Abstract

Cervical cancer can arise from a persistent infection with Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which can be avoided through early detection by pap smear screening. Having adequate knowledge about cervical cancer is crucial for encouraging participation in pap smear tests, which can detect non-cancerous or precancerous changes before they progress. This cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study aimed to assess knowledge levels about cervical cancer and their correlation with pap smear results among women of reproductive age in Jakarta, Bogor, and Bekasi (23–50 years). A total of 133 participants underwent a structured questionnaire for assessing knowledge and a pap smear test for evaluating cervical health. The pap smear results showed that 80% were normal, 6% had atypical cells without malignancy, and 14% showed inflammatory lesions. A Chi-square test revealed a significant association between knowledge levels and pap smear outcomes. These findings provide valuable insights for healthcare stakeholders to develop effective health promotion strategies that increase pap smear coverage and encourage early detection of cervical cancer.
