Abstract

Cervical cancer screening has the potential to save lives, but it can also produce strong anxiety and self-stigma in those who are screened. Although there has been a recent turn towards women's health in design, the potential for design to ameliorate experiences of cervical screening remains underexplored. In this paper, we report on a design research study with 15 Irish women that qualitatively unpacked their attitudes towards screening, their social learning processes, mediated through technology, and how they live with and give meaning to health-related information related to the topic of cervical screening and which they procure online. Following this, we developed NALA, a product-service-system that aimed to 1) allow self-sampling for HPV via menstrual blood, and 2) provide information around the topic of HPV, cervical cancer, and screening. This paper presents NALA, a preliminary evaluation of the system, and concludes with provocations for continuing design research in the area of digital design for women's health.

你、我和人乳头瘤病毒：探索宫颈自我采样态度的设计研究

宫颈癌筛查有可能挽救生命，但也会给接受筛查的人带来强烈的焦虑和自我耻辱感。尽管近来在设计中开始关注女性健康，但设计在改善宫颈癌筛查体验方面的潜力仍未得到充分发掘。在本文中，我们报告了一项针对 15 名爱尔兰妇女的设计研究，该研究从定性角度分析了她们对筛查的态度、她们通过技术媒介进行社会学习的过程，以及她们如何与宫颈筛查主题相关的健康信息相处并赋予其意义，这些信息都是她们在网上获取的。在此基础上，我们开发了产品服务系统 NALA，其目的是：1）允许通过经血进行 HPV 自我采样；2）围绕 HPV、宫颈癌和筛查主题提供信息。本文介绍了 NALA 和对该系统的初步评估，最后提出了在妇女健康数字设计领域继续开展设计研究的建议。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Human-Computer Studies publishes original research over the whole spectrum of work relevant to the theory and practice of innovative interactive systems. The journal is inherently interdisciplinary, covering research in computing, artificial intelligence, psychology, linguistics, communication, design, engineering, and social organization, which is relevant to the design, analysis, evaluation and application of innovative interactive systems. Papers at the boundaries of these disciplines are especially welcome, as it is our view that interdisciplinary approaches are needed for producing theoretical insights in this complex area and for effective deployment of innovative technologies in concrete user communities. Research areas relevant to the journal include, but are not limited to: • Innovative interaction techniques • Multimodal interaction • Speech interaction • Graphic interaction • Natural language interaction • Interaction in mobile and embedded systems • Interface design and evaluation methodologies • Design and evaluation of innovative interactive systems • User interface prototyping and management systems • Ubiquitous computing • Wearable computers • Pervasive computing • Affective computing • Empirical studies of user behaviour • Empirical studies of programming and software engineering • Computer supported cooperative work • Computer mediated communication • Virtual reality • Mixed and augmented Reality • Intelligent user interfaces • Presence ...
