Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku wanita dewasa muda terhadap kanker leher rahim. Survei yang melibatkan 5.423 perempuan di Asia dan dilakukan pada sembilan negara termasuk Indonesia, menunjukkan hanya 2% perempuan yang mengetahui Human Papiloma Virus (HPV) merupakan penyebab kanker leher rahim. Rendahnya tingkat pengetahuan diduga memperburuk kondisi dan kasus kanker leher rahim terus meningkat setiap tahunnya. Menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode survei, penelitian ini dilakukan di kota Banda Aceh dengan karakteristik responden adalah wanita dewasa muda, berusia 22-30 tahun dan belum aktif secara seksual. Pengambilan data menggunakan kuesioner tentang pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku terhadap kanker leher rahim. Responden dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 269 orang. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa, 1) pengetahuan perempuan terhadap kanker leher rahim cukup karena tidak terpapar dengan informasi tentang kanker leher rahim secara maksimal, 2) sikap responden terhadap kanker leher rahim tergolong positif. Hal ini dapat disebabkan oleh pengetahuan yang cukup, namun perilaku terhadap kanker leher rahim belum sesuai dengan perilaku pencegahan kanker leher rahim.Downloads
