摘要

背景:宫颈癌在全球记录的癌症中排名第四,是妇女癌症相关发病率和死亡率的第二大常见原因。虽然子宫颈癌是致命的,但通过广泛和反复的筛查及早发现癌前细胞可以显著降低发病率。然而,接受子宫颈癌筛查的程度很低,即使在保健工作者中也是如此。目的:探讨基层护理人员对宫颈癌筛查的认知。环境:这项研究是在莱里贝区的四个初级保健中心进行的。方法:探索性定性研究。研究者有目的的选取了10名护士,并对其进行了访谈。对数据进行了专题分析。结果:护士对宫颈癌筛查的认知影响她们是否常规检测宫颈癌。某些观念,如易患癌症、对癌症后果的恐惧、对负面结果感到宽慰、高度自我效能、培训和目睹死亡,都鼓励进行常规筛查。那些不鼓励常规筛查的因素包括害怕阳性检测、缺乏结果、认为筛查者缺乏自信和隐私,以及自我效能低。结论:这些研究结果表明,护士接受定期筛查的决定可能受到她们对宫颈癌筛查的认识的鼓励,也可能受到阻碍。它们还暗示,普通公众也可能受到这些观念的影响。贡献:这些发现显著增加了关于如何改进政策以改善护理筛查规划的知识体系,这可以提高一般人群的筛查率。

Exploring primary health care nurses' perceptions of cervical cancer screening in Leribe, Lesotho.

Background:  Cervical cancer ranks fourth among cancers recorded globally and is the second most common cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality in women. Although cervical cancer is fatal, the early discovery of precancerous cells by extensive and recurrent screening could lead to a significant decline in incidence. However, the acceptance of cervical cancer screening is low, even among healthcare workers.

Aim:  To explore the perceptions of primary care nurses about cervical cancer screening.

Setting:  The study was carried out in four primary health care centres (PHCCs) in the Leribe district.

Methods:  This is an exploratory qualitative study. The researcher purposively selected and interviewed 10 nurses at the selected PHCCs. The data were analysed thematically.

Results:  Nurses' perceptions of cervical cancer screening influenced whether they routinely detect the disease. Certain perceptions, such as being susceptible to cancer, fear of cancer consequences, feeling relieved by negative results, high self-efficacy, training and witnessing deaths, all encouraged routine screening. Those that discouraged routine screening included fear of positive testing, lack of results, perceived lack of confidence and privacy in screeners and low self-efficacy.

Conclusion:  These findings show that nurses' decisions to undergo a regular screening are either encouraged or discouraged by their perceptions about cervical cancer screening. They also imply that the general public may be impacted by these perceptions as well.Contribution: These findings add significantly to the body of knowledge about how policies can be improved to improve nursing screening programmes, which can improve screening rates among the general population.
