The impact of the introduction of a colposcopy service in a rural sub-district on the uptake of colposcopyBlanckenberg, Natasha 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MMed) -- Stellenbosch University, 2010. / Bibliography / Objectives: To describe the establishment of a colposcopy service in a district hospital in a rural sub-district and to assess its impact on the uptake of colposcopy.
Design: A retrospective double group cohort study using a laboratory database of cervical cytology results, clinical records and colposcopy clinic registers.
Setting: The Overstrand sub-district in the Western Cape: 80 000 people served by 7 clinics and a district hospital in Hermanus, 120 km from its referral hospitals in Cape Town and Worcester. A colposcopy service was established at Hermanus Hospital in 2008.
Subjects: All women in the Overstrand sub-district who required colposcopy on the basis of cervical smears done in 2007 and 2009.
Outcome measures: The number of women booked for colposcopy at distant referral hospitals in 2007 and at the district hospital is 2009, the proportion of those women who attended colposcopy, the time from cervical smear to colposcopy, comparison between the two years.
Results: The uptake of colposcopy booked for distant referral hospitals was 67% in 2007. The uptake improved by 18% to 79% for the local district hospital colposcopy service in 2009 (p=0.06). When analysed excluding patients from an area with no transport to the district hospital, the improvement was more marked at 22% (p=0.02). The delay from cervical smear to colposcopy improved significantly from 170 to 141 days (p=0.02).
Conclusion: The establishment of a colposcopy service in a rural sub-district increased the uptake of colposcopy and decreased the delay from cervical smear to colposcopy. This district hospital colposcopy service removed 202 booked patients in one year from the colposcopy load of its referral hospitals.

Previous issue date: 2015-02-27 / O câncer constitui uma preocupação crescente da população, já que vem ganhando uma dimensão maior e convertendo-se em um evidente problema de saúde pública mundial. A Política Nacional de Controle do Câncer tem o intuito de reduzir a incidência e a mortalidade do câncer através da conscientização dos fatores de risco e medidas para a detecção precoce dos cânceres passíveis de rastreamento, com acesso a um tratamento equitativo e de qualidade. Diante da importância da realização de pesquisas nessa área o presente estudo teve como objetivos analisar a realização de exames preventivos das neoplasias do colo do útero e de mama nas funcionárias Técnico-Administrativas em Educação (TAE) de uma Universidade Pública e seus fatores associados. Para isso foi realizado um estudo epidemiológico de delineamento transversal com 399 TAEs. Como instrumento de coleta de dados utilizou-se um questionário autopreenchível com questões relacionadas à realização de exames preventivos do câncer de colo de útero e de mama e aos fatores sócio demográficos, condições de saúde e hábitos de vida. Os dados foram processados através dos programas estatísticos Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) e Stata. Para o desfecho “não realização de Papanicolaou” as variáveis faixa etária 60-69 anos (RP 4,17 IC 95% 2,47-7,04), não ter ficado impedida de realizar atividades habituais por problemas de saúde nas duas últimas semanas (RP 2,22 IC 95% 1,04-4,75) e não estar em dia com a realização da mamografia (RP 5,00 IC 95% 2,65-9,41) aumentaram a probabilidade de não estar em dia ou não realizar o exame preventivo. Com relação à “não realização do exame clínico das mamas” as variáveis consumo adequado de verduras (RP 0,92 IC 95% 0,86-0,99), possuir um ou mais parentes com quem possa se falar sobre quase tudo (rede social) (RP 0,85 IC 95% 0,76-0,95) e possuir horário de trabalho irregular (RP 0,83 IC 95% 0,75-0,91) diminuíram a probabilidade de não realizar tal exame. O fato de não realizar ou não estar em dia com a mamografia aumentou a probabilidade de não fazer o exame clínico das mamas (RP 1,22 IC 95% 1,14-1,30). Já quanto à “não realização de mamografia” o fato de não realizar ou não estar em dia com os exames Papanicolaou (RP 3,07 IC 95% 1,86- 5,08) e exame clínico das mamas (RP 4,99 IC 95% 2,61-9,53) aumentaram a probabilidade de também não realizar o exame de mamografia. Destaca-se assim a importância da prática e incentivo de ações de
prevenção do câncer na população de mulheres trabalhadoras, visando a uma melhor condição de saúde e qualidade de vida das mesmas. / Cancer is a growing concern of the population, as has been gaining increasing in size and becoming an obvious problem of global public health. The National Cancer Control Policy aims to reduce the incidence and mortality of cancer by raising awareness of risk factors and measures for the early detection of cancers amenable to screening with access to fair treatment and quality. Given the importance of conducting research in this area this study aimed to analyze the preventive examinations of cancer of the cervix and breast cancer in employees Technical and Administrative Education (TAE) of a public university and its associated factors. To this was accomplished an epidemiological cross-sectional study with 399 TAE’s. As data collection instrument used a self-administered questionnaire with questions related to preventive examinations of cervical and breast cancer and sociodemographic factors, health and lifestyle habits. Data were analyzed using the statistical software Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Stata. For the outcome not for Papanicolaou the variables age group 60-69 years (PR 4.17 95% CI 2.47 to 7.04), have not been prevented from performing daily activities due to health problems in the last two weeks (PR 2.22 95% CI 1.04 to 4.75) and not be up to date with mammography (PR 5.00 95% CI 2.65 to 9.41) increased the likelihood of not being up to date or not perform the screening. Regarding the non-completion of the clinical examination of the variables adequate intake of vegetables breasts (PR 0.92 95% CI from 0.86 to 0.99), have one or more relatives with whom you can talk about almost anything (social network) (PR 0.85 95% CI 0.76 to 0.95) and have irregular working hours (PR 0.83 95% CI 0.75 to 0.91) decreased the probability of not conduct such an examination. Failure to perform or not keep up with mammography increased the probability of not doing clinical breast exam (PR 1.22 95% CI 1.14 to 1.30). As for the non-completion of mammography the failure to perform or not keep up with the Papanicolaou (PR 3.07 95% CI 5.08 1, 86) and clinical breast exam (PR 4.99 95% CI 2.61 to 9.53) increased the likelihood of also not perform the examination mammography. Stands out as well the importance of practice and encouragement cancer prevention actions in the population of working women in order to better health condition and quality of life for them.

