Background: Cervical cancer is a certain health problem among Thai women. Although cervical screening can be done to reduce cervical cancer problems, Thai women came to cervical cancer screening services less than the criteria set by the Ministry of Public Health. Objective: This study was to investigate the effect of the program of applying protection motivation theory and social support on the receiving of cervical cancer screening among women aged 30 to 60 years at Bannongkrod Health Center, Saklake District, Phichit Province. Methods: In this quasi-experimental research study, we divided the participants into 2 groups, 42 participants each: the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group participated in the program of applying protection motivation theory and social support for cervical cancer screening. The control group received a common health program from public health technical officer. Data were analyzed and expressed as percentage, mean and standard deviation. Differences between mean values were tested by the independent t-test. The statistically significant was set at 0.05. Results: Findings showed that the experimental group had significantly higher mean scores of perceived severity of cervical cancer, perceived of risk of developing cervical cancer, self-efficacy, response efficacy of cervical cancer screening, and social support to cervical cancer screening than the mean scores before the experiment. The experimental group also had significantly higher scores than the control group at p <0.05. Forty women in the experimental group (95.24%) were willing to receive the Pap smear screening test, while only 25 women (59.52%) in the control group were willing to receive the test. The statistical difference between the two groups of cervical cancer screening services was significantly different. Conclusion: Implementation of the program of applying protection motivation theory and social support for cervical cancer screening among women aged 30 to 60 years can make the experimental group more likely to receive cervical cancer screening services.
