Abstract

 Background & aim: High Health Literacy enhances informed decision-making for Cervical Cancer screening (i. e., a Pap smear) among Women. The present study aimed to determine the Health Literacy related to Cervical Cancer in Women referring to health centers of Yazd, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on a total of 800 Women in 2018. The study participants were selected using systematic random sampling. To collect data a valid and reliable Health Literacy questionnaire was used to address different aspects of Cervical Cancer Health Literacy (i. e., accessibility, reading, understanding, appraising, and decision-making). Data analysis was carried out using Pearson's correlation, independent samples t-test, and multivariate analysis of variance with SPSS software (version 20). Results: The mean age of the participants was 35. 85± 7. 99 years. The mean score of the overall Health Literacy was reported as 67. 46± 15. 59 and the mean score of the subscales of accessibility, reading, understanding, appraising, and decision-making were 13. 34± 4. 25, 13. 29± 3. 06, 11. 25± 3. 56, 12. 72± 13, and 16. 84± 6. 16, respectively. Also, there was a significant relationship between Health Literacy with age, employment status, income level, and daily consumption of fruits and vegetables (P<0. 001). Conclusion: The present study indicated that Women's level of Health Literacy in terms of Cervical Cancer was low in Yazd; therefore, health care providers should pay special attention to Women using modern educational methods as well as appropriate educational technologies in order to enhance Women's Health Literacy regarding Cervical Cancer.
