La baja adherencia a los cuidados preventivos es una de las causas que convierte al cáncer de cuello uterino en la cuarta causa más frecuente de muerte en mujeres por cáncer en Brasil. Las percepciones que le dan al preventivo son variadas y pueden estar directamente relacionadas con la adherencia al examen. Objetivo: Identificar estudios sobre los sentidos y las percepciones de las mujeres sobre el examen preventivo del cáncer de cuello uterino. Método: Revisión integrativa de la literatura en las bases de datos MEDLINE y LILACS, sin límite de tiempo. Resultados: Los estudios mostraron que la mayoría de las mujeres desconocen el propósito principal del preventivo, reportan miedo en relación a un posible diagnóstico de cáncer y el malestar físico derivado del examen, además de presentar sentimientos como vergüenza al exponer los propios. cuerpo, asociándose con la sexualidad. Las barreras institucionales y sociales y la falta de aceptación por parte del profesional comprometen la adherencia de las mujeres al examen. Conclusión: Las mujeres atribuyen sentimientos negativos como la vergüenza y el miedo al preventivo, así como el desconocimiento de la importancia y objetivo principal de la prueba, contribuyendo a la baja adherencia al cribado. Por tanto, es necesario que los profesionales aprendan a recoger las dudas y miedos de las mujeres, considerando sus aspectos socioculturales y económicos, para potenciar el vínculo terapéutico y así posibilitar una mejor comprensión del significado e importancia del examen.Introdução: O exame do Papanicolaou, caso seja realizado periodicamente, permite identificar alterações celulares que podem evoluir para o câncer. A baixa adesão ao preventivo é uma das causas que transforma o câncer do colo do útero na quarta causa mais frequente de morte de mulheres por câncer no Brasil. As percepções que elas têm sobre preventivo são variadas e podem ter relação direta com a adesão ao exame. Objetivo: Identificar estudos sobre sentidos e percepções das mulheres acerca do exame preventivo do câncer do colo do útero. Método: Revisão integrativa da literatura nas bases de dados do MEDLINE e LILACS, sem delimitação de tempo. Resultados: Os estudos mostraram que as mulheres, em sua maioria, desconhecem o objetivo principal do preventivo, referem medo em relação a um possível diagnóstico de câncer e ao desconforto físico decorrente do exame, além de apresentarem sentimentos como vergonha em expor o próprio corpo, associando à sexualidade. Barreiras institucionais, sociais e a falta de acolhimento por parte do profissional comprometem a adesão da mulher ao exame. Conclusão: As mulheres atribuem sentimentos considerados negativos como vergonha e medo do preventivo, bem como desconhecimento da importância e do objetivo principal do exame, contribuindo para a baixa adesão ao rastreamento. Portanto, torna-se necessário que os profissionais saibam quais são as dúvidas e os receios das mulheres, considerando seus aspectos socioculturais e econômicos, para potencializar o vínculo terapêutico e possibilitar melhor compreensão do significado e da importância do exame.INCA2022-04-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRevisão de literaturaapplication/pdfapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/163210.32635/2176-9745.RBC.2022v68n2.1632Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 68 No. 2 (2022): Apr./May/June; e-031632Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 68 Núm. 2 (2022): abr./mayo/jun.; e-031632Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 68 n. 2 (2022): abr./maio./jun.; e-0316322176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporenghttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/1632/1609https://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/1632/2020https://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/1632/1639Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Brasileira de Cancerologiahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos, Jeferson Nascimento dos Gomes, Rosilene Souza 2022-08-10T16:20:52Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/1632Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2022-08-10T16:20:52Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false
