Knowledge, attitude and practice towards cervical cancer screening among women living with human immunodeficiency virus: Implication for prevention strategy uptake

AIM: To explore the knowledge, attitude and practices of cervical cancer screening among HIV‐infected women in public health facilities in Lusaka, Zambia. DESIGN: Cross‐sectional study. METHODS: The study was conducted from 1st January 2020 to 28th February 2020. We used a structured questionnaire f...

description AIM: To explore the knowledge, attitude and practices of cervical cancer screening among HIV‐infected women in public health facilities in Lusaka, Zambia. DESIGN: Cross‐sectional study. METHODS: The study was conducted from 1st January 2020 to 28th February 2020. We used a structured questionnaire for data collection. The Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to analyse relationships among latent variables (knowledge, attitude and practice). RESULTS: The overall knowledge, attitude, and practice scores of cervical cancer screening among women living with HIV were 6.86/11 (62.4%), 6.41/7 (91.6%) and 2.92/8 (36.5%), respectively. Overall, knowledge was positively and significantly associated with attitude (r = .53, p < .001) and practice (r = .38, p < 0.001). Additionally, attitude and practice were significantly associated (r = 0.29, p < .001). Our findings support the reinforcement of current public health interventional programmes to improve the knowledge about cervical cancer and screening uptake.
