Implementation of second round of HPV-based screening for cervical cancer in programmatic contexts in Argentina
Objectives. To evaluate implementation of the second round of human papillomavirus (HPV)-based cervical screening, introduced in Argentina in 2012–2014 through the Jujuy Demonstration Project for women 30 years and older, and describe the characteristics of women who adhere to the recommended five-year rescreening interval. Methods. A retrospective cohort study was conducted based on the data of two rounds of screening. All women aged 30 years or…
Participatory design of Short Message Service (SMS) text message to promote mammography among women in Santa Fe, Argentina
We describe results of the design process of the content of the SMS messages to promote mammography. We conducted four online focus groups with women aged 50 or more (n=14). We used participatory techniques to debate the advantages and disadvantages of different options for the five structural elements of the SMS message. Our results showed that women argued that the opening line should provide clear information about the topic of the SMS message…
Me sentí enfermar”: Percepciones y comprensión de las mujeres del resultado positivo de un test de virus del papiloma humano en Jujuy, Argentina
With the purpose of analyzing women's perceptions and classifying their modes of understanding a positive human papillomavirus (HPV+) test, we conducted 38 in-depth interviews with women who had received an HPV diagnosis (normal and abnormal Pap smear), screened in Jujuy's public health system in 2016. A typology based on women's understandings of the result was developed: 1) understanding; 2) lack of understanding; a) underestimation; b) overest…
La perspectiva de los agentes sanitarios sobre la incorporación programática de la autotoma del test de VPH
El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la percepción que poseen los agentes sanitarios sobre el ofrecimiento de la autotoma del test de VPH a las mujeres y el grado de acuerdo de los agentes para incorporarla a sus tareas diarias. Para ello, se aplicó una encuesta auto-administrada a 127/191 agentes sanitarios que participaron del Proyecto EMA (Proyecto Evaluación Modalidad Autotoma), llevado a cabo en la provincia de Jujuy (Argentina) entre 20…
Análisis de los motivos del abandono del proceso de seguimiento y tratamiento por parte de mujeres con lesiones precursoras de cáncer de cuello uterino en la provincia de Jujuy: Implicancias para la g…
El adecuado seguimiento y tratamiento de las mujeres con lesiones escamosas intraepiteliales de alto grado (HSIL, por sus siglas en ingles) y carcinoma es un aspecto clave para la reducción de la mortalidad por cáncer de cuello uterino. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la magnitud y los motivos del abandono en el proceso de seguimiento y tratamiento por parte de las mujeres con diagnóstico de HSIL y carcinoma atendidas en el sistema …
Challenges faced by cervical cancer prevention programs in developing countries: A situational analysis of program organization in Argentina
screening in Argentina is mainly opportunistic, characterized by an estimated low coverage, coexisting with over-screening of women with access to health services, and an absence of quality control procedures. Policies for cervical cancer screening in the provinces vary and, most often, deviate from the national recommendation of one Pap smear every 3 years for women 35-64 years of age. Ensuring compliance with national program guidelines is an e…
Social inequality in Pap smear coverage: Identifying under-users of cervical cancer screening in Argentina
In Argentina, the unequal distribution of the burden of cervical cancer is striking: the mortality rate of the province of Jujuy (15/100,000) is almost four times higher than that of the city of Buenos Aires (4/100,000). We aimed to establish the socio-demographic profile of women who were under-users of Pap smear screening, based on an analysis of a representative sample of Argentinean women from the First National Survey on Risk Factors in 2005…
