Abstract
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of cervical cancer screening and associated factors among female students of Wollega University, western Ethiopia in 2017.
RESULTS
More than half, 54.4%, of participants had heard about cervical cancer and its risk factors. Only 35.8% knew about screening procedures such as pap smear (61.1%) and visual inspection with application of acetic acid (38.8%). Study participants from age of 21 to 25 years were about six times more likely to have satisfactory knowledge on cervical cancer screening compared to other age groups. Less than half of the study participants (44.1%) had a positive attitude towards cervical cancer screening. None of the study participants had been screened for cervical cancer in the past 3 years. Thus, different governmental and nongovernmental stakeholders need to focus on awareness about cervical cancer, its screening and preventive strategies.
摘要
目的
本研究旨在评估2017年埃塞俄比亚西部沃莱加大学女学生对宫颈癌筛查的知识、态度和实践情况以及相关因素。
结果
超过半数（54.4%）的参与者听说过宫颈癌及其危险因素。只有35.8%的人了解诸如巴氏涂片检查（61.1%）和醋酸涂抹肉眼观察（38.8%）等筛查程序。与其他年龄组相比，21至25岁的研究参与者对宫颈癌筛查有满意知识的可能性高出约六倍。不到一半的研究参与者（44.1%）对宫颈癌筛查持积极态度。在过去3年中，没有一名研究参与者接受过宫颈癌筛查。因此，不同的政府和非政府利益相关者需要关注宫颈癌及其筛查和预防策略的宣传。
