Abstract
In Indonesia, it is estimated that there were 32,469 cases of cervical cancer and 18,279 deaths from cervical cancer. Poor genital hygiene is a risk factor for cervical cancer. Genital hygiene is a significant component of women's health and is very important for protecting reproductive health from an early age. Maintaining reproductive organ cleanliness requires knowledge and attitude. However, many Indonesians consider it taboo to talk about genital hygiene because it seems dirty and uncomfortable. This study aimed to describe the level of knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about genital hygiene in preventing cervical cancer in women of childbearing age at Tanjung Sekayam Health Center, Kapuas District, Sanggau Regency. This research was a descriptive study using a cross-sectional approach. The subjects were women of childbearing age (30–50 years) in the Tanjung Sekayam Health Center working area. Research subjects were taken using non-probability sampling with consecutive sampling techniques. The instrument is a questionnaire with a total sample size of 66 respondents. The results showed that the dominant proportions in this study were the early adult age group of 30-35 years (51.5%), the last education being elementary school (51.5%), and the occupation of housewives (75.8%). Respondents in this study had less knowledge (45.5%), good attitude (68.2%), and good behavior (48.5%)
