| Abstract |
Background: Cervical cancer is a significant public health issue in Thailand. The number of women who have had cervical cancer screenings has grown over time, but if major obstacles are not removed, it will be challenging to maintain this success.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify the magnitude and factors influencing cervical cancer screening uptake (CCSU) among women (30- 60 years) in Maesot, Tak Province, Thailand.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Maesot, Thailand. A structured questionnaire was used. Descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression were used to determine the magnitude of the cervical cancer screening uptake and associated factors. The association was described with an Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) and 95% Confidence Interval (95% CI) at the statistically significant level of p-value < 0.05.
Results: Of 422 women, the average age was 38.82 ±8.46 years. Nearly one-fourth of the respondents were Thai nationals. Almost 70% of respondents were married, and 80% were employed. About one-third of respondents had a high school level of education. The magnitude of CCSU was 13.27% (95% CI: 10.34-16.86). Factors that were associated with having CCSU included age (≥ 40 years) (AOR=2.15, 95%CI: 1.05-4.40), Christian and others (AOR=2.19,95% CI:1.08-4.44), married between 26 years to 43 years (AOR= 2.93, 95%CI: 1.45-5.93), having good knowledge of cervical cancer (AOR= 4.70, 95%CI: 2.22-9.72), and having good knowledge of cervical cancer screening (AOR= 6.58, 95%CI: 2.82-17.77).
Conclusion: Cervical cancer screening among women in Maesot is lower than national coverage of Thailand. Age, religion, the age of marriage and knowledge of cervical cancer were significantly associated while knowledge of cervical cancer screening could have some association with receiving CCSU. These findings highlighted the development of interventions aimed at including those factors and improving the knowledge of cervical cancer and screening among women in Mae Sot, Tak Province.
