Cervical cancer is a major global health problem, with nearly 500,000 new cases occurring each year worldwide. The study aim to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching program on knowledge and barriers towards cervical cancer screening among women of reproductive age .Research design: A quasi- experimental design was used. Settings: The study was conducted at outpatient clinic for gynecological problems at the cancer center in Tanta University Hospital, affiliated to General Secretariat of Specialized Centers. Subjects: A purposive sample of 92 married women, from the previous setting during the period of three months. Tools, two tools were used to collect data.1)A structure interview questionnaire, it was composed of five parts; 2) The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI): This index assesses sexual function. Results: shows that there was highly statistically significant improvement was shown posttest compared to the pretest. Regardingthe women knowledge about screening for early investigations by done the Pap smear test, HPV andvaccine related to disease, reveals that the women's total knowledge score about teaching program about cancer cervix throughout pre and posttest program phases. It is evident that a highly statistically significant improvement with P<0.0001. No significant differences were observed in terms of their score of sexual functioning pre the program (P=0.038); however, a significant difference was observed between them post the program (P<0.001). Conclusion: There was highly statistical relationship between total knowledge and barriers in which P=0.001 as women who had poor knowledge more likely to had negative barriers compared to women who had good knowledge more likely to had positive barriers. Recommendations: Increase awareness of community about cervical cancer through efforts by out-patient clinics to promote cervical cancer screening among women, focus on age for first screening and encouraging a belief that regular screening can detect the pre-cancerous stage, further research about awareness of women about stages of disease and its effect on quality of life.
