<![CDATA[Cervical cancer is one of the cancers with high incidence and mortality rates in Indonesia. Early detection is a crucial strategy to reduce cervical cancer-related mortality. Adequate knowledge regarding cervical cancer and its early detection plays an important role in shaping positive attitudes toward undergoing screening. However, awareness and participation in early detection among late adolescents, particularly female university students, remain low. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge and attitudes toward early detection of cervical cancer among female students at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in November 2024. The study involved 100 female students aged 18–24 years from Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed that 50% of respondents had good knowledge and 50% had poor knowledge regarding cervical cancer detection, while 79% demonstrated a positive attitude and 21% demonstrated a negative attitude toward early detection. No significant relationship was found between knowledge and attitudes toward early detection of cervical cancer (p = 0.624; p > 0.05). It can be concluded that knowledge was not associated with attitudes toward early detection of cervical cancer among female students at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia.]]>
