Conocimientos de adolescentes y adultos sobre el cáncer de cuello uterino: una revisión sistemática de alcance

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women in Latin America and the Caribbean. The present systematic review was proposed with the aim of identifying knowledge in adolescents and adults about Cervical Cancer (CCU). This review has been constructed based on the PRISMA guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) adapted for scoping reviews and the JBI manuals (Joanna Briggs Institute). The research was carried out in: Science Direct, PubMed, Dialnet, ALICIA. Ten studies were identified that included the variable knowledge in their dimensions; regarding the level of knowledge about CCU, seven studies investigated this variable, of which one with 75% presented a low level, on the other hand, three with percentages of 52%, 57% and 60% a medium level and the other three with 82%, 81% and 68.8% a high level, another variable was about knowledge of risk factors, which in one study predominated having multiple sexual partners, then infections by human immunodeficiency virus, sexually transmitted infections and smoking habits, while in another study they were untreated benign cervical entities and HPV infection. Another variable is knowledge about detection and prevention, in which in one study the participants stated that it was vaginal cytology, while in another few had basic information. In conclusion, the analysis of the reviewed studies reveals significant variability in the level of knowledge about cervical cancer. This suggests that, although there is a significant group that has a good understanding of the disease, there is still a deficiency in relation to risk factors, detection and prevention
