Abstract

Objective: Describe cervical cancer screening practice for married women aged 30-50 years and the relationship between husband support and wife screening. Research method: Cross-section design with 255 couples living in Thanh Binh district, Dong Thap province from March to July 2020. Results: The proportion of women who had cervical cancer screening was 24.2%. Married women who do not regularly help their wives with housework, spend money on their wives to see health checks and encourage their wives to get screened have a 1.37, 1.31 and 1.35 times higher rate of non-screening. (p <0.05) compared with women with regular supportive husbands. Conclusion: Cervical cancer screening practices are low. The husband's support is related to the wife's cervical cancer screening. The role of the husband should continue to research to provide information for the cervical cancer screening program to be implemented more effectively. Key words: Cervical cancer, screening for cervical / cervical cancer, husband's role.
