Abstract

While cervical cancer is both preventable and curable if detected early, knowledge and preventive practices among reproductive-age women in Bangladesh remain largely underexplored, particularly in urban settings. This study aims to address this gap through an assessment of cervical cancer prevention knowledge and practices among female patients at a tertiary hospital in Dhaka. A cross-sectional survey was conducted at Dhaka Medical College Hospital over a one-month period, with data collected from 205 women using a semi-structured questionnaire. SPSS version 23 was utilized for data analysis, including Pearson correlation, two-sample t-test, and one-way ANOVA. The results showed that 52.7 percent of participants had high knowledge of cervical cancer prevention, while 56.1 percent exhibited poor preventive practices. A significant correlation (r = 0.52, p < 0.001) was found between knowledge and practice. Additionally, factors like level of secondary education (F = 10.52, p < 0.001), employment status (F = 10.26, p < 0.001), and monthly income (r = 0.27, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with knowledge. The findings indicate that, despite high levels of knowledge, preventive practices remain poor, highlighting the need for enhanced awareness initiatives and behavior change interventions aimed at improving cervical cancer prevention. This disconnect between awareness and practice underscores the importance of designing culturally sensitive and accessible behavior change interventions, particularly targeting populations with lower educational attainment and those who are unemployed, to translate knowledge into sustained preventive practices.

Abstract

Stress among nursing students has been widely recognized as a persistent challenge, yet there remains a gap in understanding the interplay between stressors and coping mechanisms within the South Asian context, particularly Bangladesh. This study aimed to assess stress and coping strategies among diploma nursing and midwifery students in Bangladesh. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 students from selected nursing colleges, using a semi-structured, self-administered questionnaire. Stress was measured with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), while coping strategies were assessed with the Coping Behavior Inventory (CBI). The results showed that students reported moderate levels of stress, with assignments and workload (1.84±0.70) being the most prominent stressors, followed by peers and daily life (1.77±0.79), clinical environment (1.68±0.88), teachers and nursing staff (1.38±0.78), and taking care of patients (1.32±0.64), while lack of professional knowledge and skills was the least reported (1.27±0.79). The most frequently used coping strategy was problem solving (2.82±0.69), followed by optimism (2.65±0.67), transference (2.59±0.73), and avoidance (1.35±0.79). A significant mild positive correlation was found between stress and coping strategies (r = 0.229, p = 0.000), while avoidance coping was positively associated with all stress domains. These findings suggest that although nursing students face substantial stress, they often adopt constructive coping strategies, particularly problem solving and optimism, which should be reinforced through structured stress management and resilience-building programs in nursing education.
