The objectives were to: (1) compare the scores on perceptions of cervical cancer and screening behaviors among at-risk women at Sakon Nakhon Hospital before and after the intervention, and (2) evaluate the satisfaction level of these women with the program. The sample consisted of 42 high-risk women aged 30-60 years. The experimental conponents included: a program designed to promote cervical cancer screening behaviors, (2) an assessment of awareness regarding cervical cancer and screening behaviors, and (3) an assessment of satisfaction. The content validity was established, and reliability testing using Cronbach's alpha yield coefficient of .76 and .77, respectively. Data analysis using paired t-tests revealed the following findings:</p> <ol> <li>At-risk women demonstrated a statistically significant increase in awareness of cervical cancer and its prevention (p < 0.001). Before the intervention, their awareness score was at a moderate level ( =2.23, SD. = 0.51), which increased to a high level after the intervention ( =2.60, SD. = 0.35). Additionally, all participants underwent cervical cancer screening within one month following the implementation of the program.</li> <li>The participants reported a high level of satisfaction with the program ( = 2.98 SD.= .037)</li> </ol> <p> These findings suggest that the program is effective in promoting cervical cancer screening behaviors among at-risk women. Therefore, it is recommended that this program be implemented in other high-risk populations within the hospital’s service area to enhance cervical cancer screening in alignment with the criteria set by the Ministry of Public Health.</p>2025-03-12T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Nursing and Health Sciences Nakhon Phanom University
