Abstract
The objective of the study were to identify the barriers related to screening for cervical cancer among the women, assess & compare the knowledge on cervical cancer before & after the Community based education program among the women, determine the association of post test knowledge score of women on cervical cancer with selected variables. The research design selected for study was Pre experimental (Quantitative). The study was conducted at women residing in village Simbla, Dist Ambala, Haryana (N=100) and convenient sampling technique was used. Structured questionnaires were used to assess barriers, and structured knowledge questionnaire was used before and after CBEP (Video based instruction). The result revealed that 63% of women had barriers. In pre test none of the women had good level of knowledge and in the post test (69%) had good knowledge. The mean knowledge score of post test (20.85) was significantly higher than the pre test (9.64) with the ‘t’ value of 27.53 (p<0.05). Further, there was no significant association of post test knowledge score with any of the selected variable. Community based education program (video based instruction) was an effective teaching method for enhancing the knowledge of women on cervical cancer.
