Abstract

Cervical cancer is a serious problem in Indonesia. Many cases and deaths occur because early detection is less than optimal. To overcome this, WHO recommends Visual Inspection With Acetic Acid (VIA) as an effective screening method for detecting pre-cancerous lesions early. However, unfortunately, the coverage of VIA inspections is still low in several areas, including in West Java, such as Depok City, Karawang Regency, and Bekasi Regency. Therefore, this problem is interesting to study. This study aims to determine the Knowledge, Attitude, Motivation, and Husband Support in Women of childbearing age with an Interest in Checking for Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) at TPMB Bidan R Cisalak Pasar Cimanggis Depok Year 2022. The method in this study used quantitative research using descriptive analytic methods with a cross-sectional approach. The sample used amounted to 32 people. Data analysis used the chi–square test statistic. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and support from husbands of women of childbearing age by conducting VIA checking. However, there is no relationship between the level of attitude and motivation of women of childbearing age by carrying out a VIA check.
