| Abstract (English): | Introduction: Cervical cancer, according to estimates from the Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN), was the third cause of cancer and the fourth cause of mortality associated with cancer in Colombia during 2020. Despite multiple screening and detection interventions in the country, The expected results have not been obtained in terms of a decrease in cases of cervical cancer and an increase in the early diagnosis of premalignant lesions. Objective: To determine the knowledge of health personnel about precancerous lesions of the cervix, according to the Colombian clinical practice guide, in a low-complexity State Social Enterprise in the department of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Materials and methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study in 42 health professionals, made up of doctors, professional nurses and nursing assistants from a low-complexity hospital entity in the department of Valle del Cauca, through a self-administered virtual survey. With the results obtained, univariate analyzes of the included variables were carried out, and using frequency tables, bar graphs and cakes, the behavior of the analysis variables was described. Results: 42 participants were included, with an average age of 34 years; 57% were nursing assistants and professional nurses. The average work experience in years was 9. 54.8% of participants had received training to perform cervical cancer screening. Knowledge of risk factors is significantly affected by the occupation of health personnel. When evaluating the screening and diagnosis of precancerous lesions of the cervix, it was found that most respondents know that screening is related to their detection. In relation to treatment, between 79 and 100% of professionals know the therapeutic alternatives. Regarding the behavior of health personnel regarding the results of the screening and the subsequent management approach, the doctors had a higher percentage of overall correctness. Conclusion: The study shows that there were misconceptions and inadequate approaches among the health professionals surveyed. It is necessary for low-complexity health entities to develop and disseminate cervical cancer prevention guidelines and health education materials to ensure standardization of the quality of services provided by health workers.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Introducción: El cáncer de cuello uterino según las estimaciones del Global cáncer observatory (GLOBOCAN) fue la tercera causa de cáncer y la cuarta causa de mortalidad asociada a cáncer en Colombia durante el 2020. A pesar de las múltiples intervenciones de tamizaje y detección en el país, no se han obtenido los resultados esperados en términos de la disminución de casos de cáncer de cérvix e incremento en el diagnóstico temprano de las lesiones premalignas. Objetivo: Determinar el conocimiento del personal de salud sobre las lesiones precancerosas de cérvix, según la guía de práctica clínica colombiana, en una Empresa Social del Estado de baja complejidad del departamento del valle del cauca, Colombia. Materiales y métodos: Estudió descriptivo de corte transversal en 42 profesionales de la salud, conformado por médicos, enfermeras profesionales y auxiliares de enfermería de una entidad hospitalaria de baja complejidad del departamento del Valle del Cauca, mediante una encuesta virtual autoadministrada. Con los resultados obtenidos se realizó análisis univariado de las variables incluidas, y empleando tablas de frecuencias, gráficos de barras y tortas se describió el comportamiento de las variables de análisis. Resultados: Se incluyeron 42 participantes, con una edad media de 34 años; el 57 % eran auxiliares de enfermería y enfermeras profesionales. El promedio de experiencia laboral en años fue de 9. El 54.8% de los participantes había recibió capacitación para realizar pruebas de detección del cáncer de cuello uterino. El conocimiento de los factores de riesgo se asoció significativamente con la ocupación del personal de salud. Al evaluar el cribado y diagnóstico de las lesiones precancerosas de cérvix, se encontró que la mayoría de los encuestados conoce que el cribado se relaciona con su detección. En relación con el tratamiento, entre el 79 y el 100 % de los profesionales conoce las alternativas terapéuticas. En cuanto a la conducta del personal de salud frente a los resultados del tamizaje y el abordaje de manejo subsecuente, los médicos tuvieron mayor porcentaje de acierto global. Conclusión: El estudio demuestra que hubo conceptos erróneos y abordajes inadecuados entre los profesionales de la salud encuestados. Es necesario que las entidades de salud de baja complejidad desarrollen y difundan directrices de prevención del cáncer de cuello uterino y materiales de educación sanitaria para garantizar la estandarización de la calidad de los servicios proporcionados por los trabajadores de salud.

| Abstract (Portuguese): | Introdução: O câncer do colo do útero, de acordo com estimativas do Observatório Global do Câncer (GLOBOCAN), foi a terceira principal causa de câncer e a quarta principal causa de mortalidade relacionada ao câncer na Colômbia em 2020. Apesar das múltiplas intervenções de rastreamento e detecção no país, não foram obtidos os resultados esperados em termos de redução dos casos de câncer cervical e aumento do diagnóstico precoce de lesões pré-malignas. Objetivo: Determinar o conhecimento do pessoal de saúde sobre lesões pré-cancerosas do colo do útero, de acordo com as diretrizes colombianas de prática clínica, em uma Empresa Social del Estado de baixa complexidade no departamento de Valle del Cauca, Colômbia. Materiais e métodos: Estudo descritivo de corte transversal com 42 profissionais de saúde, incluindo médicos, enfermeiros profissionais e auxiliares de enfermagem de um hospital de baixa complexidade no departamento de Valle del Cauca, usando uma pesquisa virtual autoadministrada. Foi realizada uma análise univariada das variáveis incluídas com os resultados obtidos e, por meio de tabelas de frequência, gráficos de barras e gráficos de pizza, foi descrito o comportamento das variáveis de análise. Resultados: Quarenta e dois participantes foram incluídos, com idade média de 34 anos; 57% eram auxiliares de enfermagem e enfermeiros profissionais. A média de experiência profissional em anos foi de 9. 54,8% dos participantes haviam recebido treinamento em triagem de câncer de colo do útero. O conhecimento dos fatores de risco foi significativamente associado à ocupação da equipe de saúde. Ao avaliar a triagem e o diagnóstico de lesões cervicais pré-cancerosas, a maioria dos entrevistados estava ciente de que a triagem está relacionada à detecção de lesões cervicais pré-cancerosas. Com relação ao tratamento, 79-100% dos profissionais estão cientes das alternativas terapêuticas. Em relação ao comportamento da equipe de saúde em relação aos resultados do rastreamento e à abordagem de gerenciamento subsequente, os médicos tiveram uma porcentagem maior de acerto geral. Conclusão: O estudo demonstra que havia concepções errôneas e abordagens inadequadas entre os profissionais de saúde pesquisados. É necessário que as entidades de saúde de baixa complexidade desenvolvam e disseminem diretrizes de prevenção do câncer do colo do útero e materiais de educação em saúde para garantir a padronização da qualidade dos serviços prestados pelos profissionais de saúde.
