PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of Desexualization Care guided by dramaturgical interaction on women’s embarrassment during cervical cancer screening.
METHOD: This study was carried out in a nonequivalent control group non-synchronized post-test only design. 62 women who had cervical cancer screening were conveniently recruited from a university hospital health promotion center. Embarrassment was measured under four distinctive sub-dimensions by the method of self-reported questionnaire and blood pressure and pulse rates monitoring. The data of control group had a conventional pap smear were collected in advance and then those of experimental group were gathered after completing data collection in the control group. Women in experimental group were provided with a newly developed cervical cancer screening programme in which interdisciplinary team conducted dramaturgical interaction.
RESULT: There was no significant difference in the scores of VAS between the two groups. The score of physiological response of Embarrassment Measurement Scale was significantly lower in experimental group than in the control group (p<.05), while no significant difference was found in cognitive-emotional, non-verbal and verbal behavioral responses between the two groups. There was also no significant difference in blood pressure and pulse rates between the two groups during cervical screening.
CONCLUSION: Desexualization Care guided by dramaturgical interaction during cervical screening was found to have positive effect on physiological response of women’s embarrassment. Further research for identifying other main variables which might have influenced on women’s embarrassment is needed.
