Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer arising from cells originating in the cervix uteri that women suffer across the globe. About 11,956 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer in Bangladesh every year, and over 6,582 dies due to this disease. The study aimed to explore the level of knowledge and attitude towards cervical cancer among adult women attending a private hospital in Dhaka City. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Labaid Hospital at Dhanmondi, Dhaka, from January to August 2020 using a semi-structured questionnaire. Among 142 participants, the majority (62.3%) were in the age group ≥30 years with a mean age of 29.47±4.873 years. About
(66.9%) of the respondents don’t have any idea about cervical cancer, (91.5%) were not aware of human papillomavirus (HPV), and 40.1% strongly disagreed that women with multiple sex partners are more predisposed to cervical cancer. The level of knowledge was associated with age group, marital status, education, occupation, family type, and residence of respondents. While the level of attitude was associated with respondents’ age group, religion, marital status, education, occupation, family monthly income, and residence. In summary, the study found that the respondents’ socio-demographic characteristics have a significant impact on their knowledge and attitude towards cervical cancer. Several community-based interventions need to be adopted and implemented in Bangladesh to promote higher awareness regarding cervical cancer among the concerned stakeholders.
