| description | Abstract Background Cervical cancer is the fourth most frequently diagnosed and found to be the leading cause of cancer death in women, especially in low and middle-income countries. Even though cervical cancer is a preventable disease, its preventive measures have not been equitably implemented across and within different countries; especially in low and middle-income countries, due to different contributing factors. Objective This study aimed to assess cervical cancer screening utilization and its’ predictors among Women in Bench Sheko Zone, Southwest Ethiopia. Method A community-based cross-sectional study design was employed in Bench Sheko Zone from February 2021 to April 2021. Using a multi-stage stratified sampling method, a total of 690 women in the age range of 30–49 years were included in the study. The logistic regression analysis was used considering a 95% confidence interval and a P-value of < 0.05. Results Ninety-six (14.2%) of the participants have utilized cervical cancer screening. Predictors like; age between 40–49 years (AOR = 5.35, 95% CI = [2.89, 9.90]), partner educational status of certificate and above (AOR = 4.36, 95% CI = [1.65, 11.51]), first sexual intercourse before eighteen years (AOR = 4.85, 95% CI = [2.29, 10.26]), ever used of alcohol (AOR = 3.99, 95% CI = [1.23, 12.89]), good knowledge (AOR = 8.98, 95% CI = [4.06, 19.89]), favorable attitude (AOR = 3.56, 95% CI = [1.78, 7.09]), and high perceived benefit (AOR = 2.94, 95% CI = [1.48, 5.84]) were strongly associated with cervical cancer screening utilization. Conclusion In this study, cervical cancer screening utilization was relatively low. Therefore, promotion of the perception of women towards cervical cancer screening, and provision of health-related information towards different behavioral-related factors should have to be addressed at each level of health care. |
