Karakteristik WUS yang Melakukan Pemeriksaan IVA di Puskesmas Imogiri I

Abstract

Cervical cancer is a major health problem among women, while early detection through Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (IVA) can facilitate screening in primary health-care settings. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of women of reproductive age who underwent IVA examination, the proportion of positive IVA results, and the characteristics of women with positive findings at Imogiri I Public Health Center, Bantul. A descriptive quantitative study with a retrospective approach was conducted using medical records of women who underwent IVA examination from January to December 2024. From 147 women, 30 complete records were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Ministry of Health IVA examination checklist and analyzed descriptively using univariate analysis. Most women were aged 36–45 years (66.7%), had secondary education (66.7%), were not employed (63.3%), were primiparous (56.7%), and used non-hormonal contraception (46.7%). A history of vaginal discharge was reported in 63.3%, while 66.7% had no previous Pap smear and 93.3% had no family history of cancer. IVA results were negative in 90% of participants and positive in 10%. All women with positive IVA findings were multiparous, had a history of vaginal discharge, and had portio erosion.
