我们试图描述使女性感到 (1) 不确定和 (2) 对自己的人乳头瘤病毒 (HPV) 状态以及 HPV DNA 检测结果对健康的潜在影响感到放心的信息，以及 (3) 在收到结果后检查寻求的信息。三十名女性（之前的 HPV 检测呈阴性）阅读了有关 HPV 和宫颈癌的事实信息，并被询问哪些事实会引起不确定性，哪些事实令人放心。 24 个事实让女性确信自己的 HPV 呈阴性，11 个事实让女性感到不确定，10 个事实让她们两者都有感觉。未来寻求信息的最常见原因是收到阳性检测结果。作者概述了有关 HPV 的健康提供者可以强调哪些具体事实，以减轻焦虑，并鼓励女性在检测结果呈阴性后对自己的低癌症风险感到放心。
We sought to describe information that makes women feel (1) uncertain and (2) reassured about their human papillomavirus (HPV) status and the potential health implications of an HPV DNA test result and (3) to examine information seeking after receiving their result. Thirty women (previously tested HPV negative) read factual information on HPV and cervical cancer and were asked which facts were uncertainty inducing and which were reassuring. Twenty-four facts reassured women of their HPV negative status, 11 facts made women feel uncertain, and 10 facts made them feel both. The most common reason for seeking information in the future was receiving a positive test result. The authors outline what specific facts about HPV health providers can emphasize to alleviate anxiety and encourage women to feel reassured of their low cancer risk following a negative test result.
