Abstract
Cervical cancer, which primarily affects women between the ages of 30 and 50, ranks as the second most lethal disease following breast cancer. This disease is correlated with engaging in unprotected sexual activity, individuals who smoke often, and individuals with compromised immune systems. The study revealed that a mere 30% of individuals diagnosed with cervical cancer are identified at an early stage. Individuals who have encountered cervical cancer typically present with an advanced stage of the disease. Efforts aimed at enhancing public awareness and engagement in IVA examinations are primarily facilitated by socialization and health education initiatives. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of audiovisual media on the level of interest among women of reproductive age in IVA screening. The research design employed for this study was a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-post-test design. The study population consisted of women of reproductive age who had not undergone screening for IVA. A total of 50 moms were included in the study utilising a complete sampling technique. The study instrument employs a Likert scale for data collection. The Wilcoxon signed ranks test was conducted to examine the hypothesis, with a resulting ρ-value of 0.000, which is less than the predetermined significance level α of 0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a significant influence of audiovisual media on the interest of women of reproductive age in IVA screening. The incorporation of novel digital technologies, such as audiovisual media, can be regarded as a strategy for promoting health, particularly in the context of cervical cancer screening.
