This study aims to study the effect of a motivation enhancing program for prevention on perceptions of cervical cancer prevention among women undergoing colposcopy. The samples were women with abnormal cervical cancer screening aged 30 to 60 years who came for a colposcopy exam at the Obstetrics and Gynecology room at Phrae Hospital, from September to December 2023. A total of 80 participants were randomly selected on specified criteria and divided into two groups. The 40 participants of the experimental group received a motivation enhancing program for prevention that included a video about cervical cancer, a colposcopy procedure, and brochures on colposcopy and self-care practices. A 40 participants of the control group received standard nursing care. Data were collected using a personal information questionnaire and a cervical cancer prevention awareness questionnaire. The mean scores were compared using Wilcoxon Signed Rank test and Mann Whitney U test.
The study found that after receiving the program, the experimental group had a statistically significant increase in the mean of cervical cancer prevention perception compared to before the experiment (p <.05). The experimental group also had significantly higher scores in the awareness of the severity of cervical cancer and the risk of developing cervical cancer compared to the control group (p < .05). However, both groups had similar scores in confidence in the outcomes of self-care practices for colposcopy and self-efficacy in performing preventive measures (p > .05). Therefore, both groups consented to undergo colposcopy in all cases (100%).
Based on the results of this study, it is suggested that nurses can use this motivational program, which includes video and brochure materials, to promote awareness of the severity of cervical cancer, the risk of developing the disease, and preventive practices among women with abnormal cervical cancer screening results. This will help encourage women to accept colposcopy for further diagnosis of cancerous lesions.
