Cervical cancer screening research has predominantly focused on one type of participation, namely compliance with medical recommendations, and has largely ignored other types of participation. While there is some research that has taken a different approach, findings in this research area are not well integrated under a theoretical framework.
The aim of this study is to show how consideration of a broader definition of participation and better integration of the theoretical conceptualization of participation in cervical cancer screening are both possible and desirable to enable a better understanding of women's experiences of cervical cancer screening specifically and to improve women's health generally.
It is suggested that alternative types of participation in cervical cancer screening warrant further investigation and that a social identity theoretical approach offers one way of integrating such conceptualizations of participation. The paper also argues for more explicit consideration of the role of social processes and of the variables, such as power, social identity and relational justice, which are involved in participation in cervical cancer screening.
宫颈癌筛查研究主要集中在一种参与类型上，即遵循医学建议，而很大程度上忽视了其他类型的参与。虽然有一些研究采用了不同的方法，但该研究领域的发现并未在理论框架下得到很好的整合。
本研究的目的是表明，考虑更广泛的参与定义以及更好地整合宫颈癌筛查参与的理论概念化，对于更好地理解女性宫颈癌筛查经历以及总体上改善女性健康而言，既是可行的也是可取的。
建议对宫颈癌筛查的其他参与类型进行进一步研究，并且社会认同理论方法提供了一种整合此类参与概念化的方式。本文还主张更明确地考虑社会过程的作用以及参与宫颈癌筛查所涉及的变量，如权力、社会认同和关系正义。
