Data collection was performed on the data basis LILACS and SciELOelectronic library in August of 2012, with the combination of the descriptors “prevention of cervical cancer”,“cancer of the cervix” and “nursing”. For a description of selected research we used absolute frequency(n), percentage (%) and the organization of data by similarity. Development: All interventions, whetherthey were social, behavioral, or cognitive, proved to offer positive effects on early screening of the CUC,however, it is suggested a combination of interventions to increase the efficiency of the approach.
