Cervical cancer is second leading cause of mortality among women.
Cervical cancer is caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection.
70% of patients with cervical cancer come to health services in
advanced staged, even though if symptoms are detected earlier. 43%
of cancer disease can be prevented and ⅓ of cases can be cured when
the symptoms are detected early. The simplest early detection, which
effective and efficient for detection of cervical cancer is Visual
Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) test. However, almost 50% of
patients who were diagnosed cervical cancer never had VIA test
before. This study aims to analyze factors related to behavior towards
VIA test among women of childbearing age and in elderly women.
Case control study was conducted among 181 participants based on
the inclusion criteria of women aged >15 years old and married or
ever had sexual intercourse. Rasch model test, t-test, chi square test
and logistic regression were applied to analyze the data. The analysis
results showed that there was a significant relationship between the
age at first marriage, marriage frequency and knowledge with
behavior towards VIA test. An individual’s chance of not having VIA
test by criteria of first married age of 1 time, having low motivation and less knowledge was 94%. It can
be concluded that knowledge was dominant factor related behavior
towards VIA test.
