Abstract

Cervical cancer is cancer with the highest prevalence in Indonesia women. Early detection of cervical cancer using Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) method is the government's priority prevention program in controlling cervical cancer, but the coverage of the examination still low. This study aims to identify factors related to early detection behavior of cervical cancer by the VIA method in women aged 30-50 years. A cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2017 to June 2018. The subjects of 180 women were selected from using systematic random sampling. Data was collected through interviews using questionnaires and analyzed using the chi-square test. The analysis result showed education (p= 0,026), knowledge (p= 0.001), and attitude (p= 0.021) was associated with early detection of cervical cancer VIA method. Routine socialization and spreading information should be done to increase knowledge and improve women who do early detection of cervical cancer with VIA method.
