Popis: Key findings Systematic reviews from developing countries identified two broad barriers to cervical cancer services uptake, namely, demand-side barriers and supply-side barriers. The demand-side barriers includes lack of awareness, illiteracy, challenges related with geographic access, permission required from family or lacking social support, and inability to pay, embarrassment, and fear of the screening procedure or outcome. The supply-side barriers includes health workforce shortages or absenteeism of service providers, lack of outreach services, lack of supplies or infrastructure needed for screening and follow up. Effective strategies or interventions to mitigate the barriers that hinder cervical cancer services uptake included mostly of cervical cancer services integration with HIV/AIDS programs and interventions such as: call–recall program, health education, mobile screening, and interaction with healthcare providers, access to healthcare system, invitation, and making use of mobile technologies (telephone support) How this Rapid Evidence Review was prepared? The methods used to prepare in this rapid evidence review were adapted from the SURE Rapid Response Service. In this review, we have searched for relevant evidence related to barriers for cervical cancer services uptake by women living with HIV/AIDS and their mitigation strategies. The evidence in this summary comes from systematic reviews and guidelines. It was prepared based on structured searches of the literature and selected evidence-based healthcare databases (SUPPORT Summaries, PDQ-Evidence, Epistemonikos, Health systems evidence, Medline, Cochrane Library, and JBI database for systematic reviews). What is Rapid evidence Review? Rapid evidence review addresses the needs of policymakers and program managers for research evidence that has been appraised and contextualized to a specific context in a matter of hours or days. This rapid evidence review goes beyond research evidence and integrates multiple types and levels of evidence Where did this Rapid Evidence Review come from? This document was created in response to the request from TB/HIV Reseach Directorate of EPHI to synthesize the best available evidence related to barriers for cervical cancer services uptake by women living with HIV/AIDS and their mitigation strategies. It was prepared by the Knowledge Translation Directorate and TB/HIV Research Directorate, Ethiopian Public Health Institute.
