Human papillomavirus (HPV) self-sampling is well-accepted by women for cervical cancer screening. The Delphi Screener device showed higher satisfaction and preference over the HC Sampler.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Oncology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Cervical cancer screening relies on human papillomavirus (HPV) testing.
  • HPV self-sampling offers a potential alternative to traditional clinician-collected samples.
  • This study evaluated two HPV self-sampling methods in women undergoing cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the acceptability of two HPV self-sampling devices: Hybrid Capture (HC) Cervical Sampler and Delphi Screener.
  • To assess women's preferences between self-sampling and clinician-collected samples.
  • To evaluate factors like comfort, embarrassment, pain, and ease of use for each self-sampling method.

Main Methods:

  • 205 women undergoing excisional procedures for CIN participated.

  • 111 women used the HC Cervical Sampler, and 94 used the Delphi Screener.
  • Participants completed questionnaires on acceptability, comfort, embarrassment, pain, and preference.

    • Main Results:

    • Both HPV self-sampling methods were generally accepted.
    • The Delphi Screener demonstrated significantly higher acceptability and lower embarrassment compared to the HC Sampler.
    • 68% of women preferred self-sampling over clinician sampling, with a higher preference in the Delphi Screener group (77.6%).

    Conclusions:

    • HPV self-sampling is favorably received by women, enhancing cervical cancer screening participation.
    • The Delphi Screener, a dedicated self-sampling device, achieved the highest satisfaction levels.
    • Acceptable HPV self-sampling methods are crucial for improving screening in under-served populations and areas with limited organized screening programs.
