4. Discussion
Cervical cancer has a great impact on the lives of women around the world, affecting women of all ages and is
curable when detected at an early stage. Beliefs about health care constitute ideas or speech that people express
about how they maintain or regain their health, which is reflected in the health behaviours they embrace. Thus,
health beliefs appear and progress within an individual’s social and cultural context.
With the aim of analysing health beliefs in the four subscales, we found that participants have a low vulnerability
in relation to cervical cancer, even though most reveal indifference to the statement “I feel I am likely to get cervical
cancer in my lifetime.” and agree with the statement “I’m worried about the fact that I may develop cervical cancer
in the near future.” In their research, Areias (2011) found that participants “have a high vulnerability in relation to
cervical cancer, although most disagree with the statements, “I am more likely to have cervical cancer than most
women.” And “I could be developing cervical cancer right now.” Patrão (2002) also obtained consistent results,
“Women who belong to the sample...have a high belief in vulnerability with regards to cervical cancer.”
Regarding the severity subscale, we found that most participants expressed an average belief in severity in
relation to cervical cancer, as they show indifference to most statements. Nevertheless, we found that thinking about
cervical cancer scares most participants and disagree with the statements “If I had cervical cancer, I would not live
more than five years.” and, “Cervical cancer could threaten my relationship with my boyfriend, husband or partner.”
Contrary to our results, Areias (2011) found that participants in their study “have a high belief in severity in relation
to cervical cancer.” Patrão (2002) obtained similar results, “Participants generally...have a high belief in severity in
relation to cervical cancer.” As for the statement, “If I had cervical cancer, I would not live more than five years.”
the results obtained in both studies were similar to ours, i.e., most participants did not link cervical cancer with an
early death.
Analysing the benefits subscale, most participants have a high belief in the benefits of cytology. However, most
show indifference to the statement, “If any lesions are found on my uterus through cytology, the cancer treatment
will not be that bad.” Areias (2011) and Patrão (2002) obtained similar results in their studies with regards to this
subscale.
