Abstract

Background: Among women worldwide, cervical cancer ranks among the top causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality. One key tactic for lowering the death rate from cervical cancer is early identification. Adequate knowledge and positive attitudes toward early detection may encourage women to participate in cervical cancer screening.Aims: The purpose of this study was to ascertain the relationship between women of reproductive age's knowledge and attitudes toward early identification of cervical cancer.Methods: From August 9 to 20, 2025, a cross-sectional analytical observational study was carried out at the Panteraja Community Health Center's operational area in Indonesia. Ninety-one women of reproductive age were chosen to participate in the study. A systematic questionnaire was used to gather data. The relationship between knowledge and attitudes toward early identification of cervical cancer was investigated using univariate and bivariate analyzes as well as the Chi-square test.Result: The findings demonstrated a statistically significant correlation (p = 0.003) between attitudes and knowledge regarding early identification of cervical cancer. With a p-value of 0.003, the analysis likewise showed a significant correlation with attitudes. These results suggest that attitudes and knowledge have a significant role in women's comprehension and reaction to early detection of cervical cancer.Conclusion: Among women of reproductive age, attitudes and knowledge on early detection of cervical cancer are strongly correlated. To encourage women to take part in cervical cancer prevention and screening programs, it is advised to improve health education and raise awareness of the significance of early detection.

Abstract

Background: Dyspepsia is a common upper gastrointestinal disorder, and the success of its non-pharmacological management depends heavily on patient adherence to the diet. One-way and rushed education risks leaving patients with a lack of understanding and motivation to adhere to the diet. Objective: Analyzing the effect of therapeutic communication-based education on dietary compliance in dyspepsia patients in the inpatient ward. Methods: This quantitative study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 43 dyspepsia patients in the internal medicine inpatient ward of Yuliddin Away Regional General Hospital, selected by purposive sampling in January–March 2026. Dietary compliance (accuracy of schedule, type, and portion of food) was measured using a questionnaire before education and 3 days after education, which followed the pre-orientation, orientation, work, and termination phases. Compliance categories consisted of non-compliant, moderately compliant, and compliant. Data were not normally distributed (Shapiro-Wilk test, p < 0.05), so they were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test (α = 0.05). Results: Non-compliant patients decreased from 23 (53.5%) to 3 (7.0%), while compliant patients increased from 5 (11.6%) to 29 (67.4%). The mean compliance score increased from 14.28 ± 3.12 to 22.84 ± 2.65 (Z = -5.41, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Therapeutic communication-based education significantly improved dietary compliance in dyspepsia patients. This approach can be considered as part of patient education procedures in inpatient settings, with the caveat that findings need to be confirmed in a design with a control group.
