Pendidikan Kesehatan Melalui Kuliah Whatsapp Dalam Upaya Peningkatan Pengetahuan Ibu Tentang Deteksi Dini Kanker Serviks

Early detection of cervical cancer in the Telukjambe region is still below the national target. One effort that can be made in the prevention of cervical cancer is to do early detection. However, many people, especially women of childbearing age, still have insufficient knowledge about early detection. The purpose of community service activities is to increase WUS knowledge and be willing to carry out early detection of cervical cancer to prevent cervical cancer in the Telukjamber region, of Karawang. This health education targets women of Reproductive Age (WUS) aged 20-50 years who live in the Telukjemabe area. Health education is carried out using Whatsapp groups about cervical cancer and early detection of cervical cancer. The activity was carried out for 60 minutes on August 8, 2022. In the health education activity, the team delivered material using text and sent pictures related to cervical cancer. The results showed differences in knowledge before and after being given counseling through Kulwap, with a value of p = 0.03. This means that in carrying out health education you can use various easily accessible media such as the Whatsapp group. The use of Whatsapp needs to be continuously improved and used in the community because apart from being able to reach a broad audience, the material can also be downloaded and taken at any time.Â
