Abstract

Introduction: cervical cancer is still a women’s health problem with a high incidence and mortality rate. Nearly 70% were found to be in advanced stages. The acetic acid visual inspection (IVA) method is a low cost method aimed at detecting cervical cancer. The aim of the research was to determine the relationship between husband’s knowledge and support and the participation of women of childbearing age in carrying out Acetic acid visual inspection (IVA) in Surabaya. Methods: Analytical observational research design with a cross-sectional approach. The WUS population is 923 people in the range 1 March – 20 May 2023. The sampling technique used accidental sampling for 140 respondents. The research instruments were questionnaires and observation sheets. Data were analyzed using the Chi Square test. Results: The statistical results using the Chi Square Test between knowledge and participation of women of childbearing age in carrying out the Acetic Acid Visual Inspection (IVA) examination were found to be ρ = 0.000 (ρ<α=0.05) with an Odds Ratio (OR) value of 8.696, and the statistical results between support husbands with the participation of women of childbearing age carrying out Visual Inspection of Acetic Acid (IVA) examinations obtained ρ = 0.001 (ρ<α=0.05) with an Odds Ratio (OR) value of 8, 111. This shows that there is a relationship between husband's knowledge and support and Acetic Acid Visual Inspection (IVA) examination behavior in women of childbearing age in Surabaya.
