Abstract
Screening for cancer is plays important role to reduce mortality and morbidity by early detection and treatment. However, despite availability of various screening method for cervical cancer, women are not showing interest to participate in screening in regions where programme are available.
Objective
To assess the effectiveness of sensitization program on level of acceptance among group I and group II women at the selected Villages of Puducherry.
Methodology
Quantitative research approach and Quasi experimental design was adopted in this study. Simple random sampling Technique was adopted to select the sample for the study. Total 20 Samples - 10 for experimental group and 10 for control group were selected.
Result and Findings: Regarding demographic variable the study findings are: majority 40% and 70% of women were in the age group of 25-35yrs and 36-45yrs in the group I and II respectively.
With regards to acceptance of Screening method it was found that in group I all 10(100%) women had accepted whereas from group II only 1(10%) had accepted for test
