ABSTRACT

It was performed a descriptive observational and transversal study at Carlos Manuel de Cespedes University Hospital in Bayamo, Granma province, during the year 2005, with the aim to identify the knowledge and the attitude of women towards the secreening program of cervical uterine cancer. There were studied 71 patients diagnosed with this type of cancer. The vaginal cytology was not performed in the 9,9 % of them, although all of them answered that they knew about the examination. It was evidenced that the vaginal cytology influences in the precocious diagnostic of the disease (p=0.0181). It was found a relation between the groups of ages and the development of the vaginal cytology (p=0.000), besides it was observed that the late diagnostic increases with the age. Not all of the women presented a good attitude towards the screening program, in spite of their knowledge about it, what influenced in the diagnostic of this illness after the 59 years. The development of the cytological test is a fundamental link in the precocious diagnostic of the disease.
