Overview

Descriptive survey reveals low knowledge and negative attitudes toward cervical cancer screening in women aged 20-49.

Key Points

  • Only 21.5% of women demonstrated good practice in cervical cancer screening, indicating a significant gap in service utilization.
  • The majority (67.3%) of women had poor knowledge about cervical cancer screening, which directly impacted their attitudes and practices.
  • Descriptive survey analysis employed a self-structured questionnaire with data collected from 180 women in a health centre in Nigeria.
  • Positive changes in knowledge and attitudes may enhance the uptake of cervical cancer screening services among women.
