The method used in this research is analytic cross-sectional with a total sample of 77 respondents.

The statistical test with Chi-square done on SPSS shows the p-value = 0,03, proving that the association of the mother's knowledge regarding cervical cancer with the performing Pap smear screening test is significant.
