Abstract One of the main causes of cancer in women globally is cervical cancer. Educating people about health issues is one strategy to reduce the prevalence of this cancerous condition. The purpose of this study was to create an educational package on cervical cancer (EPCC) and assess how well it worked in terms of significantly raising rural women's awareness of the disease. Pre-test and post-test were conducted in a single group. A straightforward sample technique was used to choose thirty rural women. A structured knowledge questionnaire created by the researchers and a demographic questionnaire were used to gather data. The EPCC was intended to run for an hour and ten minutes.
After administering the structured knowledge questionnaire as a pre-test, the EPCC was used to teach information about cervical cancer.
The post-test was given on the eighth day. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data.
The EPCC was successful in raising rural women's awareness of cervical cancer, as evidenced by the fact that the women's mean post-test knowledge score was much higher than their mean pre-test score. The chi-square test, which was used to calculate the relationship between pre-test knowledge scores and specific demographic characteristics, revealed that the women's pre-test knowledge score about cervical cancer was unaffected by any of the sociodemographic factors.
It was determined that the EPCC is successful in raising women's awareness of cervical cancer. Women urgently need to be educated about cervical cancer prevention due to the high prevalence of the disease.
