ABSTRACT
(1)

Background:

Low patient's adherence to conventional cervical cancer screening methods determined the need to take into consideration alternative approaches, and vaginal HPV self-sampling is one of them. We aimed to evaluate, using an online survey, the Romanian women's acceptability of vaginal HPV self-sampling. (2)

Methods:

A 13-questions online survey was distributed on three Facebook groups, and the results were summarized. (3)

Results:

Despite of good educational background, 10.8% (n = 60) of the respondents did not know what a Pap smear is, and 33% (n = 183) were not informed about the free national cervical cancer screening program. Multivariate analysis revealed an increased likelihood of vaginal self-sampling acceptance among respondents who did not know about Pap test (OR 7.80; 95%CI 1.062-57.431; p = 0.021), national cervical cancer screening program (OR 1.96; 95%CI 1.010-3.806; p = 0.02), HPV infection (OR 7.35; 95%CI 3.099-17.449; p< 0.001) or HPV test (OR 1.67; 95%CI 0.950-2.948; p = 0.03). Moreover, women who did not previously undergo a cervical cancer screening program were more likely to accept the new screening method (OR 1.62; 95%CI 0.878-3.015; p = 0.04). (4)

Conclusions:

Our results showed high acceptability rates of vaginal HPV self-sampling among participants.
