“…Araştırma sonuçlarıyla benzer şekilde yapılan diğer araştırmalarda pap smear testi hakkında bilgisi olanların, pap smear testinin yapılma nedenini bilenlerin ve pap smear testini daha önce duyanların duyarlılık, sağlık motivasyonu ve pap smear yarar/sağlık motivasyonu algılarının yüksek, pap smear engel algılarının düşük olduğu bulunmuştur. (5,14,15,29,30). Çalışma sonuçlarında da görüldüğü gibi pap smear testi hakkında bilgi düzeyi ve testi duyma oranı arttıkça, serviks kanseri ve pap smear testi ile ilgili sağlık inançlarının olumlu olarak arttığı görülmektedir.…”

Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal-Wallis test were used in the evaluation of data.Results: It was determined that 76.2% of the women had heard about a Pap smear test, and 54.1% of them had undergone the Pap smear test. It was determined that the women who were over the age of 40 and had previously heard of the Pap smear test and cervical cancer had undergone the Pap smear test at a higher rate. It was determined that the mean score for the sensitivity sub-dimension of the women over the age of forty and the mean score for the health motivation sub-dimension of the women who received education above 8 years and were employed were high, and their Pap smear barriers were low (p<0.05). It was determined that the mean score for the usefulness and motivation sub-dimensions of those who had heard about the Pap smear test was high, and the mean score for the Pap smear barriers sub-dimension was low. It was determined that the mean scores for the usefulness and motivation and health motivation sub-dimensions of those who had previously had about the Pap smear test were high, and their Pap smear barriers were low (p<0.05). Conclusion:It was determined that the women who were over the age of 40 and had previously heard of the Pap smear test and cervical cancer had undergone the Pap smear test at a higher rate.

Objective This study was conducted to determine health belief levels of women who were living in a city center and applied to Cancer Early Diagnosis Screening and Training Center towards cervical cancer and pap smear tests and identify if the sociodemographic characteristics make a difference or not. Materials and Methods The population of the study consisted of women who applied to Cancer Early Diagnosis Screening and Training Center located in Bingöl city center for routine screening. The study was completed with 188 women. Personal Information Form and Health Belief Model Scale for Cervical Cancer and Pap Smear Test were used to collect the data of the study. Results According to the study results, it was determined that the women had the highest mean score in pap smear barriers subscale and the lowest mean score in the cancer sensitivity subscale among subscales of Health Belief Model Scale for Cervical Cancer and Pap Smear Test. Conclusion Most of the women participating in the study had not heard of HPV and pap smear test before, and never had a pap smear test. In addition, having heard of HPV before and knowing and having the pap smear test increased pap smear and cervical cancer benefit perception and decreased the barrier perception. In this context, the most important factor causing barrier perception towards pap smear test and cervical cancer is the lack of knowledge of women on this issue. Therefore, informing and providing counseling about pap smear test and cervical cancer by healthcare professionals is believed to be important. Keywords Cervical Cancer; pap smear; early diagnosis Öz Amaç Bu araştırma, bir şehir merkezinde yaşayan ve Kanser Erken Teşhis, Tarama ve Eğitim Merkezleri (KETEM) 'ne başvuran kadınların serviks kanseri ve pap smear testlerine yönelik sağlık inançlarının düzeyini belirlemek ve sosyodemografik özelliklerin fark oluşturup oluşturmadığını tespit etmek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Gereç ve Yöntemler Araştırmanın evrenini, Bingöl il merkezinde bulunan KETEM'e rutin tarama için başvuran kadınlar oluşturmuştur. Araştırma 188 kadın ile tamamlanmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında; Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Rahim Ağzı Kanseri ve Pap Smear Testi Sağlık İnanç Modeli Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular Çalışma sonuçlarına göre kadınların Rahim Ağzı Kanseri ve Pap Smear Testi Sağlık İnanç Modeli Ölçeği alt boyutlarından, en yüksek puan ortalamasının pap smear engeller alt boyutunda olduğu, en düşük puan ortalamasının ise kanser duyarlılık boyutunda olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç Çalışmaya katılan kadınların çoğunun daha önce HPV virüsünü ve pap smear testini duymadığı, hiç pap smear testi yaptırmadığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca HPV virüsünü daha önce duymuş olmanın ve pap smear testini bilme ve yaptırma durumunun pap smear ve serviks kanseri yarar algısını artırdığı, engel algısını ise azalttığı belirlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda pap smear testi ve serviks kanseri engel algısına neden olan en önemli faktör, kadınların bu konudaki bilgi eksikliğidir. Bu nedenle de sağlık personeli tarafından pap smear tes...
