| description | The health beliefs and practices regarding cervical cancer screening among women in the mountainous and Terai region of Nepal were investigated and examined for the differences. A descriptive cross‐sectional study was conducted with a purposive sample of 216 in mountainous and 294 in Terai. The interview tools were a socio‐demographic scale, a Nepalese Health Belief Model Scale for Cervical Cancer followed by the Screening Test. Chi‐square test, binary logistic regression, Mann–Whitney U, and Kruskal‐Wallis were used to analyze the data. The results showed that the screening rate was low for both regions with a significant difference in the benefit of screening and health motivation. Being older and having a positive family history of cervical cancer were shown to be predictors screening practice. Women from both groups preferred female doctors for screening. Culturally appropriate educational interventions focused on the benefits and obstacles of screening is needed to improve the beliefs of cervical cancer and screening and increase the screening rate. Nurses need to be aware of health beliefs regarding cervical cancer during cervical screening and education. |
