Abstract

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is the most frequent head and neck cancer. The incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma significantly increased. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is associated with risk factors linked to a lifestyle that usually begins in adolescence and young adulthood, such as undergraduate students. This research identifies undergraduate students' knowledge, attitude, and behavior about nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The study used a descriptive study with a cluster sampling method. As many as 100 undergraduate students from 8 faculties in Tanjungpura University filled out a questionnaire and analyzed using a statistical program with a descriptive statistical test. As much as  82% of respondents had received information about nasopharyngeal carcinoma from various sources. Knowledge was divided into 3 categories of levels, namely good (76-100% correct), fair (56-75% correct), and poor (56%). At the same time, attitude and behavior were divided into positive (score20) and negative (score20). The test results showed that the level of knowledge of the undergraduate students of 52% was good, the attitude was 100% positive, and the behavior was 100% positive. Therefore, undergraduate students at Tanjungpura University had good knowledge, a positive attitude, and positive behavior toward nasopharyngeal carcinoma. This study implies that adequate information is important in determining knowledge, attitudes, and behavior towards nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
