Abstract

IVA examination is intended for women of childbearing age for cervical cancer screening. Data at the Gayamsari Health Center from January to July 2022 states that only 15% of the target of 100% of women of childbearing age have not had an IVA examination. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the behavior of IVA examinations of women of childbearing age in Kaligawe Flats. This study used an analytical observational method with a cross sectional design. The study was conducted in Kaligawe Flats, in December 2022. The research subjects were taken by cluster sampling as many as 106 subjects. Knowledge and attitude of IVA examination were assessed using a questionnaire that had been used before. The majority of respondents were in the age range of 20–35 years (50%), housewife (55.5%), high school education level (51%), medium knowledge of IVA examination (51.9%), supportive attitude toward IVA examination (53.8%), far access from health care center (51.9%), positive family support (53.8%), and have never done an IVA examination (91.5%). The majority of respondents have never done an IVA examination, this may be due to remote access from health care center, lack of information received regarding IVA examination procedure, and less of friend support. However, with a supportive attitude it will be easier to invite women to have an IVA examination.
