Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the profile of public servants from four bodies/agencies of the federal public administration, in the city of Curitiba, state of Paraná, and their perceptions of the cervical screening test. Descriptive study conducted in 2014 with 110 servants. The results showed that 38.19% (n=42) were older than 50 years. Regarding the risk factors for cervical cancer, 7.27% (n=08) were smokers; 32.72% (n=36) did not practice physical exercises; 26.36% (n=29) used contraceptives and 6.36% (n=07) did not get the routine cervical screening tests determined by the doctors. Regarding the test, 54.57% (n=60) of the participants said they had no difficulty having cervical screening tests. Regarding the views of the servants on this pathology, 38.19% (n=42) believed it was important to get pap smear test to insure early detection of problems. Therefore, most servants were older than 50, non-smokers, practiced physical exercises, did not take contraceptives and had screening tests annually.
