Association of Knowledge, Attitude and Demographic Variables with Cervical Pap Smear Practice in Nepal

Abstract

<p>Pap smear coverage in this research at 15.7% in Nepal is far lower than global average and even below the average for developing countries. It was observed that attitude was the only factor significantly associated with pap smear test uptake on multivariate binary logistic regression analysis. Thus, health education programs which are effective not only in increasing knowledge but also in bringing about positive change in attitude of women towards pap smear test should be organized to increase pap smear coverage in Nepal.</p> <p> </p
