Cervical cancer screening allows for the early diagnosis of aberrant cervical cells, such as precancerous cervical lesions, as well as cervical malignancies in the initial stages. Cervical screening has been found to minimize the mobility and mortality of cervical cancer. Cervical screening is not widely practiced in underdeveloped nations for a variety of reasons and barriers. The study aims to explore the perception and experience of the Nigerian students in Sunderland regarding the practice of cervical cancer screening. A qualitative research approach was used in this study using purposive sampling to select the interviewers who are Nigerians. This study was conducted with eight female postgraduate Nigeria students at the University of Sunderland, United Kingdom. Semi-structure in-depth interview was carried out under the qualitative study. The interview was conducted face to face using audio recording, transcribed, and coded for analysis. Finding from this study showed elevated level of awareness of cervical cancer screening as evidence by knowledge displayed by participants and important of the cervical screening to the participants. The level of awareness differs based on their opinion from the experience. This study also highlighted the socio-cultural restrains, structural and economical constrains that served as barriers to the practice of cervical cancer screening in Nigeria. This is revealed by the participant’s feedback to the interview question on the barriers and facilitators to the practice of cervical cancer screening. This implies that these barriers limit the practice of cervical cancer screening. Cervical cancer is a global issue that claims the lives of women. Cervical cancer screening is a good innovation which helps to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer. Recommendation was given to public health, nurses, federal government, and organizations on how to increase awareness and eliminate barriers to the practice of cervical cancer screening.
