Abstract

The main purpose of this work is to identify the knowledge, the attitude and the prevention practices of uterine cervix cancer held by women that are agricultural workers. Recognize their sociodemographic profile and consequential difficulties to take cytopathological exams are also objectives of this work, as well as detect risk factors that may advance uterine cervix cancer. This is an observational study, cross-sectional, conducted with 50 farm women workers associated in the rural workers union of the city of Vitória de Santo Antão, Pernambuco. Among women interviewed, with respect to uterine cervix cancer prevention, 32 (64%) revealed improper understanding; 26 (52%) showed appropriate attitude and 39 (78%) presented proper practice. The workers need to know better about cytopathological examination and its significance to adhere to a constant practice of it. Therefore, is of great significance to define strategies to supply the deficiencies encountered, in a way these women may get more expertise and commitment with the examination.
