ABSTRACT

Introduction: The cervical–uterine cancer is the most frequent in the female genital system and it takes the second place of cancer frequency in women, preceded by breast cancer.
Objective: the aim of this work is to determine the influence of epidemiological factors in the behavior of rejection towards the cytological test in women about 25 to 55 years in the areas 40 and 41 of Jiguaní municipality during the period of 2007 to 2009.
Method: it was performed a case and control study directed to the women included in the cytology program of the medical offices 40 and 41, belonging to Edor de los Reyes Martínez Polyclinic in Jiguaní, since 2007 to 2009.
Results: it is clear that the presence of unpleasant symptoms at the moment of the test procedure is a determining factor when creating and promoting the rejection behavior in the patient for the following taking, it is evidenced then the importance of the ¨last experience¨ that psychologists mention about the creation of certain patterns of behavior directed to a certain event.
Conclusions: there was a high statistical association between the rejection behavior to the cytological test and the presence of annoying symptoms at the moment of the procedure; the fear for the test and its result were significantly related to the rejection behavior, the main obstacles identified were the distance to the medical office and the difficulty to leave the house alone and go to do the test.
