Abstract
Cervical cancer is a potentially preventable disease if appropriate screening and prophylactic strategies are employed. However, lack of knowledge and awareness can result in underutilization of the preventive strategies. Healthcare professionals with adequate knowledge play a huge role in influencing the beliefs and practices of the general public in a positive way. The aim of the study was to assess theKnowledge regarding Cervical Cancer among Women.An exploratory survey was conducted and a convenient sampling technique was used to select 30 samples. Structured questionnaire was used to collect the data from 30 women in the age group of 21 to 59 years and the data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study findings revealed that 26 86.7 of the women had inadequate knowledge regarding cervical cancer and 4 13.3 of them had moderate knowledge and none of the samples have adequate knowledge regarding cervical cancer and there is a association between level of knowledge regarding cervical cancer with educational status and there is no association of level of knowledge regarding cervical cancer with demographic variables such as age, type of family and occupational status at p 0.5 level.
