Approximately 90 million people in the United States lack basic literacy skills, which affect health behaviors. Cervical cancer is preventable and treatable, yet few older Hispanic women seek screening and continue to be a high-risk group for cervical cancer. A literature review was conducted to address the relationship between cervical cancer screening, health literacy, and older Hispanic women. Eighty studies were reviewed, and nine addressed health literacy and Hispanic women. One study addressed the association between functional health literacy and Pap smear screening among older Hispanic women. Few studies have explored the association between preventive cervical cancer screening and health literacy among older Hispanic women. Nurses must assess health literacy and be prepared to provide care, which is culturally, and linguistically appropriate to improve health outcomes. Further research is needed to be inclusive of all populations including older Hispanic women.
美国约有9000万人缺乏基本识字技能，这影响着健康行为。宫颈癌是可预防和可治疗的，但很少有年长的西班牙裔女性进行筛查，她们仍然是宫颈癌的高危群体。为了探讨宫颈癌筛查、健康素养与年长西班牙裔女性之间的关系，我们进行了一项文献综述。共查阅了80项研究，其中9项涉及健康素养与西班牙裔女性。有一项研究探讨了年长西班牙裔女性的功能健康素养与巴氏涂片筛查之间的关联。很少有研究探讨年长西班牙裔女性预防性宫颈癌筛查与健康素养之间的关联。护士必须评估健康素养，并准备好提供符合文化和语言习惯的护理，以改善健康结果。需要进一步开展研究，纳入包括年长西班牙裔女性在内的所有人群。
