Implication

Descriptive cross-sectional study reveals low awareness and practices of cervical cancer prevention in women, suggesting urgent public health needs.

Key Points

  • Awareness of cervical cancer among women was only 45.5%, indicating significant gaps in knowledge that could affect prevention efforts.
  • Despite 75.1% displaying a positive attitude towards screening, only 9.7% had undergone any form of cervical cancer screening, demonstrating a disconnect between attitude and action.
  • The study utilized a descriptive cross-sectional design involving 217 women aged 15-65 years, revealing critical insights on education and health access.
  • Results highlight the urgent need for public health interventions focused on educating women about cervical cancer and increasing HPV vaccination uptake.
