Objective: The objective of this work was to show women's perception in relation to cervical cancer preventive practices and the role of nursing in this context. Methods: The study is an integrative, descriptive and exploratory research to synthesize data on access to health services for cervical cancer in the public sector. The selection of articles was made in databases such as Scielo, PubMed, BVS and Lilacs, considering criteria such as free of charge, abstracts in Portuguese/English and online publications from 2018 to 2023. Articles prior to 2018 were excluded. The search identified 160 articles, of which 30 were potentially eligible, resulting in 9 articles after detailed abstract analysis. Submission to the Ethics Committee was not necessarily due to the exploratory nature of the research. Results: 9 scientific articles were selected, covering subjects that were separated and organized by category, where the knowledge published through them on the proposed topic was consolidated, syntactically interconnecting them in order to obtain a set of propositions and conclusions from the chosen authors. Conclusion: In view of this study, the need to improve preventive measures to increase adherence to the exam is evident, emphasizing its importance for women's health. Furthermore, it is important to strengthen women's awareness and the relationship of trust between professionals and patients, to reduce mortality from cervical cancer.
