First Nations women in British Columbia have a four to six times higher mortality rate from cancer of the cervix than do women in the general population. Their participation in the provincial Cervical Cytology Screening Program (CCSP) is less regular and less frequent than other women in B.C. Likewise, they have more difficulty in obtaining culturally suitable health care services from respectful and consistent professionals. These issues should be of critical concern to nurses, as nurses provide the majority of health services to First Nations people.
不列颠哥伦比亚省的原住民女性患宫颈癌的死亡率比普通人群中的女性高出四到六倍。与不列颠哥伦比亚省的其他女性相比，她们参与省级宫颈细胞学筛查计划（CCSP）的情况不太规律，频率也较低。同样，她们在从尊重且态度一致的专业人员那里获得符合文化习惯的医疗服务方面也更困难。这些问题应该是护士极为关注的，因为护士为原住民提供了大部分医疗服务。
