“…Cancer screening using the Pap smear can identify precancerous and potentially precancerous changes in cervical cells and tissue (Ozkahraman and Yildirim 2012). In developed countries, the widespread use of cervical screening programs has dramatically reduced the incidence of invasive cervical cancer (Canavan and Doshi, 2000).…”

Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality amongst the gynecological cancers worldwide, especially in developing countries. There are few to no initial symptoms and signs. This study was conducted to assess the awareness level of young Pakistani women about cervical cancer and to educate them about this deadly disease. A detailed questionnaire regarding demographic data and information about cervical cancer was distributed in different cities of Punjab. A total of 873 women took part in this survey and 70.1 percent were totally unaware of this cancer. Only 8.5% of the whole surveyed population knew accurately about cancer of cervix, 7% of the surveyed respondents correctly specified the human papilloma virus as the causative agent. Only 5.2% respondents were able to identify the Pap smear test as a diagnostic measure. Out of all the surveyed population only 4.3% of individuals were found to be vaccinated against this disease and the majority was found from the medical profession. Medical professionals, students, working women, housewives and uneducated individuals took active part in this survey. This study demonstrates a low level of awareness among Pakistani women and a need for an active campaign by media and government to increase understanding as well as introducing measures for improved prevention and treatment of cervical cancer.

“…In most of these studies, the criterion was evaluated by two or more independent evaluators. The results of these studies showed that the overall suitability of materials is low to moderate suitability and they need to be improved in some constitutive features such as content, design, graphics and literacy (Akansel & Aydin, 2011; Ang et al, 2022; Avancini et al, 2021; Boureanu et al, 2021; Griffin et al, 2003; Guan et al, 2018; Martin et al, 2022; Rhee et al, 2013; Yin et al, 2013; D.

Background: Patient education information material (PEIM) is an essential component of patient education programs in increasing patients' ability to cope with their diseases. Therefore, it is essential to consider the criteria that will be used to prepare and evaluate these resources.Objective: This paper aims to identify these criteria and recognize the tools or methods used to evaluate them.Methods: National and international databases and indexing banks, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, the Cochrane Library, Magiran, SID and ISC, were searched for this review. Original or review articles, theses, short surveys, and conference papers published between January 1990 and June 2022 were included.Results: Overall, 4688 documents were retrieved, of which 298 documents met the inclusion criteria. The criteria were grouped into 24 overarching criteria. The most frequently used criteria were readability, quality, suitability, comprehensibility and understandability. Conclusion: This review has provided empirical evidence to identify criteria, tools, techniques or methods for developing or evaluating a PEIM. The authors suggest that developing a comprehensive tool based on these findings is critical for evaluating the overall efficiency of PEIM using effective criteria.

“…In past two decades, infection from HPV has increased (Jemal A, 2005, Chen et al, 2012. Using Pap smear cancer screening can identify precancerous and potentially precancerous changes in cervical tissues and cells (Ozkahraman and Yildirim, 2012). Natphopsuk et al reported 3.8% HPV infection in areas where cervical cancer cases are low and 8% HPV infection in areas with high incidence of cervical cancers.…”
