Background & aim: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer after breast cancer in women, despite being preventable, a large number of women lose their lives as a result of this disease every year. This study aimed to determine the effect of the educational intervention based on Health Belief Model on performing Pap smear in 20-65 years old women in Yazd.
Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental in 2014. The study population included women who referred to health centers in Yazd, among them, 87 women were selected using randomized cluster sampling and divided into case and control groups. Data collection tool was the questionnaire. Two training sessions were performed by means of lectures and group discussions on overviews of cancer, cervical cancer; the serious consequences of the disease, and Pop Smear; its procedures and benefits. Both groups were evaluated before and two months after intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20 and statistical independent t-test and pairwise t-test.
Results: The results showed that before the intervention, there was no significant difference between the mean score of the model constructs in control and experimental groups. After intervention, the mean scores of perceived susceptibility (p<0.001), perceived intensity (p<0.001) and cues to action (p=0.002) and awareness (p=0.008) showed a significant increase in the experimental group comparing to before intervention, while perceived barriers score (p<0.001) was decreased. Relating to behavior, 63.8 percent (30 persons) performed Pap smear test after intervention while this percentage was 2.8% (1 person) in the control group.
Conclusion: The results of the study showed the efficiency of the health belief model on performing Pap smear test in women in Yazd. Based on this model, designing and implementing educational interventions improve the Pap smear performance in women.
