Diseño de estrategia de intervención educativa sobre prevención del cáncer cervicouterino en mujeres de 30 a 64 años inasistentes al control del papanicolaou. La Concepción, Colta, enero a junio 2016.

Abstract

The objective of this investigation is to design an educational intervention strategy about cervical cancer prevention in women between 30 and 64 years of age who haven´t previously assisted to a papanicolaou control. A descriptive was performed – correlational and transversal in the neighborhood La Concepción, Colta, between January and June of 2016. The data was obtained through an interview, a questionnaire which was validated by a group of experts. The population was composed by 69 Women between the ages of 30 to 64 who previously had not attended a pap control. The results were analyzed with SSPSv. 23. For the correlation we used a chi-square test with a level of significance of 5% (P <0.05). As a results, 24,64 % of predominating age group were women between the ages of 35 and 39, 65.22 % with a primary education level, 75.36 % of marital status married, and 63.77 % auto identified as indigenous. The knowledge about cervical cancer prevention was correlated with the education instruction variable (P=0.002), not behaving like this with the rest of the variables. Knowledge about cervical cancer prevention had a significant relationship with the ´age´ variable (P=0,025) and education level (P=0,016). An educational intervention strategy was designed from the outset of the performed diagnosis. Concluding that knowledge about cervical cancer prevention is not satisfactory, the strategy proposed is timely and necessary. It is recommended to implement the designed strategy in all health centers.
