Abstract

Cervical cancer can arise from a persistent infection with Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which can be avoided through early detection by pap smear screening. Having adequate knowledge about cervical cancer is crucial for encouraging participation in pap smear tests, which can detect non-cancerous or precancerous changes before they progress. This cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study aimed to assess knowledge levels about cervical cancer and their correlation with pap smear results among women of reproductive age in Jakarta, Bogor, and Bekasi (23–50 years). A total of 133 participants underwent a structured questionnaire for assessing knowledge and a pap smear test for evaluating cervical health. The pap smear results showed that 80% were normal, 6% had atypical cells without malignancy, and 14% showed inflammatory lesions. A Chi-square test revealed a significant association between knowledge levels and pap smear outcomes. These findings provide valuable insights for healthcare stakeholders to develop effective health promotion strategies that increase pap smear coverage and encourage early detection of cervical cancer.

Abstract

The incidence of hypertension increases with age. Alterations in function and structure in peripheral vascular system are thought to be the cause of high prevalence of hypertension in the elderly. Holistic, patient-centered management of hypertension is needed to prevent deaths from heart failure. This community service aimed to find out the level of knowledge about hypertension in residents of Jembatan Lima Sub-district, Tambora District, West Jakarta. Using a questionnaire, the level of knowledge was studied in 48 participants cross-sectionally. Blood pressure measurements were also carried out to describe the incidence of hypertension in that area. There was a low level of knowledge about hypertension among participants and this had an impact on increasing the risk of hypertension. Fifty-two percent of participants had normal blood pressure, whereas 48% participants were diagnosed as hypertension. Based on demographic data of participants obtained during the event, age, sex, education level and type of work were significantly increasing the risk of hypertension. Results from this community service conclude that the lack of knowledge of hypertension especially in the elderly can increase the risk of hypertension. In order to improve the quality of managing hypertension in the elderly in Jembatan Lima Village, Tambora District, West Jakarta, it is recommended that counseling and discussion groups to be held annually, especially among the elderly.
