“…This is also the most commonly cited reason in other countries such as Turkey, Bangladesh, Gabon and Korea. [26][27][28][29] Therefore, increasing awareness of and education about cervical cancer screening is necessary and independent of the modality of screening. While selfswabs and other self-sampling devices have been examined and reported to be reliable 6 and not inferior to specimens obtained by physicians, 30 it is necessary to investigate the perception and acceptability of selfsampling among multiethnic Malaysian women, especially potential users who have never undergone Pap testing.…”

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to determine the attitudes and acceptability of self-administered cervicovaginal sampling compared with conventional physician-acquired Papanicolaou (Pap) smear among multiethnic Malaysian women.MethodA cross-sectional study was carried out via interviewer-administered surveys from August 2013 through August 2015 at five government-run, urban health clinics in the state of Selangor. Subjects were participants from an ongoing community-based human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence study who answered a standard questionnaire before and after self-sampling. The cervicovaginal self-sampling for HPV genotyping was performed using a simple brush (‘Just for Me’; Preventive Oncology International, Hong Kong). Detailed data on sociodemographics, previous Pap smear experience, and attitudes towards self-administered cervicovaginal sampling were collected and analysed. Acceptability was inferred using a five-item Likert scale that included six different subjective descriptives: experience, difficulty, convenience, embarrassment, discomfort or pain, and confidence in collecting one's own sample.ResultsOf the 839 participants, 47.9% were Malays, followed by 30.8% Indians, 18.8% Chinese and 2.5% from other ethnicities. The median age of the participants was 38 years (IQR 30–48). Some 68.2% of participants indicated a preference for self-sampling over the Pap test, with 95% indicating willingness to follow-up a positive result at the hospital. Age, ethnicity and previous Pap test experience were significant independent factors associated with preference for self-sampling. The older the individual, the less likely they were to prefer self-sampling (adjusted OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.90 to 0.98). The Chinese were less likely to prefer self-sampling (72.6%) than the Malays (85.1%) (adjusted OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.33 to 0.98, p=0.004). Participants who had never undergone a Pap smear were also more likely to prefer self-sampling (88.5%) than women who had undergone a previous Pap (80.9%) (adjusted OR 0.06, 95% CI 0.35 to 0.87).ConclusionsOverall, urban Malaysian women from multiethnic backgrounds found self-sampling to be an acceptable alternative to Pap smear.

“…En este estudio destaca como significativa la motivación dada por el médico o la madre de las mujeres, coincidiendo con estudios previos 4,5,26 . En la literatura además se ha descrito cómo la sola adherencia al tamizaje por parte de la madre influye positivamente en las conductas preventivas de las hijas 27 , así como una actitud negativa en relación al examen puede influir sustancialmente en si recomienda o no 28 , lo que podría estar explicando en parte los resultados. Un estudio realizado en Malasia 16 , reportó que tres cuartos de las entrevistadas expresaron su voluntad de realizarse un PAP si eran aconsejadas por un profesional de la salud.…”

RESUMENIntroducción y objetivo: Actualmente, las tasas de mortalidad por cáncer cérvicouterino (CC) en Latinoamérica y el Caribe son mayores comparadas con otros países, a pesar de ser altamente prevenible. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar la relación entre la adherencia al tamizaje de cáncer cérvicouterino y las creencias sobre el CC y el Papanicolaou (PAP) en mujeres chilenas. Métodos: Estudio realizado en una muestra probabilística de 969 mujeres entre 25 y 64 años de edad, beneficiarias del sistema de salud público y pertenecientes a la comuna de Puente Alto en Santiago, Chile. El reclutamiento y recolección de datos fue entre Marzo 2014 y Octubre 2015. Se midieron variables sociodemográficas, adherencia al PAP y creencias en relación al PAP y CC. Resultados: La mayor adherencia al tamizaje de CC tiene relación significativa con el sentimiento de bienestar al estar cuidando la salud, la percepción de menor cantidad de barreras para tomarse el PAP particularmente en mujeres que adhieren en el sistema privado, el conocimiento de la radio o quimioterapia como tratamiento para el CC, la percepción del riesgo personal de desarrollar la enfermedad, saber que los síntomas no son un requisito para el PAP, y la motivación dada por profesionales de salud o la madre. Conclusiones: La adherencia al PAP es multifactorial y las creencias de las mujeres deben ser consideradas para el éxito de un programa de tamizaje eficaz. PALABRAS CLAVE:Cáncer cérvicouterino, Papanicolaou, Creencias, Tamizaje ABSTRACT Introduction and Objectives: Currently, cervical cancer's mortality rates in Latin America and the Caribbean are higher compared to other countries, despite being highly preventable. The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between beliefs on CC and PAP test and adherence to screening in Chilean women. Material and method: This study was carried out in a probabilistic sample of 969 women aged between 25 and 64 years old, belonging to public health care system and enrolled in any of the four selected primary healthcare centers in Puente Alto, Santiago, Chile. Data collection was carried out between March 2014 and October 2015. Socio-demographic variables, adherence to screening and beliefs regarding CC and PAP test were measured. Results: Greater adherence to CC screening has a significant relationship with the feeling of well-being while taking care of one's health, the perception of fewer barriers to the test particularly in women who adhere in the private health care system, knowledge of radio or chemotherapy as a treatment for CC, the perception of the personal risk of developing the disease, knowing that symptoms are not a requirement for the test, and the motivation given by health care professionals or the mother.

Cancer Cervix is the second most common cancer in the world. Cervical cancer is the leading cancer and the leading cause of cancer deaths in women in developing countries. Overall, the mortality rates in developing countries are about four times (80-85%) than those in industrialized countries. The aim of this study is to find the knowledge and attitude of cervical cancer among married females of rural areas of Aligarh. The study was a cross sectional study. It was done in July-August, 2019. All the married females were included who gave consent for the study.100 females were included of registered areas of Rural Health and Training Centre, Department of Community Medicine, J.N. Medical College, AMU. Pre-testing of the questionnaire was done on 10 respondents; after which necessary changes were made, and the questionnaire was re-administered. Data entry was done. More than half of the females under study thought vaginal discharge and menstrual irregularity as the main symptoms of cervical cancer. Oral contraceptive pills and multiple sexual partners were considered main risk factors in more than 50 percent of females. Regarding preventive measures, good genital hygiene was known to most of the females under study. Surprisingly, PAP smear was unknown to almost all females under study.
