Opis
Izvleček:Premalignant and malignant lesions represent cellular alterations that can progress to cervical cancer if not detected and treated promptly. These alterations are influenced by socioeconomic factors, parity, and early initiation of sexual activity. The objective of this research was to evaluate the most predominant cytological alterations using the conventional technique. This exploratory, observational, non-experimental, crosssectional, and retrospective study employed a non-probabilistic sampling method. For the analysis, female students from the Faculty of Health Sciences at the National University of Chimborazo were selected for the period from November 2023 to March 2024. The female population consisted of 1,939 individuals; based on the finite population calculation, the sample size was 129. A non-probabilistic convenience sampling method was used with inclusion and exclusion criteria, ultimately including 124 participants. Data were transcribed and analyzed using SPSS v25 software, with results presented through frequencies and percentages. A significant association was found between age, parity, initiation of sexual activity, type of delivery, number of children, and the date of the last Pap smear in relation to the type of cervical lesion. The results showed that the majority of students presented with normal cytology at 75.8%, while 13.7% presented ASC-US, 8.1% presented L-SIL, 1.6% presented H-SIL, and 0.8% presented ASC-H. The conventional cytology technique was used, allowing classification of lesions by abnormality grade according to the Bethesda system.
