Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışma, üniversitedeki kadınların serviks kanseri ve pap smear testine ilişkin sağlık inançlarını etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışmanın örneklemini, bir üniversitenin merkez yerleşkesinde çalışan, dahil edilme ölçütlerine uyan ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 101 kadın oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri, Haziran Ağustos 2017 tarihlerinde veri toplama formu ve Rahim Ağzı Kanseri ve Pap Smear Testi Sağlık İnanç Modeli Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan kadınların yaş ortalaması 35.53±5.82 olup, %56.4’ü öğretim elemanı olarak çalışmaktadır. Kadınların %73.3’ünün pap smear testi hakkında bilgisinin olduğu bulunmuştur. Kadınların %68.3’ü en az bir kez testi yaptırmıştır. Pap smear testi hakkında bilgisi olanların, Rahim Ağzı Kanseri ve Pap Smear Testi Sağlık İnanç Modeli Ölçeği’nin alt boyutlarından olan pap smear yarar ve motivasyon algısının yükseldiği ve engel algısının düştüğü belirlenmiştir (p<0.05). Sonuç: Pap smear testi hakkında bilgisi olan, bu testi ve jinekolojik muayeneyi yaptıran üniversitede çalışan kadınlar arasında pap smear testini yaptırmayı engelleyen algıları azalmaktadır. Dolayısıyla, üniversitedeki kadınların pap smear testi yaptırma yüzdesini artırmak için serviks kanseri ve pap smear testine ilişkin düzenli eğitimler yapılmalıdır.
Aim: This study was conducted to determine the factors influencing health beliefs about cervical cancer and pap smear test among the women at a university. Method: The sample of this descriptive study was composed of 101 women working at the central campus of a university, who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the research. The data were gathered using a data collection form and Health Belief Model Scale for Cervical Cancer and Pap Smear Test between June and August 2017. Findings: Average age of the participants was 35.53±5.82, 56.4% of them were lecturers. It was found that 73.3% of the women had knowledge about pap smear test. 68.3% of the women have undergone the test at least once. It was seen that the perception of the benefits of pap smear tests and health motivation, which is one of the subdimensions of the Health Belief Model Scale for Cervical Cancer and Pap Smear Test has improved and the barrier perception has declined in women who had knowledge about the test (p<0.05). Conclusion: The perceived barriers towards pap smear test diminish among women working at the university, who have had knowledge about the test and have undergone a gynaecological examination and the test. Accordingly, regular training on cervical cancer and pap smear test should be provided to improve the rate of having pap smear test among the women at the university. Key words: University, Woman, Cervical cancer, Belief, Health attitude
