Latar belakang: Ketakutan merupakan hambatan perempuan untuk melakukan skrining kanker serviks
dengan metode Inspeksi Visual Asam Asetat (IVA) karena perempuan sudah terlebih dahulu takut
mengetahui hasil skrining dan akan terdiagnosis kanker serviks. Tujuan dari penelitiann ini adalah untuk
mengetahui hubungan ketakutan terdiagnosis kanker serviks dengan pemeriksaan IVA di Puskesmas
Sreseh Kabupaten Sampang. Metode: Rancangan penelitian ini adalah deskriptif korelasi dengan
metode pengumpulan data secara cross-sectional, dengan variabel independen adalah ketakutan
terdiagnosis kanker serviks dan dependen pemeriksaan IVA. Populasi penelitian ini adalah semua
perempuan berstatus menikah dan tinggal di wilayah Puskesmas Sreseh dengan total sampel sebanyak
200 perempuan diambil sesuai kriteria inklusi, dengan teknik sampling proportional sampling. Data
dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner kemudian dianalisis dengan uji statistik chi-square dan tingkat
signifikansi (p)= 0,000 <0,05, yang berarti H1 diterima. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya
hubungan yang signifikan antara ketakutan dengan pemeriksaan IVA (p=0,000). Diskusi: Dalam
penelitian ini, ketakutan terdiagnosis kanker serviks berhubungan dengan pemeriksaan IVA. Semakin
takut perempuan usia subur terdiagnosis kanker serviks maka perempuan tidak melakukan pemeriksaan
Inspeksi Visual Asam Asetat (IVA). Penelitian selanjutnya diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kesadaran
perempuan untuk melakukan pemeriksaan IVA dan menurunkan angka ketakutan perempuan
terdiagnosis kanker serviks, supaya pemeriksaan dini dengan metode IVA dapat meningkat.

inclusion criteria with proportional sampling technique. The data were collected by using questionnaire
then analyzed with chi-square statistical test and significiance level (p)= 0,000 <0,05, which means H1
was accepted. Results: The result of this study showed a significant relationship between fear with VIA
