Military members are often transient due to deployments and change of duty stations, impacting timely follow\u2010up care for treatable health conditions. There has been minimal research on challenges or strategies in preventive health screening and follow\u2010up for US military women.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The purpose of this qualitative research study was to describe US Navy women's experiences with abnormal cervical cancer screenings requiring colposcopic follow\u2010up care. Ship\u2010 and shored\u2010based women receiving care at a military colposcopy clinic completed interviews about their experience. Two forms of narrative analysis, Labov's sociolinguistic structural analysis and Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis, were employed to gain a more robust understanding of the women's experiences.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The sample was comprised of 26 women (16 ship\u2010based, 10 shore\u2010based). Five themes were identified: 1) It's like this bombshell (initial abnormal results notification); 2) I didn't understand (self\u2010discovery process); 3) Freaked (emotional toll); 4) It's kind of like this back and forth (scheduling and navigating care); and 5) It really opened my eyes (lessons learned).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The women's stories highlighted some issues unique to military health care, such as operational demands and follow\u2010up care; other issues are likely common for most women learning about an abnormal cervical cancer screening result. Areas important for practice and future research include improving notification practices, providing information, understanding\u00a0women's fear, and continuity of care. Research exploring educational initiatives and self\u2010management practices are critical within military populations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jmwh.12378","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,6]],"date-time":"2016-02-06T00:29:18Z","timestamp":1454718558000},"page":"249-256","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["US Navy Women's Experience of an Abnormal Cervical Cancer Screening"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"61","author":[{"given":"Lisa A.","family":"Braun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Holly Powell","family":"Kennedy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lois S.","family":"Sadler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jane","family":"Dixon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"Womack","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Candy","family":"Wilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","unstructured":"Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.
