Abstract

Introduction: Cervical cancer prevention poses a significant challenge in the global public health arena, as this pathology continues to affect women worldwide. In this context, the integration of health education emerges as a key strategy, playing a crucial role in raising awareness, prevention, and promoting women's health.

Methodology: The search was restricted to the last 5 years, considering the timeliness of the information. The applied filters included the requirement for access to the full text, prioritizing systematic reviews as a means to ensure a comprehensive and consolidated analysis of the existing scientific literature. The initial number of identified articles was 33.

Results: Promoting proactive attitudes towards cervical cancer prevention goes beyond simple information dissemination. It involves cultivating a preventive mindset, encouraging women to adopt regular care practices and integrate preventive measures into their health routines.

Conclusion: When considering patient profiles, risk factors, the importance of educational initiatives, screening, and the use of protective measures, it is possible to develop comprehensive and culturally sensitive approaches. These approaches aim not only to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer but also to promote women's overall health.
