To estimate the association between having knowledge about cervical cancer (CC) and having a Pap test (PAP) in Peruvian women over 30 years old.
A secondary analysis of the Demographic and Family Health Survey of the years 2015 to 2017 was carried out. The level of knowledge was evaluated using the questions, do you think that cancer can be prevented?, Have you ever heard of CC?, Have you ever heard of human papillomavirus (HPV)? And do you think HPV can cause CC? The dependent variable was the realization of a PAP in the last two years. To estimate the association, generalized linear models of the raw and adjusted Poisson family were used. The measure of association was the adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) with its respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).
Data from 21 563 women were analyzed. The prevalence of having performed a PAP in the last two years was 52.4%. It was found that, those who responded that cancer can be prevented (aPR = 1.09; 95% CI: 1.01-1.17), who had heard of CC (aPR = 1.27; 95% CI: 1.14-1 , 40) or HPV (aPR = 1.20; 95% CI: 1.13-1.28) or who responded that HPV could cause CC (aPR = 1.21; 95% CI: 1.11-1.33) had a higher prevalence of having performed a PAP in the last two years.
Having knowledge about CC and HPV has been associated with having performed a PAP in the last two years.
评估秘鲁 30 岁以上女性对宫颈癌（CC）的认识与巴氏涂片检查（PAP）之间的关联。
对 2015 年至 2017 年人口与家庭健康调查的二次分析进行了研究。使用以下问题评估知识水平：您认为癌症可以预防吗？您听说过 CC 吗？您听说过人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）吗？您认为 HPV 会导致 CC 吗？因变量是过去两年内进行的 PAP 检测。为了评估关联，使用原始和调整后的泊松家族广义线性模型进行了分析。关联的衡量标准是调整后的患病率比（aPR）及其相应的 95%置信区间（95%CI）。
共分析了 21563 名女性的数据。过去两年内进行 PAP 检测的比例为 52.4%。研究发现，那些回答癌症可以预防的人（aPR = 1.09；95%CI：1.01-1.17），听说过 CC（aPR = 1.27；95%CI：1.14-1.40）或 HPV（aPR = 1.20；95%CI：1.13-1.28）或认为 HPV 可能导致 CC 的人（aPR = 1.21；95%CI：1.11-1.33）在过去两年内进行 PAP 检测的比例更高。
对 CC 和 HPV 的了解与过去两年内进行 PAP 检测呈正相关。
