<em>Cervical cancer is the number two cause of death of women in the world. Cervical cancer that affects 70% of women is caused by HPV virus types 16 and 18. So that prevention of cervical cancer can be done by administering HPV immunization. The success rate in giving HPV immunization can reach 100% if given as much as 2 times in children aged 9-15 years and has never been infected with HPV. This study aims to determine the perception of mothers about HPV immunization in children for the prevention of cervical cancer early in the District of East Medan. The study used a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach. Informants in the study were 33 mothers. Data collection in this study uses interview techniques. The results showed that mothers had positive perceptions about HPV immunization, where after interviews were obtained 30 (90.9%) mothers had positive perceptions about HPV immunization and 3 (9.09%) mothers had negative perceptions about HPV immunization in children for prevention of cervical cancer. Conclusion The mother has a positive perception where there are four themes that influence the mother's perception of HPV immunization in children for cervical cancer prevention, namely information, government participation, content and costs of HPV immunization</em>

Every Local Sanitary Unit (USL) of the Tuscan Region was contacted to define screening variables, such as adequacy of the staff involved in prevention, smear technique, data collection and evaluation, laboratory quality control, and modalities of invitations to screening. The reported data show that 21 of 40 USL, but only 9 of 28 USL outside the Florence province (where a common screening program is performed), are performing active invitations to screening. The most serious staff inadequacies concern data evaluation and personnel performing the test. Sixteen of 28 USL outside Florence suggest an annual rescreening, which causes overcrowding of services and a poor availability for the unscreened population. Moreover, the poor quality of data collection makes it impossible to evaluate the benefit offered by the screening programs in the 28 USL outside Florence. Cytologic quality control is often lacking, and the smear technique is inadequate in 10 of 28 USL outside Florence. The lack in the USL of epidemiologic competence and of cost/benefit considerations and the need for political decisions about cancer prevention programs are stressed.

ABSTRAKKanker serviks adalah penyebab kematian tertinggi keempat pada wanita di dunia. Tingginya angka kesakitan dan kematian wanita akibat kanker serviks di Indonesia, juga menunjukkan rendahnya angka cakupan pemeriksaan papsmear dan imunisasi HPV di Indonesia. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan metode promosi kesehatan untuk mendorong wanita untuk aktif dalam melakukan pencegahan kanker serviks. Kegiatan ini merupakan salah satu bentuk pengabdian masyarakat yang dilakukan dengan cara penyuluhan melalui metode ceramah dan diskusi dengan aplikasi zoom dan whatsapp. Peserta yang mendaftar dalam kegiatan ini sejunlah 41 orang dengan rentang usia 20-35 tahun. Peserta berasal dari berbagai daerah antara lain, Jakarta, Lampung, Surabaya, Malang, Palu dan Banjarmasin. Materi yang telah disampaikan menyatakan bahwa pencegahan kanker serviks dapat dilakukan sedini mungkin. Dibandingkan dengan metode penyuluhan yang dilakukan secara langsung, pemanfaatan media sosial terbukti efektif dalam mencapai jangkauan keluasan sasaran. Kata kunci: kanker serviks, pencegahan, deteksi dini, HPV  ABSTRACTCervical cancer is the fourth main cause of death in women in the world and the main cause of death for women in developing countries. The high morbidity and mortality rates for women due to cervical cancer in Indonesia also shows the low coverage rates for Pap smear test and HPV immunization in Indonesia. Therefore a health promotion is needed to encourage women to be active in preventing cervical cancer. This event is a form of counseling through lectures and discussions with zoom and WhatsApp applications. The number of participants who participated in this activity was 41 people in age 20-35 years from various provinces including Jakarta, Lampung, Surabaya, Malang, and Banjarmasin. The subject that has been presented states that cervical cancer prevention can be done as early as possible. Compared to conventional health promotion methods, the use of social media has proven to be effective in reaching a broad target. Keywords: cervical cancer, prevention, early detection, HPV

Abstract Introduction Cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of death in women globally and remains the foremost cause of death in African women in spite of campaigns to increase education and prevention of the disease. The goal of participatory action research or community based participatory research is to engage communities in the research process in order to increase disease awareness and decrease disease mortality as a result of health disparities. The primary objective of this study is to summarize methods of community engagement in research on the prevention and control of cervical cancer in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). MethodsWe will search through the following electronic databases for potential studies: PubMed, Embase, African Journals Online (AJOL), and African Index Medicus-WHO from inception until the date the last search will be conducted. Articles included will be restricted to those published in English and pertaining to research conducted in SSA. Articles generated from the search will be managed in our database. A narrative synthesis will be performed on the final list of included articles. DiscussionThis scoping review will provide evidence and perspectives on how research studies have engaged community members to bolster the cervical cancer prevention and control efforts. Findings of this review will contribute to the literature by identifying the benefits of community engagement in cervical cancer prevention in SSA and advance the science of cervical cancer prevention in the region and globally.

The global incidence of cancer is rising, and low-income and lower-middle-income countries have the worst figures. However, knowledge of cervical cancer prevention and cervical cancer screening practices remains poor in these regions. This study assessed the concept of health literacy as a potential determinant of knowledge of cervical cancer prevention and screening practices among female undergraduates. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 385 female undergraduates at a university in southwest Nigeria. A validated questionnaire composed of subscales on nine components of health literacy, knowledge of cervical cancer prevention, and cervical cancer screening practices was used for data collection. The majority of the respondents obtained a high score on most of the components of health literacy and 66% had good knowledge of cervical cancer prevention. Only 11% demonstrated good practices of Pap smear testing. Of all the components of health literacy, “feeling understood and supported by healthcare providers” (OR = 0.075; 95% CI [0.036–0.115]; p = 0.015) and “understanding health information well enough to know what to do” (OR = 0.055; 95% CI [0.006–0.104]; p = 0.029) were significantly associated with knowledge of cervical cancer prevention. Out of the major challenges related to cervical cancer screening among undergraduates, the feeling of being at risk (OR = 4.71; p < 0.05) and uncomfortable experiences from past screening (OR = 0.12; p < 0.05) were significantly associated with going for cervical cancer screening. The study concluded that levels of health literacy influenced knowledge of cervical cancer prevention among female undergraduates, but it did not affect their engagement in cervical cancer screening practices.
