This research aimed to examine the relationship between perceived self-efficacy and cervical cancer screening of village health volunteers.
The researchers conducted this descriptive research with 279 samples, each recruited using the stratified random samplings. Data were collected in August 2020 using two research instruments included general data and the self-efficacy assessment. The self-efficacy assessment was tested, yielding a reliability score of 0.90. Data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics and point- biserial correlation.
The results revealed that the mean scores of perceived self-efficacy were at a high level in (Mean= 4.35, S.D.= 0.77) and perceived self-efficacy of each has the mean scores of at a high level in strength, generality, and magnitude dimension (Mean= 4.27, S.D.= 0.76; Mean= 4.40, S.D.= 1.01; Mean= 4.35, S.D.= 0.76) respectively. There were significantly positive correlations between the perceived self-efficacy and cervical cancer screening at a very high level (r= 0.81, p <0.001). The relationship between the perceived self-efficacy of each in the strength dimension and magnitude dimension with cervical cancer screening was at a very high level of relationship significantly (r= 0.84, 0.82, p < 0.001). The generality dimension was at a high level of relationship significantly. (r= 0.66, p < 0.001).
This study showed that village health volunteers with high perceived self-efficacy correlated with their confidence screening for cervical cancer. Therefore, village health volunteers should emphasize that women learn and acknowledge the importance of obtaining cervical cancer screening to prevent cervical cancer effectively.

本研究旨在探讨乡村卫生志愿者自我效能感与宫颈癌筛查之间的关系。
方法：研究人员采用描述性研究方法，共纳入 279 名样本，采用分层随机抽样方法进行招募。数据于 2020 年 8 月收集，使用包括一般资料和自我效能评估在内的两种研究工具。自我效能评估的信度得分为 0.90。采用描述性统计和点二列相关对数据进行分析。
结果：结果显示，乡村卫生志愿者自我效能感的平均得分处于较高水平（均数=4.35，标准差=0.77），且在力量、通用性和大小维度的自我效能感平均得分均处于较高水平（均数=4.27，标准差=0.76；均数=4.40，标准差=1.01；均数=4.35，标准差=0.76）。自我效能感与宫颈癌筛查之间存在非常显著的正相关（r=0.81，p<0.001）。力量维度和大小维度的自我效能感与宫颈癌筛查之间的关系非常显著（r=0.84，0.82，p<0.001），通用性维度的关系也非常显著（r=0.66，p<0.001）。
结论：本研究表明，自我效能感高的乡村卫生志愿者与宫颈癌筛查的信心相关。因此，乡村卫生志愿者应强调让女性了解并认识到获得宫颈癌筛查的重要性，以有效预防宫颈癌。
