ABSTRACT
Objective. To explore the information and counseling
needs of a group of Mexican women during use of the HPV
test.
Materials and methods. In 2011, 24 semistructured
interviews were done with women upon receiving HPV
test results in two municipalities in the state of Michoacan.
Qualitative analysis of the interviews was done using constant
comparison techniques.
Results. During their use of
screening services women received limited counseling; they
felt anguish and confusion. Women were interested in receiving
information and advice on HPV and cervical cancer,
the meaning of test result, next steps to be taken in their
healthcare use as well as information and emotional support
related to the sexual transmission of HPV.
Conclusions.
The design and implementation of policies are needed which
instigate health education and counseling in conjunction with
HPV testing.
