Background: GLOBOCAN data states that cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women after breast, colorectal and lung cancer. The high number of cervical cancer cases in Indonesia has led WHO to place Indonesia as the country with the 2nd highest number of cervical cancer sufferers in the world. In Indonesia, there is still little research that discusses the relationship between knowledge of female health workers to perform Pap Smears and HPV vaccinations. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between knowledge of health workers in performing Pap Smears and HPV vaccinations.
Method: quantitative analytical observational study using a cross-sectional study approach. The sample of this study was 104 female health workers working in Sampit City, Central Kalimantan with a purposive sampling technique. The independent variables are the knowledge of female health workers, the dependent variable is the behavior of implementing Pap Smears and HPV vaccines. The research instrument used was a questionnaire with Google Form and data analysis using the chi-square test with a significance of 5%.
Results: Most female health workers have good knowledge as many as 55 people (52.9%) and a small number of them have carried out Pap Smear examinations and HPV vaccination as many as 43 people (41.3%). The results of the statistical test of the relationship between knowledge and behavior p = 0.304 (p>0,05).
Conclusion: knowledge is not related to the behavior of Pap Smear examinations and HPV vaccination.
