Because efforts to increase the Papanicolaou (Pap) test rate have not been effective in Korea, there is an urgent need to identify the underlying context of the barriers to Pap testing. Twenty-three women aged 27-37 years were organized into four focus groups for a qualitative analysis of their attitudes and feelings about the Pap test. Five contextual themes of barriers were identified under the categories of "misconceptions attributable to women's experiences of Pap testing" and "issues related to the health care system." Educational and clinical implications in regard to women, health care professionals, and the health service environment were discussed to increase the Pap test rate.
由于提高巴氏涂片检查率的努力在韩国并未取得成效，因此迫切需要找出巴氏涂片检查存在障碍的潜在背景。23名年龄在27至37岁之间的女性被分成四个焦点小组，对她们关于巴氏涂片检查的态度和感受进行定性分析。在“女性巴氏涂片检查经历导致的误解”和“与医疗保健系统相关的问题”类别下，确定了五个障碍的背景主题。讨论了针对女性、医疗保健专业人员和医疗服务环境的教育及临床意义，以提高巴氏涂片检查率。
