Cervical cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide, while in Egypt, it is considered the 14th major contributor to female tumors.
To assess nursing staff attitude regarding prevention of cervical cancer.
A descriptive cross-sectional study framework was executed in Mansoura University Hospital and six other buildings (psychiatry, burns, outpatient, special medicine, convalescence and radiation building), Mansoura city, Egypt, among 414 nursing staff who were chosen by using the convenience sampling technique. A structured interview questionnaire consisting of two parts was used to gather data from June 2024 and continued until the end of November 2024. Univariate analysis for descriptive data and bivariate analysis through the chi-square test were performed.
The current research revealed that 76.3% of the studied nursing staff had a positive attitude toward the prevention of cervical cancer, while 69.3% of them agreed that cervical neoplasm is a highly preventable disease, and 71.7% of them agreed that cervical neoplasm is curable if detected early. Also, there was a statistically significant positive association between educational level and attitude (p < 0.001) and a statistically significant positive association between marital status and attitude (p < 0.031). Also, there was a statistically significant positive association between vaccination against HPV and positive attitude (p < 0.001), while there was a statistically significant positive association between positive attitude and cervical cancer screening (p < 0.012).
It is concluded that more than three-quarters of nursing staff demonstrated a positive attitude toward cervical cancer prevention, underscoring the need for continued educational interventions.
This study was not registered as a clinical trial as it does not involve an interventional design.
宫颈癌是全球女性中第三大最常被诊断出的癌症，而在埃及，它被认为是女性肿瘤的第14大主要成因。
评估护理人员对预防宫颈癌的态度。
在埃及曼苏拉市的曼苏拉大学医院及其他六座大楼（精神病科、烧伤科、门诊、特殊医学科、康复科和放疗大楼）开展了一项描述性横断面研究，采用便利抽样技术选取了414名护理人员。使用一份由两部分组成的结构化访谈问卷从2024年6月开始收集数据，一直持续到2024年11月底。对描述性数据进行单变量分析，并通过卡方检验进行双变量分析。
当前研究表明，76.3%的参与研究的护理人员对预防宫颈癌持积极态度，69.3%的护理人员认同宫颈肿瘤是一种高度可预防的疾病，71.7%的护理人员认同宫颈肿瘤若早期发现是可治愈的。此外，教育水平与态度之间存在统计学上显著的正相关（p < 0.001），婚姻状况与态度之间存在统计学上显著的正相关（p < 0.031）。而且，HPV疫苗接种与积极态度之间存在统计学上显著的正相关（p < 0.001），而积极态度与宫颈癌筛查之间存在统计学上显著的正相关（p < 0.012）。
得出的结论是，超过四分之三的护理人员对宫颈癌预防表现出积极态度，这突出了持续进行教育干预的必要性。
本研究未注册为临床试验，因为它不涉及干预性设计。
