Abstract


Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess cervical cancer knowledge and prevention behavior of childbearing age among women in Indonesia-Malaysia border areas of Badau.

Method: This research was a cross-sectional design. A total of 69 women, 15-49 years were selected by purposive sampling technique. The respondents were interviewed using a questionnaire.

Results: The overall women of childbearing age in Badau had good knowledge about cervical cancer, but poor cervical cancer prevention behavior.

Conclusion: Knowledge of cervical cancer has not been able to encourage cervical cancer prevention behavior in Indonesia-Malaysia border area of Badau, so that health centers need to synergize educational efforts such as increasing promotion and socialization related to cervical cancer prevention to increase public awareness in preventing cervical cancer, strengthening telemedicine among service providers health services such as village midwives and doctors are also very necessary to improve the quality and efficiency of health services in the village, as well as support from the government to help women prevent cervical cancer is also very necessary considering respondents complained about the large cost of vaccination.
