Factors affecting cervical cancer screening and human papilloma virus vaccination among Middle Eastern refugee women in Türkiye: indicators for social workers and nurses

The results of this study suggest the necessity for specific training programs and improved initiatives for healthcare access to prevent cervical cancer among vulnerable groups. Healthcare providers can support preventive measures more effectively if these concerns are addressed with consideration of the sociocultural elements and language issues among Middle Eastern refugee women. Although some limitations associated with self-reported data collection methods may have introduced response bias, this study showed how social workers and nurses can act as facilitators to prevent cervical cancer.
