Introduction
Cervical cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women worldwide. It can be prevented by identifying pre-cancer lesions at early stages using Pap smear screening and treating these lesions. Knowledge and attitude on cervical cancer and Pap smear tests are associated with actual participation in cervical cancer screening. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate cervical cancer and Pap smear knowledge and attitudes among Mongolian women.
Materials and Methods
A total of 671 women aged 30 to 60 years from urban and rural areas participated in the study. The multiple clusters sampling method was used. We examined the relations of socio-demographic characteristics with lack of knowledge and negative attitude towards Pap smear tests by using a multilogistic regression analysis.
Result
The response rate was 89% (671/750). 62% of the participants correctly answered less than 4 out of 8 questions about cervical cancer risk factors. Also 47,2% and 79,3% of the total number of the women had never heard of Pap Smear and HPV. Only 16,4% of the respondents have some knowledge about them. Almost all (93%) participants agreed that there is a defficiency of information about cancer and its screening.58% and 28% of respondents said that they would participate in Pap smear tests voluntarily and agree to vaccinate their daughters. Positive attitude on Pap smear tests was higher among women living in rural areas and those who have had a Pap smear test.
Conclusions
Cervical cancer and Pap smear knowledge and attitude among the women in Mongolia are low. Having higher education and higher income level did not ensure positive attitude to cervical cancer screening. Strategies for communicating accurate information about cervical cancer, prevention, and detection as well as risk and treatment of cervical cancer are needed.

The reason behind the research According to officially registered note, Ali ibn Abbas was a pioneer in psychophysiology and psychosomatic medicine. He described how the physiological and psychological aspects of a patient can have an effect on one another in his Complete Book of the Medical Art. He found a correlation between patients who were physically and mentally healthy and those who were physically and mentally unhealthy, and concluded that "joy and contentment can bring a better living status tomany who would otherwise be sick and miserable due to unnecessary sadness, fear, worry and anxiety. Franz Alexander led the movement looking for the dynamic interrelation between mind and body.Sigmund Freud pursued a deep interest in psychosomatic illnesses following his correspondence with Georg Grodeck who was, at the time, researching the possibility of treating physical disorders through psychological processes. In the main hand book of Dharma Four basic tantras or treatises of medicine there are number of afflictive emotions, such as desire, hatred, ignorance and obscuration. These emotions impel karma (action) and create potencies in the mind that may ripen later as specific diseases. Going by this doctrine, traditional medicine lists basic disorders, divided into groups of four. The first group comprises disorders that result from the karma of previous lifetimes. Traditional medicine is based on the Buddhist belief that there are numerous unseen forces that can affect and even harm a person. These forces or spirits are suspected when there is no visible cause for a disorder. So our life style or the existence on the verge of nomadic and modern medical knowledge can easily give us a chance to conduct comparative research The reason behind the research Research in traditional psychosomatic medicine.
