Description
Summary:Objective: To establish the relationship between the knowledge and skills of health personnel in taking samples for the identitication of papillomavirus DNA. Methods: Cross-sectional study, conducted between March and June of 2017. Population of 313 people, the probabilistic sample was calculated considering a r = 0.306 expected, 95% confidence, and power of 90%, which equated to 90 workers from 23 health centers. A knowledge test and checklist were administered to evaluate sampling skills, with the hybrid capture method (HPV-CH2 test). For data analysis, Pearson's and the ANOVA correlation were used. Results: A correlation between knowledge and skills was found (r=0.438) (p
