Effectiveness of Couple Education and Counseling on Cervical Cancer Screening Uptake
Key Findings
Cervical cancer is a significant global health issue, particularly in developing countries, due to low screening rates and late-stage detection. This study aimed to assess the impact of couple education and counseling on women’s uptake of cervical cancer screening.
The intervention involved home-based education and counseling for the intervention group, leading to a substantial increase in awareness of cervical cancer and screening, improvement in knowledge scores, and a significant rise in screening uptake compared to the control group.
Key highlights of the study:
- Awareness of cervical cancer and screening increased from 22.9% to 100%
- Mean knowledge scores improved from 3.18 to 11.99
- Cervical screening uptake rose from 2.1% to 72.5% in the intervention group (p < 0.001)
- Statistically significant difference in screening uptake between study groups (p = 0.021)
Practical Solutions and Value
This study demonstrates the effectiveness of structured home-based couple education and counseling in improving cervical screening uptake. It emphasizes the importance of creating awareness, increasing knowledge, and enhancing women’s perceptions to promote cervical cancer screening among the target population.
