摘要

背景了解癌症的自然过程、筛查和及时干预有助于降低与该疾病相关的发病率和死亡率。目标。评估印度德里北部成年妇女对宫颈癌症的认识和筛查的接受情况。方法。在一家三级护理教学医院进行了一项为期3个月的横断面观察性研究(N=401)。调查问卷用于收集社会人口学数据,并调查参与者对癌症的认识、预防措施和信息来源。数据采用独立t检验进行分析,显著性水平为p<0.05。大多数参与者(45%)年龄在18至25岁之间。大约三分之一(34%)的人是文盲,39.4%的人只受过10年级以下的教育。几乎所有参与者(99%)都已婚,85.3%失业。只有31.9%的参与者知道癌症,其中只有26人(20.3%)知道癌症是一种可预防的疾病。只有8.5%的参与者知道巴氏涂片,只有1.6%的人听说过人乳头瘤病毒疫苗。与会者指出,卫生专业人员是信息的主要来源。整个样本中只有2.2%的人报告之前做过巴氏涂片检查。结论。研究人群对癌症及其预防的认识较低。建议制定一项国家教育和传播战略,以提高认识。
