ABSTRACT
Introduction: In Mexico Cervico Uterine Cancer (CuCa) is serious problem, with a mortality rate of 9.5/100,000 women. The Mexican established Public Health Policy is to improve detection and quality attention through compliance to The Official Mexican Standard: NOM.014, SSA-2 1994.Goal: To evaluate compliance to NOM.014, SSA-2 1994.
Material and methods: By means of a descriptive and cross-sectional design, quality assessment of the sampling process for Opportune Detection of CaCu (DOC) was undertaken. One hundred events were included through simple availability, from DOC modules of Family Care Centers at Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico. By means of direct observation and user survey through a previously developed check list in accordance to NOM.014, SSA-2 1994 classifying as attached or not attached to the Standard in the Technical Procedure, Registry and Affectivity chapters.
Results: A 60% attachment to the established standard was found on Technical topic, Registry 47%, affectivity 55%; -11% of participants do not contemplate returning to practice the test.
Conclusions: Standard Compliance is low. It is strongly recommended to educate, to train and top supervise the operative areas properly on this activity, strengthening the detected strategic-important issues. Having 11% of customers reluctant to return constitutes a risk group and potential promoters against DOC Prevention Program.
