Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer screening remains unsatisfactory in some regions due to hindrances. This study aims to explore fundamental elements in training patient navigators and their involvement in promoting screening knowledge and practices. METHODS: This systematic review study included only English published articles between 2014 and 2019 from PubMed/Medline, EBSCO, Science Direct, and Wiley online library. RESULTS: Healthcare professionals trained patient navigators in 3 days regarding screening basics, along with group discussions and role-plays. They delivered effective health education and navigation assistance. CONCLUSION: The group education session facilitated by patient navigators, coupled with navigation care, resulted in a high screening rate.
