目的调查西藏昌都地区女性对宫颈癌的认知度及其相关因素,为该地区疾病预防控制提供参考依据。方法选择2012年1月—2015年3月西藏自治区昌都地区藏医院妇科就诊的460例女性患者对于宫颈癌的认知度进行问卷调查,同时分析影响女性认知度的相关因素。结果年龄、文化程度、收入水平、户口(城市或农村)是影响女性对宫颈癌知晓的重要相关因素。18~20岁女性知晓率(26.1%)低于21~30岁女性(79.6%)。大学专科学历以上女性知晓率(80.9%)高于高中以下学历的女性(50.3%)。农村女性知晓率(79.1%)低于城市女性(88.7%);女性收入水平越高,则知晓率越高。知晓率与婚姻状况差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论西藏昌都地区女性患者宫颈癌知晓率相对较低,应加强健康教育,以提高成年女性对宫颈癌筛查的意识。
Objective To investigate the female awareness of cervical cancer and its related factors in Changdu, Tibet, and provide reference for disease prevention and control in this area. Methods 460 women with gynecological visit from January 2012 to March 2015 in Tibetan Medicine Hospital of Changdu Tibetan Autonomous Region were surveyed for the awareness of cervical cancer and the related factors influencing female’s cognition were analyzed. Results Age, educational attainment, income level and hukou (urban or rural) were the important factors influencing women’s awareness of cervical cancer. The awareness rate of women aged 18-20 years (26.1%) was lower than that of women aged 21-30 years (79.6%). Women with college degree or higher (80.9%) have higher awareness than women with high school diploma (50.3%). Rural women’s awareness rate (79.1%) is lower than that of urban women (88.7%); the higher the female’s income level, the higher the awareness rate. There was no significant difference in awareness rate and marital status (P> 0.05). Conclusions There is a relatively low awareness rate of cervical cancer in female patients in Changdu, Tibet. Health education should be strengthened to raise awareness of cervical cancer screening in adult women.
