Abstract

Uganda has the highest incidence of cervical cancer, with over 65% of those diagnosed dying from
it. This research report aims to educate women on cervical cancer prevention, diagnosis, and
management protocols to improve their health status at HRRH. A descriptive cross-sectional
study was conducted on 210 women aged 26-30 years, with the majority having good attitudes,
knowledge, and earning ≥200000. Health education was received by 30.0% of participants, and
the attitude of healthcare providers was good. The distance to the health center was short 1-2km,
and the majority had partner support (16.3%). Peer influence was also significant, with 30.2% of
participants having peer influence to do cervical cancer screening. The study found that
knowledge, attitude, and partner support significantly contribute to the uptake of cervical cancer
screening
