Abstract Background: Cervical cancer is one of the principal causes of cancer death among women worldwide. It is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death in Ethiopian women; about 77.6% of women died of 6,294 new cases reported in 2019. Early screening for cervical cancer has substantial advantage to reduce the incidence, morbidity, and mortality attributed to cervical cancer. So far, there are limited evidence on the level of cervical cancer screening uptake and its determinant in low- and middle-income countries including Ethiopia. Consequently, the current study aimed to assess the level of cervical cancer screening uptake and its determinant among women of Ambo town, western Oromia, Ethiopia.Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 422 women aged 20-65years. Systematic random sampling was employed to recruit the eligible women from randomly selected sub-districts found in Ambo town. Interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Epi info was used for data entry and management from which it was exported to SPSS version 25 for detailed analysis. Variables in binary logistic regression with a p-value <0.25 were candidate for multivariable logistic regression. Estimates were presented using odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CI. Statistical Significance was declared at p value<0.05.Results: In the present study 392 women were participated giving a response rate of 93%. Overall, 63% of the respondents were known the availability of cervical cancer screening service. Only 8.7% (34) of the study participants were received cervical cancer screening in their lifetime. Being in the age group of 30-39 years (AOR=3.2; 95% CI [1.22, 8.36]) and 40-49years (AOR=4.8; 95% CI [1.42, 16.41]), having cervical cancer related discussion with health care provider (AOR=3.5; 95% CI [1.17, 10.7]), and knowing availability cervical cancer screening service (AOR=2.8; 95% CI [1.03, 7.87]) were significantly associated with uptake of cervical cancer screening. Conclusion: In this study, cervical cancer screening uptake is very low. The study also highlighted important factors that affect uptake of cervical cancer screening service. Therefore, this study result call urgent interventions by all stockholders to increase cervical cancer service uptake through continues promotions and by securing its availability and accessibility for all eligible women at all levels.

Abstract Background: Cervical cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death among women in Tanzania. Knowledge and willingness of cervical cancer screening are important determinants of prevention services. This study aimed to describe women's awareness about cervical cancer and to explore the attitudes, acceptability and barriers toward cervical cancer screening in Zanzibar, Tanzania, in order to help organizing the forthcoming China-Zanzibar cervical cancer screening program. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March to June 2018, involving 1483 women who responded to questionnaires concerning general demographic characteristics, screening willingness and awareness of cervical cancer from 10 districts in Zanzibar. Chi-square tests, analysis of variance, rank sum tests and stepwise multiple regression were conducted using STATA 15.0 software. Results : The average Total Knowledge Scores(TKS) was 7.83±5.32 on a 23 scale. Education level and family income were positively correlated with TKS (Coef=1.075, 95% CI=0.687-1.462 and Coef=0.810, 95% CI=0.262-1.358 respectively). Previous schistosomiasis history (OR = 24.140, 95% CI= 3.306-176.266) and family genetic disease history (OR = 3.140, 95% CI= 1.644-5.997) were strong predictors of free screening. Women were less likely to be screened freely if they had 7 or more deliveries (OR = 0.300, 95% CI= 0.150-0.598) and were unknown about previous family tumor history (OR = 0.381, 95% CI= 0.218-0.665). As for non-free screening, age and education level were negatively associated while family income was positively associated with willingness to uptake non-free screening; divorced or widowed marriage and unawareness about previous family tumor history were predictors of reluctance to screening while previous disease history was the strong predictor of non-free screening uptake. Among 129 women who were reluctant and 50 who were uncertain to participate in the free screening, 51.4% thought it was unnecessary, 18.44% showed obvious fear and 20.67% were worrying about extra infection. Conclusions: The findings revealed that the knowledge of cervical cancer was poor. Education level, family income and awareness of previous disease history were the significant influencing factors of screening uptake. Specific awareness programs to increase knowledge and willingness to uptake screening should be designed and implemented in the public without delay.

Hiv Positive Women

Abstract Background: Cervical cancer is the second commonest cancer among women living in less developed countries. Women infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are at increased risk. However cervical cancer screening for HIV infected women has been started in limited centers in Addis Ababa, data on the uptake of this service are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the level and predictors of cervical cancer screening uptake among HIV positive women in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a structured questionnaire on 411 HIV infected women in St. Paul's and Zewditu Hospitals, from April 20, 2015-May 10, 2015. Both bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to assess predictors of cervical cancer screening uptake. Results: Only 25.5% of the respondents had undergone cervical screening. Respondents who hadn't heard about cervical cancer and the screening were 75% and 78% less likely to be screened than those who had heard about it respectively. Conclusion: The uptake of cervical cancer screening was very low. Awareness about cervical cancer and screening were predictive factors. To increase the level of screening, specific awareness programs should be implemented by relevant authorities. Keywords: Cervical cancer, HIV, Screening, Women, Awareness

Screening Uptake

Introduction: Uptake of cervical cancer screening services in Chinese migrant workers is unknown and may be lower than non-migrant workers in China. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among migrant and non-migrant women aged 21-65 at 7 provinces across China and administered a questionnaire investigating knowledge and attitudes regarding cervical cancer, human papillomavirus (HPV), and HPV vaccine. We used multivariable logistic regression to evaluate odds of previous cervical cancer screening in migrant workers. Results: 737 women participated in the study. Mean age was 41.9 ± 7.2 years. 50.2% of the participants were migrant workers. 27.6% of the migrant workers reported previous cervical cancer screening compared to 33.2% of local participants. 36.6% migrant workers reported awareness of HPV compared to 40.2% of local participants. In adjusted analysis migrant status was not associated with increased odds of previous cervical cancer screening (aOR = 1.11 95%CI: 0.76-1.60). High school or higher education compared to less than high school education and employer-sponsored insurance compared to uninsured were associated with increased odds of previous cervical cancer screening (aOR = 2.15 95%CI: 1.41-3.27 and aOR = 1.67 95% CI: 1.14-2.45, respectively). Having heard of HPV compared to no awareness of HPV was associated with increased odds of cervical cancer screening (aOR = 2.02 95%CI: 1.41-2.91). Awareness of HPV among migrant workers was associated with increased odds of cervical cancer screening compared to migrant and local participants without awareness (aOR = 2.82 95% CI: 1.70-4.69 and 2.97 95%CI: 1.51-5.83, respectively). Conclusions: Efforts to increase education opportunities, provide insurance, and promote HPV awareness could increase cervical cancer screening uptake in migrant women in China.

Background: India accounts for 25% of total deaths from cervical cancer. Screening for cervical cancer reduces mortality by early detection and treatment. So, a study was conducted among rural women of Ganjam district with the objective to know knowledge, attitude and practice of cervical screening among them.Methods: A community based cross sectional study was conducted from January to February 2019 among ever married women of more than 30 years of age residing in villages of Chhatrapur block of Ganjam district. Sample size was calculated to be 280 by formula Z2pq/l2. Multistage random sampling and PPS method were used to select participants. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data and all data were analysed in SPSS.Results: Among 280 participants, though 70.7% had heard about cervical cancer, only 32.5% knew that there are tests for screening. Only 13.2% of participants said that Pap smear test was to be taken regularly. However, majority didn’t know who should undergo screening test and what age tests should be started. Main source of information for them was health worker (39%). Only 14.6% had any type of cervical screening in their lifetime. The main reason for not going for screening was ignorance (53.9%) followed by thinking tests are not needed unless any symptoms appearedConclusions: Proportion of participants with proper knowledge and awareness regarding cervical cancer screening was low which led to poor uptake of screening. So, awareness regarding cervical cancer screening should be increased. Health camps and education programs should be conducted regularly.
