Abstract
Amaç: Araflt›rma, kad›n sa¤l›k çal›flanlar›n›n (Hemflire, Hekim,
Ebe) servikal kansere iliflkin bilgi ve tutumlar›n›n belirlenmesi
amac›yla tan›mlay›c› olarak yap›lm›flt›r.
Materyal ve Metod: Tan›mlay›c› olarak planlanan araflt›rmada veri
toplama arac› olarak, Form I Kiflisel Bilgi Formu, Form II Serviks
Kanseri Risk Faktörleri, Pap smear ve HPV Bilgi Formu ve Form III
Servikal Kanserin Erken Tan›s›na ‹liflkin Tutum Ölçe¤i’nden oluflan
üç adet form kullan›lm›flt›r. Veriler bilgisayar ortam›nda frekans
da¤›l›m›, khi-kare testi, Kruskal Wallis varyans analizi, korelasyon
analizi ve iki ortalama aras›ndaki fark›n önemlilik testi kullan›larak
de¤erlendirilmifltir.
Sonuçlar: Araflt›rmaya kat›lan kad›n sa¤l›k çal›flanlar›n›n (KSÇ)
%71,7’sinin hemflire, %17,4’ünün hekim, %10,9’unun ebe oldu¤u ve
%68,4’ünün evli oldu¤u görülmektedir. KSÇ’n›n %50,2’sinin hiç
jinekolojik muayene yapt›rmad›¤› ve %70,4’ünün hiç Pap smear test
yapt›rmad›¤› belirlenmifltir. KSÇ’n›n yafl, medeni durum, e¤itim
durumu ve mesleklerine göre jinekolojik muayene yapt›rma ve Pap
smear test yapt›rma durumlar› aras›ndaki fark istatistiksel olarak
önemli bulunmufltur (p<0,05). KSÇ’n›n, e¤itim durumlar›na, mesleklerine
ve çal›flt›klar› bölüme göre serviks kanseri risk faktörleri, Pap
smear ve HPV bilgi formundan ald›klar› toplam puanlar› aras›ndaki
fark istatistiksel olarak önemli bulunmufltur (p<0,05). KSÇ’n›n serviks
kanserinin erken tan›s›na yönelik tutumlar›n›n belirlenmesi amac›yla
uygulanan ölçek sonucunda, KSÇ’n›n yafl, e¤itim durumu, jinekolojik
muayene yapt›rma, Pap smear test yapt›rma, serviks kanserine yönelik
bilgi alma ve bilgi verme durumlar› ile servikal kanserin erken
tan›s›na iliflkin tutum ölçe¤inden ald›klar› toplam puan durumlar›
aras›ndaki fark istatistiksel olarak önemli bulunmufltur (p<0,05).
Tart›flma: KSÇ’n›n serviks kanserine iliflkin bilgi ve tutumlar›
istendik düzeyde de¤ildir

Abstract
Aim: The study was performed descriptively to determine the
knowledge and attitudes of female health workers (nurses, doctors,
midwives) regarding cervical cancer.
Material and Method: In this descriptive study, three forms including
Individual Information Form, Cervical Cancer Risk Factors, Pap
smear and HPV Information Form, Attitude Scale Towards Early
Diagnosis of Cervical Cancer were used as data collection tools. The
data were evaluated in computer environment by using the frequency
distribution, Chi-Square test, Kruskal Wallis Analysis of Variance,
the correlation analysis, and the significance test for the difference
between two mean values.
Results: %71.7, %17.4, %10.9 of the female health workers in the
study were nurses, doctors, midwives, respectively and %68.4 of them
was married. It was determined that %50.2 of female health workers
had never had a gynecologic examination, and %70.4 of female health
workers had never been screened with the Pap smear test. The difference
between having a gynecologic examination and being screened
with the Pap smear test (Form I) in female health workers according to
age, marital status, education status, and occupation was found signficant
statistically (p<0.05). The difference between total points that
female health workers got from Cervical Cancer Risk Factors, Pap
smear and HPV Information Form (Form II) according to education
status, occupation, and the department they work was found signficant
statistically (p<0.05). As a result of the scale which is performed so
as to determine attitudes of female health workers towards early diagnosis
of cervical cancer (Form III), the difference between total points
that female health workers got from attitude scale towards early diagnosis
of cervical cancer and female health workers’ age, education status,
having a gynecologic examination and being screened with the
Pap smear test, getting and providing information about cervical cancer
was found signficant statistically (p<0.05).
Discussion: Cervical cancer knowledge and attitudes regarding
female health workers is not a desirable level.
