Healthy Women or Risk Patients? Non-attendance in a cervical cancer screening program
نویسنده
چکیده
Cervixcancer (livmoderhalscancer) är en av de vanligaste cancerformerna bland kvinnor i hela världen. Genom att kvinnor deltar i gynekologisk cellprovskontroll (gck) kan antalet kvinnor som insjuknar eller dör i cervixcancer minska och därför har screeningprogram införts i många länder. Det har visat sig att de kvinnor som sällan eller aldrig går på gck, är de kvinnor som löper störst risk att få cervixcancer. I det landsting där studien genomfördes visade det sig att ca tolv procent av kvinnorna i åldern 28-65 år saknade ett registrerat cellprov de senaste fem åren. I den aktuella doktorsavhandlingen undersöktes varför kvinnorna valt att avstå från att delta i gck, samt genomfördes individuella stödjande insatser till de som önskade att få ett prov taget.
