Abstract

Introduction: Early detection of cervical cancer by VIA test has been shown to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer by 34-80%. The early detection of cervical cancer is delayed due to a lack of knowledge regarding efforts to treat and prevent cervical cancer. A lack of knowledge about cervical cancer also reduces the urge to do VIA tests. Objective: To analyze the research results over the last ten years regarding the relationship between knowledge level and motivation to carry out the VIA test. Method: The method used in this research is the literature review method, in which the researcher critically examines the ideas contained in several studies. The tracing method was carried out using PICO analysis, namely women of childbearing age 30-50 years old; the intervention was the level of knowledge possessed by women of childbearing age regarding cervical cancer between those who had sufficient knowledge and those who did not, the results were related to the motivation of women of chil dbearing age in carrying out VIA test. This article was searched on several scientific databases such as ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Result: From the analysis of several journal articles, there is a relationship between the level of knowledge of cervical cancer and the motivation for VIA tests in women of childbearing age. Conclusion: This literature review concludes that the knowledge level significantly affects the motivation to perform a VIA test. The higher the level of knowledge, the higher the motivation related to the importance of early detection of VIA to prevent cervical cancer.
