Abstract

Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women worldwide, including in Indonesia. Although it can be prevented through cervical cancer screening such as Pap smears and HPV tests, many women, including students, are unaware of the importance of routine screening. Universities, as educational institutions with a significant female student population in a vulnerable age group, play a crucial role in raising awareness and encouraging participation in cervical cancer screenings. However, several challenges exist, including low awareness among students about cervical cancer, social stigma, limited access to medical services, and the lack of integration of health education into the Curriculum.This policy brief aims to provide policy recommendations that universities can implement to address these issues. Key recommendations include integrating health education on cervical cancer into the Curriculum, collaborating with health institutions to provide screening services on campus, and developing sensitive and inclusive awareness campaigns. By increasing knowledge, reducing stigma, and improving access to services, this policy is expected to enhance student participation in cervical cancer screening, reduce mortality rates from cervical cancer, and foster a healthier reproductive health culture among students.These policies promise positive impacts on student health and have the potential to enhance the University's reputation as an institution that cares about its students' well-being. Successful implementation of this policy will reduce the prevalence of cervical cancer among young women and improve the overall quality of life for students.

Abstract

Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer death in women, especially in developing countries. Early detection through screening is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality, but the main challenge is to identify individuals at high risk efficiently. This study aims to build a machine learning prediction model to classify cervical cancer biopsy results based on available risk factors. Objectives: This study aims to build a cervical cancer risk prediction model using a machine learning algorithm based on available risk factors. The public dataset "Cervical Cancer Risk Classification" includes demographic data, sexual behavior, contraceptive use, and medical test results. Three machine learning algorithms are applied: Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Model evaluation uses accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC). The Decision Tree model performed best with an F1 Score of 0.956 and MCC of 0.639. Significant contributing risk factors are age, age at first sexual intercourse, Schiller test results, cytology, and number of pregnancies. Machine learning has great potential to improve the effectiveness of cervical cancer screening. Data balancing techniques and ensemble methods are recommended to increase accuracy in detecting positive cases.

Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide, with persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection (types 16 and 18) accounting for approximately 70% of cases. Despite the availability of HPV vaccination and screening programs, Indonesia has a low screening coverage rate (12%). Female nurses and midwives play a crucial role in cervical cancer prevention, yet their knowledge, perceptions, and screening practices remain underexplored. Objective: This study aims to assess the knowledge, perceptions, and screening practices of female nurses and midwives in Jepara District, Indonesia, and identify key barriers to participation in screening programs. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted at RSUD Dr. Rehatta, Jepara, involving 74 registered female nurses and midwives. Data were collected using a validated self-administered questionnaire, and descriptive analysis was performed using SPSS version 20. Results: The majority of respondents were aged 20–30 years (37.1%) and over 40 years (37.1%), with 87.1% married. While 98.6% were aware of cervical cancer and 89.2% identified HPV as its primary cause, only 35.3% knew the recommended screening frequency. Although 94.7% recognized cervical cancer as preventable, only 40.0% perceived themselves at risk, and merely 32.0% had undergone screening. The primary barriers included fear of diagnosis (74.7%), embarrassment (56.0%), and misconceptions regarding the necessity of screening in the absence of symptoms (54.7%). Conclusion: Despite high awareness of cervical cancer, screening participation remains low due to psychological, social, and cultural barriers. Structured education, mandatory training, and targeted awareness programs are essential to improving screening uptake among healthcare professionals.

Abstract

The rate of births with cesarean section delivery in Indonesia is increasing. Along with the increasing rate, various clinical methods are used to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality, one of which is the Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean Section (ERACS). ERACS aims to speed up recovery, reduce postoperative complications, shorten length of stay (LOS) and lower patient care operational costs of cesarean section. The purpose of this study is to compare operational costs and LOS of cesarean section patients with ERACS and non-ERACS methods.The reseach used was case-control study which was carried out at RSUD dr. Rehatta Kelet from October-December 2022. This study involved 71 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Data were obtained from the patients’ medical records. The data were analyzed by mann Whitney Test using SPSS software. The result shows that the difference in LOS and operational costs using ERACS and non-ERACS was statistically significant at P=0.0001. The study concludes that ERACS method reduces LOS and operational costs compared to non-ERACS methods. The authors recommend that the association of obstetricians and gynaecologists should encourage its members to apply EARCS whenever possible.