研究台灣人類乳突病毒疫苗施打政策: 評估實施策略 / A Study of Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Policy in Taiwan: Focusing on the Evaluation of Implementation Strategies鄭曄, Cheng, Yeh Unknown Date (has links)
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer that women suffer from worldwide. Every year more than 270,000 women die from cervical cancer, and it is one of the top ten cancer that Taiwanese women suffer from. Differ from other kinds of cancer, cervical cancer can be effectively prevented by vaccination, since most cervical cancers are caused by HPV(Human Papillomavirus) infection. HPV infection is most common in people in their late teens and early 20s, and the HPV vaccine targets the HPV types that most commonly cause cervical cancer and can cause some other cancers. It also protects against the HPV types that cause most genital warts. The HPV vaccine is highly effective in preventing the targeted HPV types, as well as the most common health problems caused by them.
Though HPV vaccination is included in the national immunization program in some countries, the vaccines are not provided to every female at no cost in Taiwan. While some cities and counties provides HPV vaccine for every female or a certain group of female gratuitously, female citizens of other cities and counties would have to pay approximately $300-360 USD for vaccination. This inconsistent policy among Taiwan has been questioned by local congressmen and citizens.
To re-examine the HPV vaccine policy and implementation procedure among each local government in Taiwan, the Health Promotion Administration, Ministry of Health and Welfare (HPA) as well as ten local governments with different HPV vaccination policies were interviewed and evaluated. The research concludes that with no united HPV vaccination policy, the goals of the policy among the local governments is different, some even undefined, the implementation levels of each local government is uneven, and misleading communication between the central and the local governments exist. A united policy with specific goal, implementation guidelines, report system, two-way communication system should and would make the vaccination policy more ample, and equal.

Be smart against cancer! A school-based program covering cancer-related risk behaviorStölzel, Friederike, Seidel, Nadja, Uhmann, Stefan, Baumann, Michael, Berth, Hendrik, Hoyer, Jürgen, Ehninger, Gerhard 15 July 2014 (has links)
Background: Several studies suggest that most school-age children are poorly informed about cancer risk factors. This study examines the effectiveness of the ‘Be smart against cancer’ (BSAC) program in promoting cancer awareness and intentions to engage in health-promoting behavior. Methods: 235 seventh-grade students were randomized to either the intervention (N = 152) or the wait-control group (N = 83). The intervention included the modules: “What is cancer?,” “Sun protection,” “Non smoking,” and “Physical activity, Healthy nutrition, and Limited alcohol consumption.” Outcomes measured at baseline and at the end of the one week BSAC program included knowledge of cancer and its behavioral risk factors, health-promoting intentions, and reported risk behavior. Results: BSAC was effective in increasing knowledge about cancer and risk factors for cancer (p < .001), as well as in increasing intentions to engage in health-promoting behavior (p < .001), independent of a student’s risk profile. Knowledge did not serve as a mediator for intention building. Conclusions: The BSAC is an effective school-based program for raising awareness of cancer, associated risk factors and intentions to engage in cancer-preventive behavior. The results indicate that the effectiveness of BSAC is independent of a student’s risk profile. Therefore, it holds considerable promise as a broadly applicable program to raise cancer awareness and promote healthy behavior intentions.

Centrum prevence, Masarykův onkologický ústav v Brně / Centre for Prevention, Masaryk Oncology Institute in BrnoBuzová, Magdaléna Unknown Date (has links)
The objective of the diploma thesis is the new building of Cancer Prevention Centre, first of its kind in the Czech Republic. The site is located on steep terrain of the south hillside of Žlutý kopec in Brno, which is a part of Masaryk Oncological Hospital complex. The aim of the Cancer Prevention Centre is to attract the citizens’ attention and invite them to undergo a preventive medical check-up with the potential to save hundreds of lives every year. The project takes this fact in consideration and strives to find ways leading not only towards establishing new relationship between the building and the public, but also towards connecting the city centre and nearby by residential area with the hospital complex. The three volumes of the buildings create a dynamic composition and therefore complete the characteristic development of Masaryk Oncological Centre. The main concept however revolves around the motive of instability, balance and journey which are all linked to tumour diseases.
