| dc.description.abstract | Screening for cervical cancer at least once between the ages of 30-40 lowers the risk of cervical cancer in women by 25—36%. In Ethiopia. over 27 million women are at risk for cervical cancer yet cervical screening occurs in less than % of women. Even when cervical (CC) is in LMIC's free of charge various studies have shown that women eligible for screening have an even lower participation rote. Understanding of the knowledge and health benefits that influence CC screening and participation behaviors among women are essential in order to increase demand screening for CC. Several theoretical perspectives could be used to explore the determinants of health care professional behavior to this end. Several behaviors and beliefs may have a significant impact on the females decision to take perspective actions against cervical cancer. it is well documented that intention to cervical cancer screening predicts actual attendance how ever intention is volatile with time time. we used the Trans-Theoretical Model (TTM) to determine the stages of change and the intentions of cervical cancer screening. Healthcare providers can serve as role models to facilitate a supportive environment that encourages women to utilize screening fat cervical cancer. An understudying of factors that predict cervical cancer behaviors may contribute to the development of more effective screening. Studies using the Health Belief Model (HBM) to explain women's screening behaviors have been inconsistent and psychometric properties of modified health belief model tool was validated among population under study. In addition. in Ethiopia studies evaluating the predictability of the HBM towards intention to screen for cervical cancer very limited. | |
