This descriptive study was performed in order to assess health perspectives of women, who applied to Yildirim Beyazit University Ataturk Education and Research Hospital, Outpatient Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology for cervical cancer scans and were in the reproductive years. Factors influencing their perspectives were also assessed.
In this study, a simple random sampling formula was adopted to calculate the volume (300) of the targeted sample. Results of the research were obtained through individual diagnosis form and cervical cancer and the Pap smear test health belief model scale (HBMS).
It was found that 75.0% of the women heard of the Pap smear test before, and 48.7% had undertaken one. Some 51.4% of the women who had Pap smear test expressed that they had the test at irregular periods. Most of the women stated that they heard about the smear test from the health staff (51.7%). Lack of any health complaints (28.3%) and not having adequate information about the test (21.0%) were among the reasons for not undergoing a Pap smear test. It was found that lower dimension average scores of the women obtained from the cervical cancer and Pap smear test HBMS varied from 7.7±2.3 to 33.5±9.3. When the lower dimension average scores of women from the HBMS were examined, the perception of usefulness was high but the susceptibility and health motivations were low.
In this study, it was determined that the awareness of women about cervical cancer and the Pap smear test was insufficient, and susceptibility and motivation perception towards having a Pap smear test were low.
本描述性研究旨在评估前往耶迪特佩大学阿塔图尔克教育与研究医院妇产科门诊进行宫颈癌扫描的育龄期女性的健康观念。同时也评估了影响她们观念的因素。
本研究采用简单随机抽样公式计算目标样本量（300）。研究结果通过个体诊断表以及宫颈癌和巴氏涂片检查健康信念模型量表（HBMS）获得。
发现75.0%的女性之前听说过巴氏涂片检查，48.7%的女性进行过该项检查。进行过巴氏涂片检查的女性中，约51.4%表示她们不定期进行该项检查。大多数女性表示她们是从医护人员那里听说涂片检查的（51.7%）。没有任何健康问题（28.3%）以及对该项检查了解不足（21.0%）是未进行巴氏涂片检查的原因。发现从宫颈癌和巴氏涂片检查HBMS中获得的女性较低维度平均得分在7.7±2.3至33.5±9.3之间。当检查HBMS中女性的较低维度平均得分时，有用性认知较高，但易感性和健康动机较低。
在本研究中，确定女性对宫颈癌和巴氏涂片检查的认识不足，进行巴氏涂片检查的易感性和动机认知较低。
