| dc.description | Introduction: Cervical cancer is preventable through cervical cytology, but it remains a public health challenge. At the León Becerra de Milagro Hospital, an investigation was carried out to evaluate the level of knowledge and attitudes towards the Pap test in 80 pregnant women. It was found that, although the majority had heard about the exam, a significant percentage was unaware of its purpose and recommended frequency. Objective: The objective was to determine the level of knowledge and attitude towards the Pap test in pregnant women treated in the gynecological emergency area of the León Becerra de Milagro Hospital in the months of November 2023 to April 2024. Materials and Methods: It was carried out carried out an observational, descriptive and transversal research. Surveys were applied to 80 pregnant women at the León Becerra de Milagro Hospital. Demographic data and responses related to knowledge and attitudes toward Pap testing were analyzed. Results: It was found that 56% of pregnant women had heard about the Pap test, but 36% did not know its purpose and 40% did not know the recommended frequency. Regarding attitudes, 53% believed that the test should be avoided during pregnancy and 45% were afraid of a negative diagnosis. Conclusions: There remains a significant lack of knowledge about the Pap test among pregnant women, which could affect their participation in the prevention of cervical cancer. Furthermore, attitudes and knowledge influence decision-making to ensure better well-being. It is necessary to implement adapted educational campaigns and improve access to the exam to reduce barriers and promote greater participation in its prevention. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | Introducción: El cáncer cervicouterino es prevenible mediante la citología cervical, pero sigue siendo un desafío de salud pública. En el Hospital León Becerra de Milagro se realizó una investigación para evaluar el nivel de conocimiento y actitudes hacia el examen de Papanicolaou en 80 gestantes. Se encontró que, aunque la mayoría había escuchado sobre el examen, un porcentaje significativo desconocía su propósito y la periodicidad recomendada. Objetivo: El objetivo fue determinar el nivel de conocimiento y actitud hacia el examen de Papanicolaou en gestantes atendidas en el área de emergencia ginecológica del Hospital León Becerra de Milagro en los meses de noviembre de 2023 a abril de 2024.Materiales y Métodos: Se llevó a cabo una investigación observacional, descriptiva y transversal. Se aplicaron encuestas a 80 gestantes en el Hospital León Becerra de Milagro. Se analizaron los datos demográficos y las respuestas relacionadas con el conocimiento y las actitudes hacia el examen de Papanicolaou. Resultados: Se encontró que el 56% de las gestantes habían escuchado sobre el examen de Papanicolaou, pero el 36% no conocía su propósito y el 40% desconocía la periodicidad recomendada. Respecto a las actitudes, el 53% creía que el examen debería evitarse durante el embarazo y el 45% tenía miedo al diagnóstico negativo. Conclusiones: Persiste un desconocimiento significativo sobre el examen de Papanicolaou entre las gestantes, lo que podría afectar su participación en la prevención del cáncer cervicouterino. Además, las actitudes y conocimientos influyen en la toma de decisiones para garantizar un mejor bienestar. Es necesario implementar campañas educativas adaptadas y mejorar el acceso al examen para reducir las barreras y promover una mayor participación en su prevención. | es_ES |
