Resumen
PARRA ZAMBRANO, Ashli Rosa Coraima; TALAVERA, Jesús E.; RAMIREZ-ORTEGA, Andrea P. y SUAREZ EGOAVIL, Catherine A.. Socio-cultural factors that influence 50-year-old users for Papanicolaou screening at a Nasca Hospital. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.2, pp.88-94. Epub 18-Abr-2023. ISSN 1814-5469. http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v23i2.5645.
Objective:
The objective of this study was to determine the sociocultural factors in 50-year-old users for pap smears at the Ricardo Cruzado Rivarola de Nasca Hospital during the period December 2021 - February 2022.
Material and methods:
Observational, analytical, and prospective study. The study population is made up of 80 50-year-old users who attend the Ricardo Cruzado Rivarola Hospital for PAP tests at the gynecology-obstetrics office and the sample is 67 users, selected by non-probabilistic sampling for convenience.
Results:
For the first analysis, in simple and multiple regression, it was found that women with high levels of knowledge had a 384% and 382% higher frequency of having ever undergone a PAP test compared to those with low levels of knowledge.
Conclusions:
The level of knowledge about the PAP has a relevant influence on having carried out a PAP; but also the women who had a high level were the ones who had the highest frequency of having done it. This added to the number of children; possibly because in the circles of women with children one of the topics to be discussed is about maternal health and within them the PAP.
