Factors Affecting the Acceptance of CA Cervix Examination Services Among Chumphon Provincial Officers

Abstract

This survey research was aimed at studying factors affecting the acceptance of CA Cervix examination services among 419 female Chumphon provincial officers aged 35-59 years who worked in Chumphon province. Factors included in the study were CA cervix examination practice, demographic characteristics, predisposing factors, enabling factors, and reinforcing factors. Comparison between those who had received CA cervix examination services and those who never had with respect to these factors had been carried out. Results showed that demographic characteristics- marital status, education levels, and family monthly income-differed significantly between these two groups (p = 0.000, p = 0.009, p = 0.002, respectively).
