Abstract

Cervical cancer cells develop in the area of the uterus that attaches to the vagina or the cervix. Various strains of the human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted disease, are the primary cause of most cervical cancers (HPV). Therefore, the goal of this study was to protect women between the ages of 25 and 40 from developing cervical cancer. Therefore, this study aimed to prevent cervical cancer in women between the ages of 25 and 40. The aim and objectives of the study is to assess the knowledge regarding the prevention of cervical cancer among women and to assess the significance of the association relationship between post-test knowledge scores." The research design selected for the study was pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test research design". Non-probability convenience sampling technique was used to obtain 60 samples at selected are of Visnagar. Pretest done by structured knowledge questionnaire, after pre-test sensitization programme given to women. The Ost test is done using the same questionnaire. The data analysis showed that the mean value of the pre-test and post-test was 7.41 and 23.2, respectively, and the pre-test and post-test standard deviation of the value were 3.97. 4.89). The average disparity was (15.79). The estimated "t" value (25.58) was higher than the table value (1.67). This demonstrated that the knowledge levels of women were significantly different between the pre and post-test. Therefore, it is obvious that the sensitization campaign had a beneficial effect on women's knowledge levels. Thus, it was clear that sensitizing programmes had a positive impact on women's knowledge levels.
