Impact of the Different Information Channels in Reducing Anxiety in Participants of Cervical Cancer Screening

When participating in population-based screening for cervical cancer, women experience great anxiety during the weeks of waiting since they learn that they have an altered screening result until the colposcopy is performed. In this study we want to verify how anxiety decreases when the information is improved and an audiovisual support is added when giving it.

Inclusion Criteria:Patients who participate in the Osakidetza cervical cancer screening program and are referred to the colposcopy consultation of the Hospital Universitario Donostia due to an altered screening test.Exclusion Criteria:Patients who have previously been in the colposcopy consultation or have gone to a private center to receive information about their altered result or to undergo colposcopy.
