Women 's Health Promotion

Evidence Based Treatment of Cervical Cancer in Women and the Role of NPs in Women 's Health Promotion

Abstract This research deals with women 's health promotion in general and the treatment and health promotion of cervical cancer due to HPV in particular . It has been found by the United Nations that all women related health promotions are still male centric and dominated . These programs do not consider women as having specific healthcare needs and support . The latest Bangkok conference in 2005 repeated the concerns of

the 1995 reports submitted during the Beijing conference on women 's health promotions . This only showed that continued indifference towards women 's health even after years of attempts at change by women 's advocacy groups , healthcare practitioners , and other concerned groups It is paradoxical that even women decision makers also happen to ignore this dichotomy because the greater impact of the persistent lack of specific health promotion for women is suffered by the majority population of less privileged women across the globe . In terms of a specific health promotion issue , cervical cancer caused by HPV has been found to have protracted progress . It can affect the health of women at later ages after years of dormancy . A new vaccine Gardasil has been introduced in June 2006 , which claims to prevent HPV infection if taken before prior engagement in sexual intercourse . Since more women contract cervical cancer each year , the discovery of a preventive vaccine is not sufficient alone in preventing the incidence of the disease at epidemic proportions . Through information dissemination , informed and responsible sexual practice , and regular screening from the early ages onwards will help reduce the burden of the disease to women around the world

Women 's health promotion came into focus by the world organizations pursuant to WHO 's declaration of Health for all by 2000 in 1985 . At that time , exclusive data on women 's health issues were not available . Most of the researches on diseases and epidemiological studies were based on male participants . As efficacy of drugs for diseases relevant to women were not available as part of clinical trials , use of such drugs for women 's diseases was based on studies conducted on male patients without any modification due to gender differences (Mongella , 1995
