Abstract

Introduction: Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among women globally as well as in Nepal. It is attributable to persistent infection by high-risk human papillomavirus, especially human papillomavirus-16 and human papillomavirus-18. The aim of this study was to find out the knowledge of cervical cancer screening and prevention by human papillomavirus deoxyribonucleic acid and human papillomavirus vaccination among women attending a tertiary care centre.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in patients attending the outpatient Department of Gynaecology in a tertiary care centre from 18 March to 30 April 2023. After calculating sample size and taking a convenience sampling a survey questionnaire on knowledge of Cervical Cancer Screening and Prevention by Human Papillomavirus Deoxyribonucleic Acid and Human Papillomavirus Vaccination was collected. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% confidence interval.

Results: Among 508 women, 42 (8.25%) (5.86-10.64, 95% Confidence Interval) had knowledge of cervical cancer screening and prevention by human papillomavirus deoxyribonucleic acid and human papillomavirus vaccination. According to the questionnaires with a total sample of 508, 164 (32.28%) know about cervical cancer, 15 (2.95%) know about HPV infection, 14 (2.76%) know about HPV infection causes cervical cancer, and 21 (4.13%) know about HPV transmitted through multiple sex partners.

Conclusions: The knowledge of cervical cancer screening and prevention by human papillomavirus deoxyribonucleic acid and human papillomavirus vaccination among women is very low. This study recommends having a health education and awareness programme on it to increase knowledge.

Keywords: cervical cancer; human papillomavirus; pap smear; sexual intercourse; vaccination.

第三级医疗中心就诊妇女对宫颈癌筛查、人类乳头瘤病毒脱氧核糖核酸预防以及人类乳头瘤病毒疫苗接种的了解。

导言：宫颈癌是全球和尼泊尔妇女发病和死亡的主要原因之一。它可归因于高危人类乳头瘤病毒的持续感染，尤其是人类乳头瘤病毒-16 和人类乳头瘤病毒-18。本研究的目的是了解在一家三级医疗中心就诊的妇女对宫颈癌筛查以及通过人类乳头瘤病毒脱氧核糖核酸和人类乳头瘤病毒疫苗接种预防宫颈癌的认识：在 2023 年 3 月 18 日至 4 月 30 日期间，对在一家三级医疗中心妇科门诊就诊的患者进行了一项描述性横断面研究。在计算样本量并采取便利抽样后，收集了一份关于宫颈癌筛查和人类乳头瘤病毒脱氧核糖核酸预防以及人类乳头瘤病毒疫苗接种知识的调查问卷。结果显示，在 508 名妇女中，有 42 人（8%）对宫颈癌筛查和人乳头状瘤病毒脱氧核糖核酸及人乳头状瘤病毒疫苗接种有所了解：结果：在 508 名妇女中，42 人（8.25%）（5.86-10.64，95% 置信区间）了解宫颈癌筛查以及人类乳头瘤病毒脱氧核糖核酸和人类乳头瘤病毒疫苗接种的预防知识。根据对 508 个样本的问卷调查，164 人（32.28%）了解宫颈癌，15 人（2.95%）了解人乳头状瘤病毒感染，14 人（2.76%）了解人乳头状瘤病毒感染导致宫颈癌，21 人（4.13%）了解人乳头状瘤病毒通过多个性伴侣传播：结论：妇女对宫颈癌筛查以及通过人类乳头瘤病毒脱氧核糖核酸和人类乳头瘤病毒疫苗预防宫颈癌的了解非常少。关键词：宫颈癌；人类乳头瘤病毒；宫颈涂片；性交；疫苗接种。

期刊介绍： The magazine contains technical information covering a broad range of issues in multimedia systems and applications. Articles discuss research as well as advanced practice in hardware/software and are expected to span the range from theory to working systems. Especially encouraged are papers discussing experiences with new or advanced systems and subsystems. To avoid unnecessary overlap with existing publications, acceptable papers must have a significant focus on aspects unique to multimedia systems and applications. These aspects are likely to be related to the special needs of multimedia information compared to other electronic data, for example, the size requirements of digital media and the importance of time in the representation of such media. The following list is not exhaustive, but is representative of the topics that are covered: Hardware and software for media compression, coding & processing; Media representations & standards for storage, editing, interchange, transmission & presentation; Hardware platforms supporting multimedia applications; Operating systems suitable for multimedia applications; Storage devices & technologies for multimedia information; Network technologies, protocols, architectures & delivery techniques intended for multimedia; Synchronization issues; Multimedia databases; Formalisms for multimedia information systems & applications; Programming paradigms & languages for multimedia; Multimedia user interfaces; Media creation integration editing & management; Creation & modification of multimedia applications.
