Resumo: Cervical cancer is prevented or healed if detected early but its impact on morbimortality depends upon not only the availability and coverage of the preventive test, but also the smear quality. The negligence on the latter can bring about false-negatives results, delaying its diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the Papanicolaou smear performed by nursing students and make a comparison with the Pap smears made by health care professionals. A hundred and twelve smears were analyzed in the same laboratory, fifty six of them performed by students and 56 by professionals (control group), collected in the same Health Unities and during the same period of time. The analysis showed a number of dissatisfactory smears higher than acceptable on the whole. However, in the control group, this percentage was significantly higher than those found in the study group, for the forty-year old women or elder. The absence of squamous-columnar junction's cells (SCJ) in the smear samples was the main cause of dissatisfaction. The authors recommend the revision of collection procedures and the repetition of a new collect whenever the SCJ cells were not appropriately visible in the smear.

A negligência neste último aspecto pode ocasionar resultados falso-negativos e retardar o diagnóstico e o tratamento. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o esfregaço de Papanicolaou realizado por alunos de enfermagem, comparando-o ao material colhido por profissionais. Cento e doze esfregaços foram analisados em um mesmo laboratório, sendo 56 colhidos por alunos e 56 colhidos por profissionais (grupo-controle), nas mesmas Unidades de Saúde e no mesmo período de tempo. A análise constatou um número de amostras insatisfatórias acima do aceitável, porém, no grupo-controle, esse percentual foi significantemente maior do que no grupo em estudo, para as mulheres com 40 anos ou mais. A ausência de representatividade da junção escamo-colunar (JEC) foi a causa prevalente da classificação da amostra como insatisfatória. Os autores recomendam a revisão dos procedimentos de coleta e a repetição desta sempre que a JEC não estiver devidamente representada no esfregaço.INCA2009-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigos, Avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/167110.32635/2176-9745.RBC.2009v55n1.1671Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 55 No. 1 (2009): Jan./Feb;/Mar.; 19-25Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 55 Núm. 1 (2009): ene./feb./mar.; 19-25Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 55 n. 1 (2009): jan./fev./mar.; 19-252176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/1671/983Santos, Marilia Leonardo dosMoreno, Mirian SorianoPereira, Valdina Marinsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-29T20:21:50Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/1671Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2021-11-29T20:21:50Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false
