| Sumario: | Objective: We analyzed the reasons, in the nurses' view, which led the women to undergo cervical cancer prevention in a city of Rio Grande do Norte. Methods: A qualitative study was carried out, together with 11 nurses from the teams of the Family Health Strategy of the city of Assú/RN. The collected material, through open interviews, was submitted to the thematic content analysis proposed by Bardin. The statements produced two categories of analysis: motives that lead to the examination and attitudes / risk situations that contribute to cervical cancer. Results: The search for cervical cancer screening is practiced for several reasons, revealing little knowledge of the women about the objective of the examination. Conclusions: The results indicate that women's lack of knowledge about cervical cancer is a factor that contributes significantly to the increase in cases of cervical cancer. Women seek cervical cancer screening when they have symptoms such as vaginal discharge, vaginal itching, and are awaiting the onset of these and other symptoms for cervical cancer screening. |
