Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
It is intended to evaluate the relevance of the recommendation of disposition on the smear blade of the ectocervix cells of the cervix only after collection of the endocervix material. The population of the research will correspond to the universe of women attended at the CPN, more specifically in the gynecological nursing consultations, to perform the Papanicolau. The sample size was calculated using the formula for studies with comparative groups (JEKEL; ELMORE; KATZ, 2005). For this study, because it is unprecedented, the proportion of occurrence of the adopted outcome will be 50%. Thus, by substituting the following values in formula: Za = 95% (1,96), Zb = 80% (0,84), p = 50% e d = 15%; the sample size was 196 participants for each group, totaling 392 women.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To evaluate the effect of the intervention applied on the cytological result and the sociodemographic and gynecological factors that may be conditioning the result; (p <0.05) and the Odds Ratio (OR) will be considered statistically significant, where p is less than 0.05 (p <0.05) with a 95% confidence interval. Continuous variables will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation, with a 95% confidence interval and frequency and percentage categories. In order to have a normal distribution, the continuous data will be evaluated by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test (FIELD, 2009).
