A védőnői méhnyakszűrési pilot program értékelése

INTRODUCTION Within the tender (6.1.3.A-13/1-2013-0001) supported by the European Union, we wished to involve health visitors into the organized cervical cancer screening program. AIM The aim of our survey was to assess the satisfaction of health visitors, instructors, and that of the teaching aids. Furthermore, we wished to assess whether the teaching materials met the expectations. METHOD Satisfaction of the health visitors was assessed by a survey, in four groups of questions. These involved the assessment of the instructors, the teaching aids, evaluation of the further training day, and the compliance with the knowledge of training. Period for completion of the questionnaires lasted from October to December in 2014. We used descriptive statistics for data evaluation. RESULTS Data of 2148 health visitors was evaluated. They rated the performance of gynecologist-obstetricians 4.65, that of health visitors 4.61, that of public health professionals 4.56, and that of IT specialists 4.52. 98% of the teaching aids were useful for them and the acquired knowledge was appropriate with their expectations. CONCLUSION The health visitors were satisfied with the theoretical instruction within the pilot program. The professionally well prepared health visitors may contribute to the success of the cervical cancer screening program. Orv.

Attendance of the fourth (2008-2009) screening round of the Hungarian organized, nationwide breast cancer screening program

INTRODUCTION Organised, nationwide screening for breast cancer with mammography in the age group between 45 and 65 years with 2 years screening interval started in Hungary in January 2002. AIM The aim of this study is to analyze the attendance rate of nationwide breast screening programme for the 2008-2009 years. METHOD The data derive from the database of the National Health Insurance Fund Administration. The ratio of women in the age group 45-65 years was calculated having either a screening mammography or a diagnostic mammography in the 4th screening round of the programme. RESULTS In the years 2000-2001, 7.6% of the women had an opportunistic screening mammography while in 2008-2009 31.2% of the target population had screening mammography within the organized programme. During the same periods 20.2% (2000-2001) and 20.4% (2008-2009) of women had a diagnostic mammography. Thus the total (screening and diagnostic) coverage of mammography increased from 26.6% (2000-2001) to 50.1% (2008-2009). The attendance rate failed to change between 2002 and 2009. CONCLUSIONS In order to decrease the mortality due to breast cancer, the attendance rate of mammography screening programme should be increased. Orv. Hetil., 154(50), 1975-1983.

Clinical and health policy experiences with HPV prevalence within the Hungarian organized cervical cancer screening program

Distribution of HPV genotypes is a keen issue in the identification of high risk genotypes. In the international scientific literature, there are several reports describing HPV genotype distributions [2]. The findings of Ouh and colleagues [1] are consistent with the results of other studies. However, limited information is available on the occurrence frequency or prevalence of HPV infection within the general population.
