Abstract

Cervical cancer poses a significant health risk, especially for women aged 15-49, with high prevalence and mortality rates in Indonesia. Early detection is crucial but often hindered by a lack of awareness and unhealthy lifestyles. This study investigated the relationship between knowledge and attitudes towards early cervical cancer detection among women of childbearing age at the Mutiara Delta Clinic. Using a cross-sectional design, 30 respondents were sampled purposively and data were collected via questionnaires. Analysis with the chi-square test revealed a significant relationship (p=0.022) between knowledge and attitudes towards early detection. Enhanced knowledge and positive attitudes increased willingness for early detection, underscoring the need for health promotion initiatives and family support in improving screening uptake.

Highlights:

  1. Significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes towards early cervical cancer detection.
  2. Enhanced knowledge and positive attitudes increase willingness for early detection.
  3. Health promotion initiatives and family support are crucial for improving screening uptake.
