Abstract

Educational strategies employed by nurses for the prevention and reduction of morbidity-mortality rates of cervical cancer in Brazil are investigated. Educational strategies which are efficacious to prevent cervical cancer are retrieved from the literature. Current analysis demonstrated the important that health education has within the oncological context of the female. Health promotion activities are highly relevant since they involve women within the health-disease context and focus self-care. Collective educational strategies by nurses for the prevention of cervical cancer are diversified and required combination since there is no single and specific methodology. They should be adapted according to the local and regional characteristics of the target population.
