Abstract


Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the female reproductive organs that connect the uterus and the vagina. Cervical cancer is caused by an infection with the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The high mortality rate is due to the late diagnosis of most patients. This study aims to analyze the relationship between family support, health worker support, and socio-economic factors with the delay in the early detection of cervical cancer patients. The research design is quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. The data analysis methods are univariate and bivariate. The sample size is 119 respondents, selected by simple random sampling. The results show that there is a significant association between health worker support (p-value 0.017) and socio-economic status (p-value 0.015) with the delay in the early detection of cervical cancer patients, and there is no significant relationship between family support (p-value 0.684) and the delay in the early detection of cervical cancer patients at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital. Early detection is a preventive measure that can be taken to avoid delays in the treatment of cervical cancer in women. If preventive measures are taken as early as possible, Indonesian women can be saved from the dangers of cervical cancer.
