Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide. Due to advances in early diagnosis and treatment, the number of survivors of cancer has increased over the past 50 years. Therefore, the current standard of care for the detection of cervical neoplasm, a Papanicolaou smear and then a colposcopic biopsy, requires a high degree of diagnostic accuracy. In particular, the fear of developing cancer after cancer screening tests is becoming an increasingly significant problem, with an impact on psychosocial health in individuals. For people who are afraid of cancer, meditation and awareness training can make it easier for emotions to self-regulate in times of distress and pain. This study aim to conducted to determine the impact of the Awareness-Based Initiation Program on cancer fear and level of awareness in women undergoing colonoscopy.
