Summary

This study tested whether a nurse navigation program—including education, counseling, and WhatsApp follow-up—could encourage more women aged 30-65 to get screened for cervical cancer. 80 women who were not regularly screened took part. The program aimed to improve their understanding and motivation. Results will show if this approach increases screening rates.
