Abstract

One of the biggest causes of death for women in Indonesia is cervical cancer. The incidence of cervical cancer in Indonesia was 0.8% or 23.4/100,000 population. Delay in early detection is the main cause of the high incidence of cervical cancer in Indonesia. Patients with cervical cancer are generally detected at an advanced stage. This is caused by the awareness of WRA to carry out early detection of cervical cancer through IVA examination which is still very low. To find out the factors that influence interest of of women of reproductive age (WRA) in the Acetic Acid Visual Inspection (IVA) examination during the Covid-19 pandemic in the working area of the Kebun Tebu Health Center, West Lampung Regency. This was a cross sectional study. The population in this study was 459 women who were taken from the target number of IVA examinations at the working area of Health Center of Kebun Tebu  in 2022.
