the effect of education on women s practice based on the Health Belief model about pap smear test
International Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2012Co-Authors: Asiyeh Pirzadeh, Maryam Amidi MazaheriAbstract:Introduction: Cervical cancer is the most common gynecological cancer in Iran. The single most effective tool in reducing death due to cervical cancer is the use of pap smear as a screening tool. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of education based on Health Belief Model about giving pap smear in women. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed on 70 women who referred to two Health center in Kouhdasht (Lorestan- Iran). The samples were randomly divided in two groups (35 in intervention group and 35 in control group). The data were collected by a validated and reliable questionnaire. Interventions were run based on Health Belief Model during three sessions only for intervention group. Each educational session was for 45–60 min. The independent t -test and paired t -test were used to analyze data. A two-tailed P value lower than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result: According to results, the mean scores of knowledge were significantly different between two groups after intervention ( P < 0.001). The mean scores of the model variables (perceived susceptibility and severity, perceived benefits, and barriers) had no significant difference in the two groups before intervention, but after intervention had significant difference between the two groups ( P < 0.001). Conclusion: Designing and executing Health education programs based on Health Belief model can promote the practice of women regarding to pap smear tests. Keywords: Health Belief model, pap smear test, woman

Health Belief model scale for cervical cancer and pap smear test psychometric testing
Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2011Co-Authors: Gulten Guvenc, Aygul Akyuz, Cengiz Han AcikelAbstract:guvenc g., akyuz a. & acikel c.h. (2011) Health Belief Model Scale for Cervical Cancer and Pap Smear Test: psychometric testing. Journal of Advanced Nursing 67(2), 428–437. Abstract Aim. This study is a report of the development and psychometric testing of the Health Belief Model Scale for Cervical Cancer and the Pap Smear Test. Background. While the Champion Health Belief Model scales have been tested extensively for breast cancer and screening for this, evaluation of these scales in explaining the Beliefs of women with regard to cervical cancer and the Pap Smear Test has only received limited attention. Methods. This methodological research was carried out in Turkey in 2007. The data were collected with 237 randomly selected women who met the criteria for inclusion and agreed to participate in this study. The Champion Health Belief Model scales were translated into Turkish, adapted for cervical cancer, validated by professional experts, translated back into English and pilot-tested. Findings. Factor analysis yielded five factors: Pap smear benefits and Health motivation, Pap smear barriers, seriousness, susceptibility and Health motivation. Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients for the five subscales ranged from 0·62 to 0·86, and test–retest reliability coefficients ranged from 0·79 to 0·87 for the subscales. Conclusion. The Health Belief Model Scale for Cervical Cancer and the Pap Smear Test was found to be a valid and reliable tool in assessing the women’s Health Beliefs. Understanding the Beliefs of women in respect of cervical cancer and the Pap Smear Test will help Healthcare professionals to develop more effective cervical cancer screening programmes.

associations of demographic variables and the Health Belief model constructs with pap smear screening among urban women in botswana
International Journal of Women's Health, 2013Co-Authors: Ditsapelo M McfarlandAbstract:Purpose Papanicolaou (Pap) smear services are available in most urban areas in Botswana. Yet most women in such areas do not screen regularly for cancer of the cervix. The purpose of this article is to present findings on the associations of demographic variables and Health Belief Model constructs with Pap smear screening among urban women in Botswana.
