Cervical cancer is still one of the cancers threatening the health of Chinese women with high morbidity and mortality. However, the participation rate of cervical cancer screening (CCS) among women is low due to various reasons, so it is crucial to understand the factors that influence women's willingness to be screened for cervical cancer. This study's goal was to understand the intention of cervical cancer screening in Chinese women using the theory of planned behavior (TPB).
An online questionnaire was administered to 286 women using a cross-sectional design. The questionnaire was created using the theory of planned behavior and included demographic characteristics as well as the basic structure of TPB.
Descriptive, correlation, and multiple linear regression models were performed to identify factors associated with cervical cancer screening behavior. 286 respondents completed the survey (95.3%). The mean scores for behavioral attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control (PBC) were 32.50 (SD = 3.30), 22.59 (SD = 2.80) and 29.57 (SD = 3.37). From the regression analysis, behavioral attitude (B = 0.110, = 0.001), subjective norm (B = 0.234, = 0.000) and perceived behavioral control (B = 0.171, = 0.000) were statistically significant in terms of intention.
This study provided a reference for improving the intention of cervical cancer screening in women.
宫颈癌仍然是威胁中国女性健康的癌症之一，其发病率和死亡率都很高。然而，由于各种原因，妇女参与宫颈癌筛查（CCS）的比例较低，因此了解影响妇女宫颈癌筛查意愿的因素至关重要。本研究旨在使用计划行为理论（TPB）了解中国妇女进行宫颈癌筛查的意愿。
采用横断面设计，对 286 名妇女进行了在线问卷调查。问卷采用计划行为理论编制，包括人口统计学特征和 TPB 的基本结构。
对描述性、相关性和多元线性回归模型进行了分析，以确定与宫颈癌筛查行为相关的因素。286 名受访者完成了调查（95.3%）。行为态度、主观规范和感知行为控制（PBC）的平均得分为 32.50（SD=3.30）、22.59（SD=2.80）和 29.57（SD=3.37）。从回归分析来看，行为态度（B=0.110，p=0.001）、主观规范（B=0.234，p=0.000）和感知行为控制（B=0.171，p=0.000）对意图具有统计学意义。
本研究为提高妇女宫颈癌筛查意愿提供了参考。
