We offered self-sampling devices to 250 women who visited the colposcopy clinic at Chulabhorn Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand from March 1 to June 30, 2015. Participants received instruction about the vaginal self-sample method and collected the specimen themselves, before being examined by the physician who obtained a conventional cervical specimen. Participating women's attitudes and feelings regarding the self-sample method were explored using a short questionnaire. Of the 247 eligible women, more than 90% of participants rated the self-sample method as very good to excellent for convenience, comfort, and safety. In addition, 80% of participants reported the overall experience of using the self-sample device was very good to excellent compared with the physician-collected method. Self-sample HPV testing appears to be highly accepted and perceived as convenient, comfortable, and safe. More studies on self-sample HPV testing should be conducted in Thailand to investigate this as an alternative method of cervical cancer screening, particularly among women who do not attend the screening program.
我们向 250 名于 2015 年 3 月 1 日至 6 月 30 日期间访问泰国曼谷 Chulabhorn 医院阴道镜检查门诊的女性提供了自我采样设备。参与者接受了阴道自我采样方法的指导，并在医生采集传统宫颈样本之前自行采集样本。使用简短的问卷探讨了参与女性对自我采样方法的态度和感受。在 247 名符合条件的女性中，超过 90%的参与者对自我采样方法的便利性、舒适度和安全性给予了非常好到极好的评价。此外，80%的参与者报告说，与医生采集方法相比，使用自我采样设备的总体体验非常好到极好。自我采样 HPV 检测似乎被高度接受，并被认为方便、舒适和安全。应该在泰国进行更多关于自我采样 HPV 检测的研究，以调查这是否是宫颈癌筛查的一种替代方法，特别是对不参加筛查计划的女性。
