ABSTRACT
Objective: to determine the efficiency of two interventions to
make women awareness in the participation of the appropriate
detection program of cancer of the cervix (DCC).
Material and
methods: an experimental study realiced in a Primary Care Unit
where the women included, according to the NOM-014-SSA2-1994
recommendations, need to be tested. The experimental group was
randomized selected (patients were selected to the experimental)
or control group (through a randomized method). The dependant
variable was the presence of women who wanted the detection test
in relation to a period of time.
Results: there were 50 women in
each group. There was a similar distribution of women that had
never taken the detection test before in both groups. In the experimental
group there was a higher number of women that took
the test after the intervention than in the control group, 34 (68%)
vs. 24 (52%) p‹0.05. These values show that there is an important
difference in the population who takes the test after the training
sessions.
Conclusion: there was a bigger positive impact in women
who were aware about the cancer of the cervix and the importance
of its detection. This refl ected in a higher
attendance to the study, mainly in women
that had taken the same test previously.
