Cancer is the third leading cause of death In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which is situated in the Arabian Gulf. A national programme for cervical cancer screening is likely to be implemented in the future. In this study, we assessed the knowledge, attitude, and practice of UAE female primary care physicians of cervical screening through a self-administered questionnaire. Of the 98 physicians who participated in the study only 40% reported ever having performed a Pap smear. In the study, we identified various training needs, and a training programme on cervical screening currently is being developed based on the results of this study.
癌症是位于阿拉伯湾的阿拉伯联合酋长国（UAE）的第三大死因。未来可能会实施一项全国性宫颈癌筛查计划。在本研究中，我们通过一份自填式问卷评估了阿联酋女性初级保健医生对宫颈癌筛查的知识、态度和实践情况。在参与研究的98名医生中，只有40%报告曾进行过巴氏涂片检查。在研究中，我们确定了各种培训需求，目前正在根据本研究结果制定一项关于宫颈癌筛查的培训计划。
