Abstract

Aim: Human Papilloma Virus is the main cause of cervical cancer as well as cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions. It is important to understand the factors that may increase the likelihood of vaccination and other protective behaviors. The aim of this study is to investigate the knowledge, attitude and behavior of Human Papilloma Virus vaccine and cervical cancer in female patients who applied to our family medicine outpatient clinic in Eskişehir.
Material and Method: Our study was carried out with 295 female health care workers and patient participants who applied to our polyclinic. Participants were asked to complete the questionnaire form which was created by us. The awareness of the participants about cervical cancer and vaccination was determined with questions.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the educational status and cervical cancer screening. Pap smear test rates of those who had gynecological examination were found to be statistically significantly higher than those without gynecological examination. There was no statistically significant difference between the women who had previously known about the cervical cancer screening test and the ones who did not receive information about the Pap Smear test.
Conclusion: The fact that health workers have sufficient knowledge level and behaviors with their behaviors in cancer screening will be very effective in the success of cancer screening.

Keywords: cervical cancer, preventive medicine, vaccine, women's health

Amaç: Human Papilloma Virüs, servikal skuamöz intraepitelyal lezyonların yanı sıra rahim ağzı kanserinin ana nedenidir. Aşılanma ve diğer koruyucu davranışlarda bulunma olasılığını artırabilecek faktörleri daha derinlemesine anlamak önemlidir. Çalışmamızla birlikte amacımız Eskişehir ilinde aile hekimliği polikliniğimize başvuran kadın hastaların Human Papilloma Virüs aşısı ve rahim ağzı kanseri hakkında bilgi, tutum ve davranışlarını incelemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamız, polikliniğimize başvuran 295 kadın sağlık çalışanı ve hasta katılımcıda yapılmıştır. Katılımcılardan tarafımızca oluşturulan anket formunu doldurmaları istenmiştir. Katılımcıların serviks kanseri ve aşı hakkındaki farkındalıkları sorularla tespit edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Eğitim durumu ile rahim ağzı kanseri taraması arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlılık saptanmamıştır. Jinekolojik muayene olanların Pap Smear testi yaptırma oranları, jinekolojik muayene yaptırmayanlara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek olarak bulunmuştur. Rahim ağzı kanser tarama testi ile ilgili daha önceden bilgi sahibi olan kadın hastaların, Pap Smear testi ile ilgili bilgilendirme almayanlara göre testi yaptırma durumları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmamıştır.
Sonuç: Kanser taramalarında sağlık çalışanlarının yeterli bilgi düzeyine sahip olması ve davranışlarıyla örnek olmaları, kanser taramalarının başarıya ulaşmasında oldukça etkili olacaktır.
