Age Distance to Health Facilities Husband’s Support VIA (Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid) Women of Reproductive Age

Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer is a malignancy that originates in the cells lining the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects the uterus to the vagina. The primary cause of cervical cancer is persistent infection with Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sexual activity.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the factors influencing the interest of women of reproductive age in undergoing Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA/IVA) screening.

Method: This study employed a quantitative analytic research design using a cross-sectional survey approach. The study was conducted among 106 respondents selected from a population of 2.399 women of reproductive age in the working area of Petaling Community Health Center from March 2 to 28, 2026. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses. The chi-square test was used to determine the association between the independent variables and respondents’ interest in undergoing VIA screening.

Results: The results demonstrated significant associations between attitude (p < 0.001), husband’s support (p = <0.001), and distance to health facilities (p < 0.001) and the interest of women of reproductive age in undergoing VIA screening at Petaling Community Health Center in 2026.

Conclusion: Attitude, husband’s support, and distance to health facilities were significantly associated with women’s interest in undergoing VIA screening.

Suggestion: Women of reproductive age are encouraged to proactively seek accurate information regarding VIA screening procedures to reduce negative perceptions, including fear and embarrassment, and to increase participation in cervical cancer screening.
