ABSTRACT

 

Background: Cervical cancer is the second cancer threatening Indonesian women's health with high morbidity and mortality rates. However, women's intention in cervical cancer screening is still low for various reasons.

Purpose: This research aims to determine the factors influencing the intention of women of childbearing age in screening for cervical cancer based on the theory of planned behavior.

Methods: This study is observational with an analytical study type using a cross-sectional design. Forty-four women who were suitable for inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study. The study was conducted in March 2023, and data was analyzed through a Chi-Square statistical test using a computer program.

Result: There is a significant relationship between subjective norms (p = 0.036) and perceptions of behavioral control (p = 0.002) with the intention of women skrinning cervical cancer. At the same time, there is no relationship between attitudes (p = 0.180) and intentions of women of childbearing age in cervical cancer screening.

Conclution: There is correlation between subjective norms and perceptions of behavior control with the intention of women skrinning cervical cancer.

Suggestion: Efforts are needed to improve women's attitudes by involving influential people to increase women's intentions to do cervical cancer screening.
