A Study on the Cervical Cancer Screening Behavior of Female University Students in Gwangju Metropolitan City

The purpose of this study was to identify the current status of cervical cancer screening behavior by female university students and to analyze their related factors and factors that hinder screening behavior. In total, 152 female college students were involved and the data collection was done by the structured questionnaires using Naver form. The data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 26.0 program by frequency, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and χ2-test. The older the age, the more married students, those who acquired cervical cancer and HPV information through medical institutions, those who vaccinated against HPV, and those who had sexual experience received more screenings for cervical cancer. The main reason why they do not receive cervical cancer screening was that they do not have much time. Therefore, it is thought that there is a need for a strategy to increase the cervical cancer screening behavior of female college students.
