Preventive nursing, an interview study on cervical cancer in south-western Uganda

Redemo, Matilda, Radak, Linda January 2015 (has links)
Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att belysa hur sjuksköterskor/barnmorskor upplever möjligheter och svårigheter att arbeta förebyggande med livmoderhalscancer i Uganda.Bakgrund: Livmoderhalscancer är den andra vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor världen över. Livmoderhalscancer är mest förekommande i Afrika söder om Sahara. I Uganda finns det få sjuksköterskor och barnmorskor som kan utföra hälsosamtal och screening av cellförändringar. Med rätt förebyggande insatser kan incidensen av livmoderhalscancer minska.Metod: En kvalitativ intervjustudie baserad på åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer. Intervjumaterialet analyserades med hjälp av innehållsanalys.Resultat: Sjuksköterskorna och barnmorskorna upplevde att förebyggande insatser möjliggjordes genom screening, behandlingar och outreaches, hälsosamtal och utbildning av hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal samt finansiering. Svårigheterna med att arbeta förebyggande med livmoderhalscancer var bristande stöd från regeringen, svåråtkomlig omgivning, attityder i samhället och brist på kunskap. Slutsats: Uganda behöver bättre finansiering, mer utbildad personal samt tillgång till vaccin och behandlingar för att förbättra förebyggandet av livmoderhalscancer. Ett nationellt screening-program som infattar hela befolkningen skulle påverka det förebyggande arbetet positivt. / Aim: The aim of this study was to elucidate how nurses/midwives perceive thepossibilities and obstacles to practice preventive nursing regarding cervical cancer in Uganda.Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer form amongst women worldwide. The highest incidence of cervical cancer is found in sub- Saharan Africa. In Uganda there are few nurses and midwives to support cervical cancer screening and health talks. With the right preventive measures the incidence rate could be decreased.Method: A qualitative study design based on eight semi-structured interviews. The data was analysed using content analysis.Results: The perceived possibilities to practise preventive nursing were prevention through screening, outreaches and treatments, prevention through health education and practical training plus financing. Obstacles elucidated during the interviews were lack of support from the government, remote places hard to reach, attitudes in the community and lack of knowledge.Conclusion: In order to enhance the preventive measures regarding cervical cancer, Uganda is in need of better funding, more trained staff, access to vaccine and adequate treatments. It would also be beneficial with a nation wide screening program.

Kvinnors upplevelser av ett avvkande resultat från screening för livmoderhalscancer : en litteraturöversikt / Women's experiences of an abnormal cervical cancer screening result : a literature review

Luhr, Johanna, Mörner, Sofia January 2023 (has links)
Bakgrund  Livmoderhalscancer är en ledande dödsorsak hos kvinnor. Det är en sjukdom som går att förebygga genom vaccination och screening. Screening riktar sig till friska personer och syftar till att upptäcka och behandla tidiga förstadier av cancer. Ett avvikande resultat från screening för livmoderhalscancer kan påverka en kvinnas upplevelse av sin hälsa och orsaka lidande. Genom att belysa kvinnors upplevelser av ett avvikande resultat från screening för livmoderhalscancer kan sjuksköterskan få mer kunskap för att kunna främja hälsa och lindra lidande. Syfte Syftet var att belysa kvinnors upplevelser av ett avvikande resultat från screening för livmoderhalscancer. Metod En icke-systematisk litteraturöversikt med 16 vetenskapliga kvantitativa och kvalitativa originalartiklar användes som metod för denna litteraturstudie. Databaserna PubMed och CINAHL användes för sökningen och artiklarna kvalitetsgranskades enligt Sophiahemmet Högskolas bedömningsunderlag. Artiklarna analyserades sedan enligt metoden integrerad analys. Resultat Utifrån den integrerade dataanalysen identifierades två kategorier: psykiskt lidande vid avvikande resultat och behov av information vid avvikande resultat. Slutsats Litteraturstudiens två huvudfynd var att ett avvikande resultat från screening för livmoderhalscancer orsakar psykiskt lidande hos de kvinnor som screenas och att kvinnorna har ett behov av mer information från främst vårdpersonal. Sjuksköterskan bär ett ansvar i sitt omvårdnadsarbete att främja hälsa och lindra lidande och att säkerställa att patienten får rätt, tillräcklig och lämplig information under hela vårdprocessen. Resultatet av denna studie kan hjälpa sjuksköterskan få mer kunskap för att främja hälsa och för att minska onödigt lidande. / Background Cervical cancer is a leading cause of death for women. It is a disease that can be prevented through vaccination and screening. Screening is aimed at healthy individuals and aims to detect and treat early pre-stages of cancer. An abnormal result from screening can affect a woman’s experience of her health and cause suffering. By highlighting women’s experiences of an abnormal result from cervical cancer screening, nurses can gain knowledge to promote health and alleviate suffering. Aim The aim was to highlight women’s experiences of an abnormal result from screening for cervical cancer. Method This non-systematic literature review was based on 16 original research articles. PubMed and CINAHL were used to search for the articles. The articles were quality reviewed according to Sophiahemmet University’s assessment manual. The method for analysis was an integrated analysis. Results Based on the integrated data analysis, two categories were identified: psychological distress when notified with abnormal results and need for information when notified with abnormal results. Conclusions The two main findings of this literature study were that an abnormal result from screening for cervical cancer causes psychological distress and that there is a need for more information, mainly from healthcare professionals. Nurses bear a responsibility to promote health and alleviate suffering and to ensure that the patient receives correct, sufficient and appropriate information throughout the nursing process. The results of this study can help nurses gain more knowledge to promote health and to reduce unnecessary suffering.

Computational detection of human papilloma virus in the cervical cancer genome

Omoghene, Hope January 2023 (has links)
Global research and development have witnessed new horizons in technological advancements, especially in the use of new-generation bioinformatic tools to solve human needs. Cervical cancer, caused by a sexually transmitted virus like human papillomavirus (HPV), is one of the most common cancers threatening women's health. The main aim of the study is to evaluate existing Next-generation pipelines for detection of HPV in cervical cancer. The method includes data retrieval, which involves careful selection and downloading of 30 metagenomic data (in FASTA-Q format) from the Human Microbiome Project database. The implementation phase of the study involved setting up and configuring the virus detection tools (HPViewer, VirusSeq and VirusFinder 2.0). All the tools were run on default settings to analyze the metagenome samples using the instructions provided by their authors. The result showed that the tools detected HPV. The HPViewer demonstrated a higher level of HPV detection, followed by VirusSeq and then VirusFinder 2. The HPViewer had the shortest run time, completing an analysis in 24.1 seconds, followed by VirusFinder 2 in 208 seconds and VirusSeq took 4200 seconds (1 hour, 10 minutes to run). HPViewer demonstrated an outstanding sensitivity of 100%, VirusFinder 2 (45.5 %) and VirusSeq (63.6%). In conclusion, the present study underscored the trade-offs between speed, accuracy, and resource consumption between bioinformatics tools for HPV detection. Each of the tools exhibited unique strengths and limitations; however, they provided valuable options for HPV detection.
