, fungi, microalgae, and protozoa concerning the development of tools for diagnosis and disease control, epidemiology, antimicrobial agents, clinical microbiology, immunology, Genetics, Genomics and Molecular Biology. Contributions may be in the form of original research papers, review articles, short communications, case reports, technical reports, and letters to the Editor. Research findings must be novel and the original data must be available for review by the Editors, if necessary. Studies that are preliminary, of weak originality or merely descriptive as well as negative results are not appropriate for the journal. Papers considered for publication must be unpublished work (except in an abstract form) that is not under consideration for publication anywhere else, and all co-authors should have agreed to the submission. Manuscripts should be written in English.
