“…Although, the routine educational programs of the health center increased the rate of Pap smear test in the control group, this increase in the experimental group was much higher and close to 80%. The significant increase in the rate of doing Pap smear test after the educational intervention based on the HBM has been also reported by Shobeiri et al [ 10 ], Parsa et al [ 23 ], Koc et al [ 24 ], and Kolutek et al [ 25 ],Taking into account the importance of pap smear test and the role of health centers in this regard, it seems that implementation of such programs based on the HBM in clinics and health centers may lead to an increase in the quality of education, more effectiveness in the target group, creation of higher motivation in the individuals to attend the screening program, and higher chance of early detection of pre-cancer and cancer lesions. All these result in a less prevalence of cervical cancer, fewer medication costs, and lower death rates.…”

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the major health problems and the third prevalent cancer in women all around the world. As a simple, inexpensive, and with no side-effects, Pap test is a reliable way to screen cervical cancer. This study aimed to investigate, the effects of educational intervention based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) on doing Pap smear tests among the rural women of the north of Iran. Methods: In a quasi-experimental study, 160 rural women were randomly divided into control and experimental groups to experience a three-session intervention. The experimental group received the usual educational programs of rural health center and educational programs based on the HBM constructs through personal consultation, asking/ answering questions, and an educational pamphlet. The control group, received the usual educational programs of rural health center. The post-test data were collected 2 months after the intervention and analyzed in SPSS-18. Results: Before the intervention, there was no significant difference between the control and experimental groups regarding the mean score of knowledge, performance and constructs of the HBM. After the intervention, however, there was a significant difference in the mean scores of knowledge performance and all constructs of the HBM in two groups (p < 0.001). Rate of doing the Pap smear test in the experimental group increased from 18.7 to 78.7% in the intervention group. Conclusion: These findings support the effectiveness of cervical cancer prevention programs based on the HBM. Therefore, conducting similar programs in other regions is recommended.

This study aimed to investigate, the effects of educational intervention based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) on doing pap tests in the women living in the rural areas of the north of Iran.Methods: In a quasi-experimental study, 160 rural women were randomly divided into control and experiment groups to experience a three session’s intervention. The experiment group received, educational programs based on the HBM constructs through personal consultation, asking/answering questions, and an educational pamphlet.

“…Households where ≥ 1 screened woman resided tended to be located closer to each other, as compared with the proximity of households with no screened women. Neighborhood-level factors, such as outreach by community health workers, 23 community-based educational programs, 24 , 25 and communication among neighbors, 26 , 27 may play a role in creating pockets of screened households within Amazonian Peru. Neighborhood socioeconomic condition may also affect screening participation.…”

PURPOSE Cervical cancer (CC) is the most common and second-most deadly cancer among Peruvian women. Access to services is strongly associated with CC screening uptake. This study investigated geospatial features contributing to utilization of screening. We used geolocated data and screening information from a Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practice (KAP) survey implemented in Iquitos, Peru in 2017. MATERIALS AND METHODS The KAP collected cross-sectional CC screening history from 619 female interviewees age 18-65 years within 5 communities of varying urbanization levels. We used spatial statistics to determine if screened households tended to cluster together or cluster around facilities offering screening in greater numbers than expected, given the underlying population density. RESULTS On the basis of K-functions, screened households displayed greater clustering among each other as compared with clustering among unscreened households. Neighborhood-level factors, such as outreach, communication, or socioeconomic condition, may be functioning to generate pockets of screened households. Cross K-functions showed that screened households are generally located closer to health facilities than unscreened households. The significance of facility access is apparent and demonstrates that travel and time barriers to seeking health services must be addressed. CONCLUSION This study highlights the importance of considering geospatial features when determining factors associated with CC screening uptake. Given the observed clustering of screened households, neighborhood-level dynamics should be further studied to understand how they may be influencing screening rates. In addition, results demonstrate that accessibility issues must be carefully considered when designing an effective cancer screening program that includes screening, follow-up, and treatment.
