Abstract:
Objective To explore the influence of screening programme on awareness of cervical cancer prevention among 30 to 59 years old women who live in rural areas of Beijing.Methods A face-to-face cross-sectional survey on women's knowledge on cervical cancer prevention was conducted in 2008 and 2009 among subjects recurited by three-stage stratified random sampling.ResultsUnivariate analysis showed that since the initiation of cervical cancer screening in Daxing District of Beijing,the overall awareness of cervical cancer was significantly increased among women residents,and the percentage of women with 5 or more correct answers was increased from 37.3％ to 51.0％ ( x2=62.06,P＜0.001).After adjusting confounding factors,multivariate analysis showedthat cervical cancer screening programme contributed to improved awareness of cervical cancer-related knowledge ( OR =1.853,95％ CI1.590 -2.159).In addition,current place of residence,education level,household income per-capita and screening history within 5 years were major factors affecting women's awareness of cervical cancer ( OR vales were 1.766,2.580,1.350 and1.676,respectively),and higher education level and personal income were correlated with increased awareness rate.ConclusionCervical cancer screening could improve general knowledge of cervical cancer,especially for those who have never participated in the screening programme.
