Desempenho das enfermeiras na coleta ginecológica na estratégia de saúde da família (ESF) da região oeste do município de Trindade-GO

Abstract

The Pap test has an important role in the detection of premalignant lesions and it’s the method most commonly used in the screening for cancer of the cervix, which if detected early there are great chances of healing. The objective of this study is to evaluate the gynecological collections performance by nurses. Four nurses were analyzed using a questionnaire in conducting the collection of a total of 23 Pap tests and subsequently laboratory results. It was found that most slides investigated were classified as unsatisfactory, since there were no ectocervical and endocervical cells. Only 9 smears could be considered satisfactory. The main factor that made the darkening unsatisfactory samples was the knowledge lack from nurses. These non-compliances identified in the preanalytical phase can be minimized through training and awareness programs for professionals involved in the gynecological collection examinations.
