Abstract

Context: Cervical cancer screening is helpful in finding abnormal proliferation of cells in cervix which leads to cervical cancer. Screening of cervical cancer includes cervical cancer which also known as Pap test and some women go through human papilloma virus (HPV) for cervical screening. Cervical cancer usually takes 3-7 years in proliferation of high grade abnormal cells to become a cancer. Cervical cancer screening is helpful in detecting these abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix before they give rise to cancer. Aim: This study was aimed to determine the effectiveness of structured teaching program on knowledge and attitude regarding cervical cancer screening among women attending OPD. Methodology: In this study quasi experimental one group pretest post test design was applied. Convenient sampling technique was used to select the 82 women attending OPD who met the inclusion criteria. Statistical Analysis used: Mean, mean difference, standard deviation, t-test and chi-square. Result: The result revealed that after the intervention the mean and standard deviation of the post test knowledge was 13.08+1.71 being compared to the mean and standard deviation of pre test knowledge 7.33+2.63. It indicates that there was a significant improvement in the level of knowledge of women. The calculated‘t’ value (4.83) on analysis of the data was found to be significant at ‘p’ value 0.05. Conclusion: The study concluded that a structured teaching program was effective in improving the level of knowledge and attitude of women regarding cervical cancer screening.
