This study was aimed to explore and describe the Kurdish women's perception of cervical cancer screening. A qualitative design based on a conventional content analysis approach. Purposive sampling was applied to 19 women chosen, who had a Pap smear or refused to have one. The study was performed in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq. Semi-structure din-depth individual interviews were carried out to collect data. Four main themes including conflict, belief, and awareness about cervical cancer screening and socio-cultural factors emerged during data analysis Cervical cancer has a high mortality rate in the developing countries. However, only a few Kurdish women participated in the cervical cancer screening in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq.

本研究旨在探索和描述库尔德女性对宫颈癌筛查的认知。采用基于传统内容分析法的质性设计。对19名选择进行巴氏涂片检查或拒绝进行该项检查的女性进行了目的抽样。该研究在伊拉克库尔德地区开展。通过半结构化深度个人访谈收集数据。数据分析过程中出现了四个主要主题，包括对宫颈癌筛查的冲突、信念、认知以及社会文化因素。在发展中国家，宫颈癌死亡率很高。然而，在伊拉克库尔德地区，只有少数库尔德女性参与宫颈癌筛查。了解与女性对宫颈癌认知相关的因素，可为未来的教育规划和临床干预提供指导，以改善宫颈癌筛查情况。
