Abstract

Abstract Body

Background and Purpose: Cervical cancer screening (CCS) consists in detecting the human papillomavirus that can lead to the development of cervical cancer, aiming to decrease the incidence of malignant neoplasia. The recommendation of The National Low Risk Pregnancy Surveillance Program is to update the CCS at the preconception consultation (PC) or at one of the first trimester consultations (FTC). Our aim is to sensitize physicians, women who are planning a pregnancy and pregnant women to the importance of performing the CCS when screening is not updated and to emphasize the importance of CCS registration, both by 50%.

Methodology: This is a retrospective assessment, whose target population are patients coded W78-Pregnancy, W79-Unwanted Pregnancy, W84 - Risk Pregnancy, as an active problem, and first consultation at PHC during preconception or before 13 weeks and 6 days of gestation, from the health centers of the authors of the study. September 2021: collecting data from the six months prior. October 2021 to March 2022: implementing corrective steps (such as knowledge verification questionnaires, awareness leaflets, family planning health education sessions and others). April 2022: evaluation of collected data.

Results: The evaluation of the CCS update in the PC or one of the FTC is rated as insufficient if less than 40%, sufficient if between 40% and 60%, and good if greater than 60%.

Conclusions: With the application of the corrective measures conceptualized in this quality protocol, we hope to achieve the goals setted.
