Health\u2010care providers can influence women's screening behaviours, and their lack of recommendations for screening can be one of the barriers that affect women's participation in screening programmes. This study aims to assess the health\u2010care provider's perception around cervical cancer screening. In\u2010depth, face\u2010to\u2010face interviews were conducted with 16 health\u2010care providers, from both public and private sectors in Az\u2010Zawiya city, Libya, between February and July of 2014. The interviews were recorded and transcribed, then analysed using thematic analysis. Our findings suggest that health\u2010care providers did not provide sufficient information regarding cervical cancer screening for women who attend health\u2010care facilities. The results highlight the role played by health\u2010care professionals in motivating women to attend cervical cancer screening programs, and the need for health education of health\u2010care providers to offer a precious advice regarding the screening. On the other hand, health\u2010care providers highlighted that implementation of reminding system of cervical cancer screening will support them to improve screening attendance. In addition, health\u2010care providers stressed the necessity for educational and awareness campaigns of cervical cancer screening among Libyan women.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ecc.12537","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,28]],"date-time":"2016-06-28T07:33:57Z","timestamp":1467099237000},"page":"864-870","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Health\u2010care providers' perceptions, attitudes towards and recommendation practice of cervical cancer screening"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"N.Ab.","family":"Hweissa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social and Preventive Medicine  Faculty of Medicine University of Malaya Kuala Lumpur Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.N.W.","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Allied and Public Health  Faculty of Medical Science Anglia Ruskin University Cambridge UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.T.","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Population Health (CePH)  Department of Social and Preventive Medicine  Faculty of Medicine University of Malaya Kuala Lumpur Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","first-page":"1359","article-title":"Enhancement of the cervical cancer screening program in Malaysia: A qualitative study","volume":"11","author":"Abdullah F.","year":"2010","journal-title":"Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7314\/APJCP.2016.17.2.625"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/07399330490458079"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","first-page":"173","article-title":"Case studies on decision for cervical cancer screening among working women","volume":"4","author":"Baharom A.","year":"2008","journal-title":"The Journal of Human Resource and Adult Learning"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","unstructured":"Baker S.
