Abstract

Cervical Cancer Is One Of The Most Known And Common Malignancies In Women, Though The Disease Is A Preventable Disease, It Is Ranked Next To Breast Cancer. This Is Pinned On Delayed Detection Due To Lack Of Uptake Of Screening. The Objective Of The Study Was To Assess The Level Of Knowledge, Perceived-Risk And Screening-Uptake For Cervical Cancer Among Women In A Christian Religious Institution In Ibadan, Nigeria. A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Design With A Purposive Sampling Technique And A Simple Sampling Method Was Used To Randomise 270 Volunteered Members Into The Study. Analysis Was With SPSS Version 20, Using Descriptive And Inferential Statistics. Knowledge Mean Score Was 14.04 ± 5.18 Measured On A 20-Point Reference Scale, 55 (20.4%) Had Poor Knowledge, 92 (34.1%) Had Average Knowledge, And 123 (45.6%) Had Good Knowledge. With A Moderate Correlation Between Knowledge And Screening-Uptake (P=0.01). Perceived-Risk Mean Score Was 27.33 ± 7.37 Measured On A 42-Point Reference Scale, 38 (14.1%) Had Poor Level Of Perceived-Risk, 132 (48.9%) Had Average Level Of Perceived-Risk And 100 (37.0%) Had Good Level Of Perceived-Risk. Furthermore, A Moderate Correlation Was Observed Between Perceived-Risk And Screening-Uptake (P = 0.01). Only 39.3% Of The Respondents Had Been Screened Before For Cervical Cancer, While 12.2% Are Currently On A Screening Schedule For Cervical Cancer. It Is Recommended That More Effort Be Laid On Health Education Programs By Religious Bodies And Other Associations To Improve The Knowledge And Perceived-Risk Of Women, Thus Influencing Cervical Cancer Screening.
