Abstract:

The objective of this study was to analyse factors associated with non-compliance with Pap smears exam among quilombola women living in Vitória da Conquista, Bahia. We used cross-sectional study of population-based, with included women aged 18-64 years old and were conducted: descriptive analysis, univariate and multivariate analysis using multinomial logistic model. Women who have never performed or performed Pap smears for over three years were compared separately with those who were examined for less than three years. From 348 women included in the analysis, 27,3%, reported ever having a Pap smear exam. They were independently associated with never having taken the exam: aged 18 to 29 years and 50 to 59 years, not education, not having a partner, seek care in health-related units/establishments other than their place of residence and perform clinical breast examination for three or more years or never have done it. The findings indicate a need for reflection in order to combat factors that are associated with not performing Pap smear among quilombola women, thus it‘s important to contemplate actions for the prevention of cervical cancer involving improvement of living conditions and increase health services access.
